In the latest episode, legendary storyteller, poet and author Dr. Gcina Mhlophe reflects on what it means to preserve culture in a fast-changing world.

She explains why storytelling remains the heartbeat of cultural identity - and why younger generations must learn to balance tradition with modern life.
“Culture starts within,” she says. “It’s about having a sense of belonging, of respect, and of knowing who you are, even as the world changes.”
