Ep 146 | Paul Noko Mutwsagule talks about the politics of Language n his play ' One Yard 7 Shacks'

Greetings, World As I sat down to have a conversation with the multi-award winning playwright and academic, Paul Noko Mutwsagule, I was interested to hear his thoughts on the complex topic of language and its role in politics. In his acclaimed play, "One Yard 7 Shacks," Paul delves into the concept of 'scamto' - a language that is a blend of all South African languages. According to Paul, 'scamto' represents the rich diversity of South Africa and has now seeped into mainstream marketing, nation-building, and even sports events. As we delved deeper into the conversation, Paul explained how his play is his way of putting his beliefs into action at Wits University, where he uses theatre as a form of praxis to challenge societal norms and break down barriers.https://web.facebook.com/share/p/tK1JpaY9tbQ6X82R/Hosted by Wesley Pepper Produced by #theartlexcia #podcast
