There's a powerful story unfolding across the continent, driven by a spirit of giving that is uniquely African. Conversations on African Philanthropy brings you directly into dialogue with the people shaping this narrative. Each episode sits down with leaders, innovators, and practitioners whose work is actively building a culture of effective social investment, from corporate responsibility to community-led philanthropy. This isn't just about charity; it's about systemic change and sustainable impact rooted in local contexts. The podcast is hosted by the Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment (CAPSI), which is based at Wits Business School. Since its founding in 2017, CAPSI has been at the heart of research and discourse on giving in Africa, and this series extends that mission into an accessible audio format. You'll hear candid discussions that move beyond theory, exploring the real challenges, successes, and evolving philosophies of giving on the ground. Tune in for thoughtful perspectives that redefine what it means to invest in Africa's future, highlighting the strategies and personal journeys that are fostering genuine social transformation.
