Banna Ba Mamaenara in Lesotho: Redemption
Manage episode 306919114 series 3005800
In this episode, we explore the unknown world of the zama zamas, clandestine miners who are scavenging for gold in the world's deepest abandoned mines of South Africa. Our guests touch upon the condition of the women of illegal miners but also on the positive forms of masculinities that emerge from underground.
Mpiwa Mangwiro has explored the social consequences of the extractive industry in South Africa, and Rosalind Morris is an award-winning anthropologist who has launched a project devoted to the zama zamas, featuring a documentary and several short films.
