In this short clip, I cover why I started "I Bumped Into". 

In this short episode clip, my recent guest Ben Iwisi unpacks why we should look at SA as a person. Then following that analogy,  we get to understand how South Africa suffered extreme levels Trauma and at times shows PTSD. 

We further talk about how South Africa does not want to go see a therapist and deal with its abusive past coupled with the fact that South Africa has multiple personalities.

We dive deeper to understand the consequences of this predicament, economically and socially and conclude with offering some direction on the topic by looking at how other countries have managed. 

I hope you enjoy this short episode clip. 

Full episode is available on all major platforms and as always, if you have any feedback, comments or suggestions for the show, please reach out to the team.
