The Dojo S19E05 | Two-Pot Panic, Stepdad Maintenance & The Death of Community

On this episode of The Dojo, we get into adulting fatigue, procrastination, and the quiet stress of trying to keep up with life when everything feels urgent at once. From there, the conversation moves into local elections, performative service delivery, bread handouts, and the frustration of only seeing politicians become visible when votes are around the corner.We also unpack the two-pot retirement system, why so many South Africans are dipping into pension money, and the bigger tension between financial survival now versus long-term security later. That opens up a much deeper conversation about black tax, capitalism, community, and how modern life has made it harder for people to ask for help or lean on each other.The episode closes with a heated debate around a divorce case involving stepchildren, maintenance, co-parenting, culture, fatherhood, and whether stepping into a parental role means you can ever truly step out again.
