The highly anticipated Season 3 of the engaging and enlightening Castle Milk Stout Black Conversations is back, set to grace Mzansi Magic screens from Thursday, October 12, 2023. Following the tremendous success of the previous two seasons, which delved into significant topics such as Black Spirituality, Black Mental Health, and Black Pride, Season 3 promises to further enrich the discourse surrounding the experiences of Africans.
Castle Milk Stout, a brand committed to inspiring Africans to rediscover their cultural heritage and values in the modern world, initiated Black Conversations in 2022. The platform aimed to encourage open dialogues among black South Africans about topics often held discreetly behind closed doors.
The maiden and subsequent series of Castle Milk Stout Black Conversations featured stimulating conversations led by carefully selected media personalities, each focusing on specific thought-provoking topics. Season 2 covered essential themes like Black Spirituality and Black Pride, exploring how Africans embrace their identity in a Westernized society, intelligence, beauty standards, and pride. Renowned figures like Celeste Ntuli and Sophie Ndaba brought their insights and experiences to the forefront, sparking critical conversations.
Reflecting on the success of the earlier seasons, Khwezi Vika, Castle Milk Stout Marketing Manager, expressed the positive impact the show had in sparking conversations and presenting an authentic ‘black’ perspective on various topics. The overwhelmingly positive response encouraged the introduction of Season 3, expected to be a catalyst for meaningful conversations and an avenue to retain African identity while comprehending modern societal challenges.
Season 3 promises engaging discussions led by notable personalities like Tbose and Mapaseka Mokwele, with over two decades of marriage, anchoring the topic of Black Love. Accompanied by renowned spiritual teacher Gogo Skhotheni, radio personality Felix Hlophe, and television personality Mablerh, they will explore the dimensions of Black Love, expressions of love within the black community, role models in the conversation of love, indigenous love languages, queer love, and perceptions of dating outside one’s race.
In another crucial discussion on Black Storytelling, influential figures in the entertainment industry like Warren Masdemola, Desire Markgraaf, Sello Maake ka Ncube, and Dudu Busani will shed light on the representation of black stories, potential progress or regress, stereotyping, cultural appropriation, and the broader spectrum of African narratives.
The first two episodes of Season 3 will be chaired by Bonginkosi Dlamini (Zola 7), Eugene Khoza, Sibu Mabena, and Gerald Mwandiambira, focusing on Black Success. These episodes will delve into defining success within African communities, perceptions of African products and services, nurturing black success, collective community success, and the sense of expectation accompanying black excellence.
