The Volksraad, which was the legislative assembly of the Boer republics in South Africa during the latter half of the 19th century, had resolved to prohibit natives from squatting on crown lands and this made it illegal for natives to own land.

In the last episode, we went through how Vereeniging was founded and how the South African war ended with a peace treaty that excluded black people and their enfranchisement.

In episode 2, we want to find out where the black people were during that time and the roots of the activism in this region that had an effect on the trajectory of the political struggle of South Africa.

We are joined by HRH Thabo Makobe and Jabulani Oliphant who both give very insightful accounts of the history of Vereeniging and the Vaal in general.

Happy Monday,
We hope everyone got to their nearest voting stations and registered to vote, even if you are still not sure who to vote for at this stage.

Finally Episode 1 drops today, currently only available on Anchor and Spotify

Ep1- Where we come from Part 1
Established in 1892, Vereeniging has such a rich history that carved it to be what it is today.

We felt it necessary that we take it all the way to the beginning of the beginning.

Special thanks to Mr Sarel and Jeanine Feldtmann who were so gracious in helping me put this information together.

Finally...

Welcome to Yearning for Change Podcast

This is a people-centered podcast series that will be covering the elections in the Emfuleni Municipality from the perspective of the people.

Often during this time, mainstream media focusses on the political parties which is obviously is important however no one really asks the people what they want.

And this is mainly the point of this podcast.

Another thing that we want to to do is to educate people, mainly young voters on their political freedom and how they can fully participate in the politics of the day even without being members of political parties.

Our right to vote was one that was a hard won, one that we need to exercise to ensure we see the change we have so long yearned for.

Find the trailer here: https://open.spotify.com/show/6G8QtCJSGRHeqifvORtjNC
Ep1 drops tomorrow.

Podcast cover: Mpho Mosola
