Trust Issues: Tracking the ‘Abahambe’ movement

In the first episode of Trust Issues, Aphiwe Mame unpacks how social media can turn fear, anger and uncertainty into powerful narratives around migration and xenophobia.

Featuring insights from digital creator & journalist Romantha (she/her) Botha Botha and UNISA lecturer Dr. Nkululeko Sibiya, we look at how the abahambe movement gained traction, why we trust information from people we know, and why media literacy is becoming increasingly important.
