"AWE! Celebrating Coloured Culture" - Don't Rip Us From Our Identity
Loading player...
"Awe!" is a bi-monthly feature that features panel guests Grant, Lee, and Fareed - celebrating Coloured Culture.
In this show, Grant and Lee share some reflection reactions to the controversial attack on the Coloured people by the OpenChats podcast, and a breakdown of why a Coloured woman, is the neck, head, and entire body of a Coloured family.
The Coloured population of South Africa—about 9% of the country—occupies a complex social position shaped by a layered identity and a legacy of exclusion, often described as being “not Black enough, not White enough.” While educational attainment and income have improved since apartheid, many communities still face high unemployment, entrenched poverty, and limited upward mobility, particularly in rural areas. Health outcomes are poorer than the national average, with higher rates of chronic illness and less access to quality healthcare. Spatial segregation remains entrenched, reinforcing inequality, yet the community maintains a vibrant cultural heritage through language, music, food, and traditions. This resilience is matched by an ongoing struggle for fair representation in media and public life, as well as a growing movement to reclaim and celebrate Coloured identity in modern South Africa.
