How is democracy  domesticated on the African continent? And when we talk about misgovernance in Africa, what do we mean? 

In this episode Professor Lawrence Hamilton has a one-on-one with Professor Bernard Matolino to answer these questions.  Matolino talks about democracy by consensus  versus majoritarian democracy  looking at issues of representation and equality. 

And  he casts a critical eye on misgovernance on the continent, even touching on the subject of the controversial former South African President Jacob Zuma and his late counterpart Robert Mugabe. 

Also, not to be missed, in our monthly feature called the Political Agenda,  political studies scholar Moshibudi Motimele looks at the recent coup in Niger.
