Loading player...
In this gripping edition of Lift Club, Wilné van Rooyen and Zeeko Alexander sit down with Louis Botha, teacher at Helpmekaar Kollege and former educator in London, and Thinus Ferreira, veteran TV critic and pop culture journalist.
Recorded in the wake of the hit Netflix series Adolescence, this timely conversation explores how toxic masculinity, online influence, and gender-based violence are playing out in both schools and the media landscape—locally and abroad.
Louis Botha reflects on his experience in the classroom, both in the UK and back in South Africa, while Thinus Ferreira offers a critical look at how South African television is (and isn’t) responding to these urgent social issues.
Tune in for a bold and thought-provoking conversation about culture, responsibility, and the role of media in shaping the next generation.
