  Pius Vilakati: Pegged: The Hidden Chains Between Eswatini and South Africa

  Jul 1, 202628 min

  PiusVilakati, International Secretary of the Communist Party of Swaziland, currently exiled in Azania/South Africa, joins me to talk about the dialectical relations of the economy of South Africa and eSwatiniEswatini doesn't control its own currency. Half its government revenue depends on a customs union it cannot leave. And for over a century, its men have gone underground to dig South Africa's gold. In this episode, we examine the dialectical relationship between Eswatini and South Africa — two economies locked in contradiction, each shaping and shaped by the other. We trace the history from colonial dispossession through apartheid-era collusion to the structural dependency that persists today — pegged currency, South African banks, South African supermarkets, South African electricity, South African telecommunications. And we ask the question that the official story of independence has always avoided: is Eswatini a sovereign nation — or a labour reserve with a flag?

  Dr. Shukura Umi: Built On Our Bodies: A History of Medical Experimentation

  Jun 14, 202629 min

  Their bodies built Western medicine. Their names were erased. Their families were never paid. And their daughters are still dying today. This episode is about African women — not as victims, but as the uncredited founders of an entire medical field. We trace an unbroken line from Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsy, three enslaved women who endured dozens of experimental surgeries without anesthesia in 1845 Alabama, to Sarah Bartman, displayed in European freak shows and kept in pieces in a Paris museum until 1974, to Henrietta Lacks, whose stolen cells built the polio vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine while her own family went uncompensated for decades. Then we bring it to today — to Kira Johnson and Dr. Shalon Irving, two African women who died in American hospitals in the 21st century not because of poverty or lack of education, but because of race. Our guest, Dr. Shukura Umi, connects every one of these dots — and makes the case that until African people own the resources, the land, and the institutions that govern their health, this history will keep repeating itself. Forward ever, backwards never.

  Jaki Seroke: Manufactured Enemies - Xenophobia, White Capital & the Third Force

  Jun 8, 202618 min

  The township burns. The Sandton mansion does not. In this episode, we expose the engineered hatred behind South Africa's anti-immigrant violence — tracing it from today's March and March marches all the way back to the apartheid state's documented strategy of funding Black factions to fight each other. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission proved it happened before. The question is whether it's happening again — and who benefits. One episode. One question: who put the knife in the hand, and who made sure it was pointed at the wrong person? Pan-African Congress of Azania Deputy President, Jaki Seroke, returns to take us through this episde.

  Onyesonwu Chatoyer: Class War Dispatches - Latin America

  May 19, 202618 min

  Reformist governments — however well-intentioned — that operate within the framework of capitalist relations and seek accommodation with imperialism will ultimately be unable to defend the gains of the working class. The people of Venezuela and Cuba are paying in blood and hunger the price of imperialist aggression. The task of revolutionaries throughout the hemisphere — and internationally — is to build the organized political capacity of the working class that can not only resist the bourgeois offensive, but ultimately transcend it. In Havana, the lights are going out as an economic blockade tightens like a fist. This is not ancient history. This is now. Welcome to Latin America Dispatches: The Class Struggle in 2026 — where we bear witness, analyze, and refuse to look away." My guest for this episode is Onyesonwe Chatoyer. Onyesonwu is editor of the Hood Communist - A collective of trans-national African revolutionary nationalists using journalism to advance the struggle for African liberation. https://hoodcommunist.org/

  Jaki Seroke: The End of Apartheid, The Beginning of Questions

  Apr 27, 202628 min

  In this episode, Jaki Seroke, Deputy President of the Pan-African Congress of Azania (PAC), explores with me the turning point of the 1980s—a decade defined by intensified resistance, where sanctions, armed struggle, and mass protests collided with the apartheid state’s attempts at reform. We then examine how global shifts, including the fall of the Soviet Union and changing Western policy, reshaped the political landscape of Azania and opened the door to negotiations under de Klerk. As Azania/South Africa transitions into a new democratic era, we interrogate the realities of the post-apartheid state—marked by political ambition, growing inequality, and the illusion of the “Rainbow Nation.” Ultimately, we confront a critical question: has the African revolution been fulfilled, or has it reached a crossroads?
