APARTHEID: WAS IT MISUNDERSTOOD & IS SOUTH AFRICA BETTER OFF?

WITH PROF. ERIC LOUW

COMMANDING THE NARRATIVE EPISODE 88


In this thought-provoking episode, Steven Tripp sits down with Prof. Eric Louw, a retired professor of political communication and former anti-apartheid activist, to explore the complex history and legacy of apartheid in South Africa.


With a career spanning journalism, academia, and activism, Prof. Louw offers a firsthand perspective on South Africa’s turbulent past and its present-day challenges. The discussion delves into whether South Africa is truly better off without apartheid, examining the socio-political and economic impacts of its abolition, as well as the fundamental thinking behind its creation and development – including what went wrong.
