The world doesn't need a new Africa it needs a new Afrikan

Discussion on African Identity: My co-host Linda and I start with a humorous debate about African clothing and identity, setting the stage for deeper discussions on African culture and self-perception. We then got to the introduction of Dr. Molapo Selepe, a South African general practitioner in Australia. He shares his background, including his challenging upbringing during apartheid and his academic journey in medicine. Dr. Selepe talks about his book series "A New Afrikan," which explores African history, current issues, and future prospects. The goal is to inspire a change in mindset and promote African self-empowerment.

He also introduces the idea of "African privilege," highlighting the unique advantages and rich heritage of being African, despite common misconceptions and global biases. He also recounts the difficulties faced by Africans during apartheid and emphasises the importance of education and perseverance.

His personal journey serves as an example of overcoming systemic barriers to achieve success.
