EPISODE 3: THE BLACK SHEEP IN A WHITE WOLVES' CLUB

Mahumz and Sibu kick-start by addressing last week's trending issue on Aandklas (a hard-rock club in Pretoria, South Africa) and how it refused to cater for its up and coming black market. The conversation then developed into a discussion on integration or rather segregation along racial lines within club culture. The discussion then ends by extending the topic to that of safe spaces for LGBT people in the club scene as well as violence as a reaction to discrimination. THIS ONE IS FOR THE ARCHIVES!
