No Illusions #44 – South Africa & Zimbabwe

First podcast for 2012! Sorry it’s been so long between shows – this episode took me FOREVER to edit. Blame Ira Glass.

Anyway… I’m fascinated with the long-term effects of colonialisation. We all know that colonialisation is usually a disaster for the indigenous population while the colonial power is occupying their country – but what about once they leave? Does it get better? Or worse? And why?

Today’s show has two guests – Adam Shand talking about his recent trip to Zimbabwe and Petros Kondos talking about why he and his family are emigrating from South Africa.
