5MM INTERVIEW - LEBOGANG MASHILE (FREEDOM DAY INTERVIEW) (27 APRIL 26)

Lebogang Mashile. The daughter of exiled South African parents, Mashile was born in the United States, and returned to South Africa in the mid-1990s after the end of apartheid. She began to study law and international relations at the University of the Witwatersrand but became more interested in the arts. Today, she is one of the biggest poets in our nation and we are so honoured to have you on the show. Most of her work is about social activism and media; she is a generation-defining poet.
