This week Sibu and Mahumz unpack the issue around the use of witchcraft by young people in South Africa in order to acquire wealth and power and the lengths they would go to to sustain such wealth and power. This episode was inspired by the controversial Instagram Live by author Jackie Phamotse surrounding Ukhutwala - the practice of dark "medicine" or "rituals" by powerful people. LISTENER'S DISCRETION IS ADVISED!

Mahumz and Sibu kick-start by addressing last week's trending issue on Aandklas (a hard-rock club in Pretoria, South Africa) and how it refused to cater for its up and coming black market. The conversation then developed into a discussion on integration or rather segregation along racial lines within club culture. The discussion then ends by extending the topic to that of safe spaces for LGBT people in the club scene as well as violence as a reaction to discrimination. THIS ONE IS FOR THE ARCHIVES!

Mahumz and Sibu discuss "hook up culture" and its effects on our careers, health [ sexual, emotional, mental] AND family! References to #OutSuranceMustFall #KatlegoMaboe and #NikitaMurray saga as well as the hook up app culture and how it has transformed sexual behaviour. THIS IS A PLUG!!!
