About this podcast
I am Zimasa Vabaza, more commonly known as @mooshtaffa on social media. I created this platform because of the love I have for simplifying socio-economic knowledge around South Africa, SADC, Africa, & the globe. Here we cover small & big stories that matter—stories that you should know but from a different, less explored perspective.
We also host podcast-style conversations with interesting people. We hope you will watch, engage, and enjoy.
