The Dojo S19E02 – SONA | Water Crisis | Army for crime | Breadwinner double standards & gender roles

No Tabang this week, but the energy is still up.The guys kick off with everyday economics — refill stores, cheaper essentials, and how branding plays us. From there it turns into real adult talk: parenting struggles, phonics vs memorisation, and the frustration of helping your kid with maths homework when the methods don’t even make sense anymore.Then it gets political. SONA promises, water task teams, billion-rand budgets, and leaders saying they had to shower at hotels — while communities still go dry. The conversation moves into crime, Zama Zamas, whether deploying soldiers is extreme or necessary, and whether communities are slowly losing control.The second half gets spicy: gender roles, “house husband” perceptions, interracial dating dynamics, unemployment stigma, and what really defines a “bum” in a relationship.They close it off with a listener dilemma about a biological father wanting back into his child’s life — and the tension that creates in a new household.00:00 Refill stores & cheaper essentials02:36 Episode intro – Season 19 Episode 203:35 Uzuri Online & Standby Auto Repairs plug10:31 Parenting & why phonics matters19:33 Maths homework struggles39:16 SONA recap & water crisis frustration44:54 “Hotel shower” comments & public outrage54:24 Gangs, PAGAD & community safety01:04:23 Zama Zamas & “send the soldiers?” debate01:15:45 Travel stories & airline frustrations01:49:00 Gender roles & interracial dating dynamics01:58:24 What makes someone a “bum”?02:04:06 Attraction, standards & relationship equity02:08:45 Listener dilemma – stepfather vs biological father02:15:53 Boundaries, courts & household alignment02:29:24 How not to approach co-parenting conflict
