AmabaliPod is a research-driven podcast series on the multi-layered experience of gender-based violence in South Africa.

We aim to host discussions with womxn and LGBTQIA+ people with a myriad of perspectives and contributions regarding GBV and relationships, activism, health and safety, consent culture, governance and public policy, working environments and money.

Importantly, while attentive to the banal and complex modes of violence that systemic patriarchy inflicts on us, the podcast also seeks to provide a safe public platform that affirms survivors.

    Vavasati International Womens Fesival ft Mamela Nyamza and Kgaogelo Tshabalala

    Hello Amabali fam! We’ve got new content for you on AmabaliPod. 



    On this 3rd episode of AmabaliPod we speak to Mamela Nyamza and Kgaogelo Tshabalala who are the co-curators of the 7th edition of the Vavasati International Women’s Festival held at the State Theatre, Pretoria. 



    These two creative artists, performers and directors give insight to how the festival has grown, and some of the challenges they’ve gone through and strides they’ve overcome. We’ve been honored to be in their presence as they carry our South African flag high amidst the fight against patriarchy and misogyny in our society. 



    “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you.” - Maya Angelou

    Queer Intimate Partner Violence ft Tumelo Thamaga and Sinalo Tuku

    Queer Intimate Partner Violence ft Tumelo Thamaga and Sinalo Tuku

    NEW EPISODE ALERT! 😁 Here's our second episode of AmabaliPod podcast.

    This week's episode features two Rhodes University students who are directing and producing a short docuseries on Queer Intimate Partner Violence (QIPV). We sit down with Tumelo Thamaga and Sinalo Tuku who talk to us about why they are interrogating this aspect of gender-based violence, and what hopes they aim to achieve through this production.

    Intimate Partner Violence within queer and/or same sex relationships remains poorly understood and under researched. Gender-based violence is not only a heterosexual problem; let's stop negating the violent experiences that queer individuals go through in this patriarchal and homo/trans/phobic society.

    Sorry it is late, but what's important is that it has arrived :)
