Verskuif die Sentrum van Bybel-Interpretasie (hermeneutiek) - Wessel Wessels in gesprek met Deon Kitching
https://blueplatform.podbean.com/e/verskuif-die-sentrum-van-bybel-interpretasie-hermeneutiek-wessel-wessels/
[AFRIKAANS]
Daar word deurentyd gepoog om die Bybel beter te verstaan vir ons tyd. Mense verskil (partykeer heftig!) oor die betekenis van sekere gedeeltes. Wat nie weg gepraat kan word nie is dat ons vir eeue die Bybel vanuit 'n Westerse denkhoek bekyk en hanteer het. Die sentrum van die uitleg was in die Weste gesetel.

Wessel Wessels, dosent by die Fakulteit Teologie en Religie in Bloemfontein, is van mening dat daar meer as een sentrum van verstaan is - afhangende van die living space van mense en kulture. Die erkenning van die diversiteit van sentrums bied geleentheid tot groter gesprek en gesonde dialoog.

Leef God anderkant die kerk - Tienie Van Rensburg In gesprek met Deon Kitching

https://blueplatform.podbean.com/e/leef-god-anderkant-die-kerk-tienie-van-rensburg/

Tienie is 'n wyse mens. Soos jy hulle in Namibië kry. Hy het vele paaie gestap; studenteraadsvoorsitter Bloemfontein, prokureur, predikant in die VGK en NG Kerk in Namibië. Nou aan die bestuur van hulle eie gastehuis op Swakopmund.

Hy praat in die potgooi oor die skuiwe wat in sy lewe plaasgevind het. Die manier waarop hy d**k oor ras, grond, kerk en God. Tienie is 'n voorbeeld van iemand wat vrygekom het van die dogma van kerk en nou vrede gemaak het met die sin van die lewe en bronne van hoop. Hy praat minder en leef meer... alledaags. Dis wat my beindruk van die tipe Ds Tienie!

Success Lekabe - OFM- en Bok Radio-aanbieder. Geen geringe prestasie! In gesprek met Deon Kitching

https://blueplatform.podbean.com/e/success-lekabe-ofm-en-bok-radio-aanbieder-geen-geringe-prestasie/

[AFRIKAANS]

Jy hoor die opwinding en lus vir die lewe in haar stem. Immers sy het al baie paaie geloop in haar 31 jaar hier op aarde. "Dit was nie maklik om aan te hou nie. Was dit nie vir my ma en die res van my familie nie, sou ek nooit sover gekom het nie. Veral my ma is amazing. Ek is egter 'n positiewe mens en probeer alles en praat met almal".

Success is bekend as omroeper en TV-persoonlikheid. As een van die vyf vrouens (die jongste) op die gespreksplatform TUSSEN ONS, op Kyknet, moes sy baie leer by haar mede-spanlede. Success vertel hulle het haar vinnig onder hulle vlerke geneem en haar gemaklik laat voel.

In hierdie potgooi praat sy oor haar geboortedorp, Potchefstroom; wat gee hoop en sin aan haar lewe en wat wil sy graag met haar lewe bereik.

Bouwer Bosch - oor klere, passie vir musiek, sy mense en kritiek in gesprek met Deon Kitching
https://blueplatform.podbean.com/e/bouwer-bosch-oor-klere-passie-vir-musiek-sy-mense-en-kritiek/

In die openhartige gesprek met Bouwer Bosch, kunstenaar, musikant, semi-politikus en akteur gesels hy oor sy passie vir die geskiedenis van alle Suid Afrikaners en spesifiek van die Afrikaner. Ons wonder saam oor die seer wat nog in baie mense se harte leef en waarom daar so maklik konflik ontstaan as daar oor die verlede gepraat word.

Bouwer vertel ook van sy nuwe klere-reeks, sy liefde vir humor en musiek en sy hantering van kritiek. Hy bly optimisties oor die verskil wat elke Suid Afrikaner kan maak in die lewe van ons mede-landgenote, al moet ons dit dan sonder die bystand van 'n korrupte regering doen. Hy vertel van sy begin-dae op Potchefstroom en sy vriendskap met Bennie Fourie.

Luister gerus na die opbouende gesprek.

-- SA Land Reform and the Covid-19 Pandemic - Igor Boonzaaier -- Interviewed by Deon Kitching

https://blueplatform.podbean.com/e/sa-land-reform-and-the-covid-19-pandemic-before-and-after/

One of the flash points that came out of the ANC's conference of December 2017 was land expropriation without compensation.

But there was a drastic turn of events. The plan to amend section 25 of South Africa’s Constitution to allow for land expropriation without compensation has been put on hold due to the ongoing corona virus lockdown on May 22nd, 2020.

Pres Cyril Ramaphosa asked business leaders to play a more proactive role in land expropriation through a donations policy, which will allow for companies to voluntarily give up under-utilized land to communities whose land was taken away. Read more

Where do we stand now? Igor Boonzaaier has work within the land reform environment for the past 24 years - in the public and private sector. He is currently involved with several consultations with farmers and workers.Igor help us to explore the way forward.

Kuber-Begrafnisse. Rituele in Digitale Spasies - Nicolaas Matthee in gesprek met Deon Kitching.

Dit mag vir baie mense na 'n vreemde konsep klink, naamlik om 'n geliefde wat dood is se lewe te gedenk op 'n sosiale platform of êrens in die kuberruim op 'n webtuiste.

https://blueplatform.podbean.com/e/kuber-begrafnisse-rituele-in-digitale-spasies/

Nicholaas het heelwat navorsing gedoen oor mense se belewing van virtuele ruimtes en oor rituele wat daarin plaasvind. Om dit te kon doen het hy sy jarelange ervaring as "online video gamer" ingespan. Sy denke en navorsing maak nuwe moontlikhede oop om sinvolle rituele in digitale spasies te ontwikkel.

In tye soos hierdie word ons uitgedaag om met kreatiewe oplossings na vore te kom, en as liturge moet ons nuwe spasies skep waar mense iets van God en ander kan beleef. “The crafting of grief” is iets wat nog altyd op ons tafels was, maar nou het dit ’n nuwe konteks gekry.

Re-Imagining Slave Memory - Shanaaz Hoosain, Interviewed by Deon Kitching

https://blueplatform.podbean.com/e/re-imaging-slave-memory-shanaaz-hoozain/

[ENGLISH]

Re-Imagining slave memory. Why now? Many of the crises that we experience in the world today, whether it's about police brutality or racism, have more to do with the past than the present. There is an African proverb that illustrates this point: When the young people do not feel the warmth of the village, they will burn it down.

Talking about slave memory and history creates a good space to talk about identity. This whole process will be helped forward by people who are engaging in open, courageous conversations about their past.

Dr Shanaaz Hoosain is a senior lecturer in Social Development at the University of Cape Town.

Geloof - Wetenskap - Covid 19 Gesprekke

Danie Veldsman - grepe uit 'n soeke - gesprek met Deon Kitching. Hoe praat ons geloofwaardig oor dié onderwerp midde in die ervarings van die Covid 19-pandemie van die afgelope paar maande? https://blueplatform.podbean.com/e/geloof-wetenskap-covid-19-gesprekke/

[AFRIKAANS]

Danie Veldsman is Professor aan die Teologiese Fakulteit in Pretoria. Lees meer

Hoe praat ons geloofwaardig oor dié onderwerp midde in die ervarings van die Covid 19-pandemie van die afgelope paar maande?

Beide geloof en wetenskap het oor 'n aantal jare ons in 'n intense emosionele gemors laat beland, meen Danie. In beide sfere was daar "onkantspel". Geloof het goed gedoen wat ons vir die wetenskap moes los en die wetenskap het so geïrriteerd begin raak dat hulle goed begin doen het wat ons in die teologie moes doen.

Affektiwiteit speel 'n belangrike rol in die gesprek meen Danie. Hy herinner aan die woorde van Pascal, "Die hart het redes waarvan die rede nie eens weet nie".
