‘This is Jo’burg’ Season 1 Episode 5: Outsiders

Joburg Podcast 5

Jo’burg has always been a city of migrants. But how welcoming is it these days?

Charles Leonard asks three women from different backgrounds about the idea of being outsiders, about being Jo’burgers and what this city means to them.
