Due to popular response, we have decided to offer the full length interview between Alison McCallum and Nomfundo Mogapi as a SEASON ONE EXTRA.

Those of you who have enjoyed episodes 2 and 3 which featured Nomfundo Mogapi (from the Centre for Mental Wellness and Leadership) will find this especially interesting.

We also hope you will share this with your managers and human resources colleagues who will find it especially interesting in so far as it explores how they can create a safer environment for social performance practitioners to work in.

Chulumanco Mdingi, a community relations manager in the renewable energy sector, shares his extensive practical and theoretical knowledge of socio-economic development in the South African context. Chulumanco describes some of the poor practices he has been exposed to but also points to the structural challenges with operating in community contexts. Psychologist Nomfundo Mogapi shares her knowledge of how family and intergenerational trauma make this challenge significantly more difficult to manage without adopting heightened levels of awareness on the psychological architecture of communities.
