And in an increasingly diverse and secular society, does the religious oath still have a meaningful place in public life? 702 Afternoons with Relebogile Mabotja is broadcast live on Johannesburg based talk radio station 702 every weekday afternoon. Relebogile brings a lighter touch to some of the issues of the day as well as a mix of lifestyle topics and a peak into the worlds of entertainment and leisure.  Thank you for listening to a 702 Afternoons with Relebogile Mabotja podcast.  Listen live on Primedia+ weekdays from 13:00 to 15:00 (SA Time) to Afternoons with Relebogile Mabotja broadcast on 702 https://buff.ly/gk3y0Kj [https://buff.ly/gk3y0Kj]  For more from the show go to https://buff.ly/2qKsEfu [https://buff.ly/2qKsEfu] or find all the catch-up podcasts here https://buff.ly/DTykncj [https://buff.ly/DTykncj]  Subscribe to the 702 Daily and Weekly Newsletters https://buff.ly/v5mfetc [https://buff.ly/v5mfetc]    Follow us on social media:    702 on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TalkRadio702 [https://www.facebook.com/TalkRadio702]  702 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkradio702 [https://www.tiktok.com/@talkradio702]  702 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkradio702/ [https://www.instagram.com/talkradio702/]  702 on X: https://x.com/Radio702 [https://x.com/Radio702]  702 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@radio702 [https://www.youtube.com/@radio702]  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
