Politically Aweh’s new Coronavirus explainer series aims to help viewers understand the impact of the virus in Africa. The show is known for its witty humour and 'pacy' editing.
In the first episode in the series,
Politically Aweh’s Aman Baboolal takes a closer look at human rights and how it is being effected under the cover of a 'war' with the virus.
For more insight, Aman speaks to human rights lawyer and host of the legal podcast
Just Us Under a Tree Elisha Kunene. The team also hears from Daneel Knoetze, journalist at accountability journalism project ViewFinder, on the normalisation of police abuse in South Africa.
This launch builds on the momentum of
Politically Aweh winning the
2020 Inside The Greenhouse international video competition on Earth Day last week for its
Climate Change in South Africa series.
The videos are included in the South African government's official climate change response toolkit and have been watched by hundreds of municipal officials from across five provinces in South Africa at training workshops, as well as thousands of youth in schools and youth clubs.
