- 7 - Aryn Baker: Time Magazine Africa Correspondent
"I am biased, I try to correct my biases in my reporting, but yes i come from a point of view. I think the role of the responsible journalist is to always be aware of his or her biases and correct them or compensate for them."
Aryn Baker
Aryn is the Time magazine Africa correspondent. Before moving to Cape Town to cover Africa she was The Time magazine Middle East correspondent based in Beirut, before that she covered the war in Afghanistan, which is where I met her.
Aryn has over 20 years’ experience in journalism and a wealth of fascinating stories and insight. In this interview we discuss; Aryn’s time in Afghanistan, embedding with the military, travelling in Africa, the best stories she’s covered, how she sources stories, her favourite African authors and living with an immunocompromised partner during COVID-19.
SHOW NOTES

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 - 1h 02min - 6 - Tinashe Nyamudoka: Kumusha Wine
“You know what? Sometimes I just don’t have to fit in, in place of saying I feel excluded at an event, why can’t I create my own event? Why can’t I create my own wine? Why can’t I create my own space? So for me, you can say Kumusha was a bit rebellious.”
Tinashe Nyamudoka.
Tinashe is a master blender and founder of Kumasha Wines. He was born and raised in Zimbabwe but developed his love of wine as a waiter and latterly sommelier at some of the finest restaurants in South Africa. Kumusha is the culmination of all his knowledge, skill and learning in a bottle and it's been met with rave reviews.
Tinashe has won the prestigious Eat Out Wine Service Award, competed in the World Blind Wine Tasting Championships for Zimbabwe and is an executive member of the non-profit Black Cellar Club. Tinashe knows his wine.
Above all though Tinashe is an entrepreneur; his drive, dedication and vision is inspiring. He left Zimbabwe in 2008 when hyper-inflation ravaged the economy and started working as a baker in a supermarket in Cape Town, from there he became a waiter and finally sommelier. The journey hasn't been easy and I hope you'll be as inspired by Tinashe as I am.

Fri, 04 Sep 2020 - 56min - 5 - Tom Hewitt MBE: Surfers Not Street Children
“The kids on the streets have really educated me…some of the greatest acts of compassion and kindness that I have ever seen in the world have been by street children toward other street children… I feel indebted to the kids I’ve worked with, they’ve taught me a lot.”
Tom Hewitt, MBE
Tom is the founder of ‘Surfers Not Street Children’ an amazing charity that helps some of the most disadvantaged children in South Africa and Mozambique. Tom’s charity gets them off the streets, often off drugs and uses surfing as part of the process.
Tom has been awarded an MBE from the Queen for his incredible work and counts Prince Harry, Pope Francis and surfers Kelly Slater, Rosy Hodge and Stephanie Gilmore among supporters of his organisation.
Tom’s passion for Africa and for helping others come across in the interview where we discuss his early life as anti-Apartheid activist, stumbling into a township, his love of surfing and his drive to help those less fortunate than himself is inspiring.
SHOW NOTES
During the chat we also discussed:
Two books Tom recommends are Steve Biko’s seminal book: ‘I Write What I like’ and Paulo Feore’s ‘Pedagogy of the Oppressed.’

Fri, 28 Aug 2020 - 49min - 4 - Trevor Ncube: Zimbabwean Media Entrepreneur and Activist
“That’s the thing dictators don’t realise, you make heroes out of common people who are just trying to do their work and that’s what they did with me….every time a dictator throws someone in prison they are recruiting for the other side.”
Trevor Ncube
Today I talk to Trevor Ncube about his journalism, standing up to Robert Mugabe, his dyslexia, going to prison for his beliefs, growing up poor and his daily routine.
Trevor runs Alpha Media Holdings and hosts a hugely popular YouTube channel, ‘In Conversation with Trevor.’ He’s edited and published some of southern Africa’s biggest publications including the Mail and Guardian (South Africa) and The Zimbabwe Independent.
Ncube grew up poor, in a village outside of Bulawayo. His parents worked as domestic workers in town and he was raised by his grandparents. Trevor didn’t have an easy childhood, but the fight out of poverty has given him an inner strength and drive. This strength saw him take on Robert Mugabe and go to prison for his belief in a free and independent press.
Trevor is brave but also humble. I found today’s conversation incredibly inspiring and a timely reminder of the power of the human spirit.
SHOW NOTES
'In Conversation with Trevor' can be found on Youtube
You can also find Trevor on Instagramand Facebook

Thu, 20 Aug 2020 - 56min - 2 - Deon Meyer: African Crime Fiction Icon
“It’s an extremely lonely process…nobody knows what’s happening in my world and I don’t want to tell people what I’m writing because hopefully they’ll read the book and I’ll spoil it. So, it’s not only you are alone in this world, but you can’t really talk so nobody can relate.”
Deon Meyer
