In this long-awaited third episode of CAST Chats Season 1, Prof chats to the self-made historian, poet, and arts entrepreneur Suzan Skhosana, who started a second career dedicating herself to exploring and honoring the legacy of her ancestors in Kgabalatsane village, North West. Her ancestor Miga Kgasi was a missionary, educator, and artist of note who has drawn interest as far away as Germany, and Skhosana's story reminds us all of the incredible doors that can open up when we take the stories within our own families and communities seriously.

In the second episode of CAST Chats Season 1, Prof chats with Ntobeko Ximba, one of the most exciting emerging voices on the Cape Town comedy scene. Ntobeko talks about keeping his comedy career secret in the early days, joking about race without joking about race, and how wild food connects him to his KZN roots. We also discuss his first-ever solo show "Pharanoid" directed by Andi Colombo, playing at the Baxter Theatre Centre until 1 March.
