The Televisheni Podcast

You think it and we say it! Where African women go to experience the thoughts that run through their heads on news commentary and analysis.

In this episode, Tony is joined by Bonface Gitaua for a two-hour crash course on the history of Kenyan democracy. They discuss next year’s general elections; why fear is the main driving force of ethnic hostility; big man politics; Hannah Arendt’s idea of “the banality of evil” & what it has to say about why neighbours maim each other during elections; Nyayoism & Daniel arap Moi’s Kenya Africa Nationalism; the case for (and against) Raila Odinga–why he might be the lesser of two evils; Andrew Morton’s “Moi: The Making of an African Statesman”; presidential term limits in Africa; whether Democracy ought to be as malleable in definition as Kagame suggests; language & national identity; the case for (and against) Western democracy; the China-U.S. trade war; the Western gaze & what Macron refers to as “Africa’s civilizational problems”; the Afghanistan withdrawal; the case for (and against) aid & interventionism; the 2018 media shutdown; hate speech statutes; the nuclear threat; free expression & what should count as a reasonable limit to it; the case for (and against) self-censorship; and many other topics.
