Gun Laws, Global Tensions and Eating Disorders

About this episode

Gareth and Leigh-Ann discuss global geopolitics, eating disorders, and new gun laws in South Africa.

Gareth and Leigh-Ann unpack the shifting landscape of global geopolitics and what South Africa’s potential role could look like in the event of a wider global conflict. Hanan delivers a powerful monologue on eating disorders, questioning whether society truly treats them as the serious mental health issue they are. Simon Wilkins from Galetti joins the conversation to discuss his incredible 36km swim across the icy English Channel, and Gideon Joubert weighs in on a major issue facing South Africans right now — the proposed new gun laws and what they could mean for personal safety and security.
