“Society is not static, it is dynamic,” says Shaka when talking about the worldwide protests for racial equality that started in the United States and spread to different parts of the world. He also says that the United States is the most “racially conscious country in the world,” and not the most racist country, as some of his social media followers characterize it.

Shaka: Extra Time is a weekly show (every Tuesday at 16:30 UTC) on the Straight Talk Africa Facebook page, where viewers and social media followers ask the popular Straight Talk Africa host, Shaka Ssali, questions about politics in Africa. Paul Ndiho hosts the show.
