Pieter Kriel on Apartheid, White Privilege, Religion & Finding a Socialist Path for SA
"Reading the Bible made me realize that the Bible has been used as a great obstacle in the progress of humanity." Activist and political commentator Pieter Kriel joins Palatable Politics to trace his journey from Christianity to socialism, driven by spotting injustice. He unpacks the deep links between religion and colonialism, discusses the mental and economic aspects of white privilege, and argues why apartheid's legacy still profoundly impacts South Africa today. Kriel also shares his critical analysis of the ANC, DA, EFF, and MK, explains his issues with the TRC and Nelson Mandela's approach, and comments on the Mthlante Commission. Do you agree that apartheid's legacy still shapes SA today?
