In this episode I have a conversation with Penuel The Black Pen, a South African online commentator, entrepreneur, podcast host and interrogator of powerful ideas. We discuss what is holding many people back in southern Africa, the power of frank conversations, exposing your audience to ideas or people that might make them uncomfortable or angry, social media as medium for exploring ideas and more.
On his show, Penuel has candid conversations with some of the most prominent, interesting or rising thinkers, activists and authors in South Africa today, from all across the political and philosophical spectrum.

![AfriForum at the United Nations 2022 | Feedback
I give feedback on AfriForums trip to Geneve, Switzerland, to attend the 15th session of the United Nations Forum on Minority Issues. Ernst Roets, AfriForum’s Chief Executive for International Liaison, delieverd a speech at the United Nations (UN) on the continued hate speech and discrimination against minorities in South Africa.
AfriForum also handed in a report in person at the offices of the United Nations’ Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in Geneve, Switzerland. This report forms part of AfriForum’s established and growing international awareness campaign.
The abovementioned report seeks to document all the new discriminatory legislation, incidents and policies in South Africa that have been implemented or proposed or have occurred since 2020. The report also documents some of the most prominent incidents of hate speech and incitement of violence against minorities by high profile figures in that same timeframe.
South Africa is due to be reviewed by CERD in 2023 in regard to the elimination of discrimination. CERD confirmed that AfriForum’s report will be included in this process. This is a major first step towards AfriForum establishing itself as a key roleplayer in this review process.
I also discuss our visit to South Tyrol to meet friends of the Afrikaners there.
