Dr. Pamela Brewer welcomes journalist and author Lynda Schuster back to M.E.S.H. for a powerful continuation of their conversation about A Burning Hunger, the Soweto Uprising, and the young people whose courage helped expose the human cost of apartheid.
This episode focuses on Tsietsi Mashinini, the brilliant teenage student leader whose ability to organize, speak, and inspire helped turn deep frustration into collective action. Together, Dr. Brewer and Lynda explore student protest, family trauma, torture, truth-telling, and the emotional weight of using your voice when speaking can place your life at risk.
