Manage episode 478847878 series 3660127
What does it really mean to start over in a new country?
In this episode, host Rafee Moosagie sits down with Muhammed Abusrweil, a Libyan national who fled war only to face a different kind of danger on the streets of Cape Town. What was supposed to be a fresh start turned into a harsh lesson in survival.
In this episode, we explore:
- Muhammed’s escape from conflict in Libya
- His shocking experience of being robbed shortly after arriving in South Africa
- The mental and emotional toll of displacement
- How he turned struggle into strength.
This isn’t just a migrant's story. It’s a story of rebuilding, resilience, and reclaiming power in the face of adversity.
