About this listen

What happens when community becomes infrastructure? In this episode, Thabiso ‘Blak’ Mashaba, Cultural Economist and co-founder of These Hands GSSE joins us to unpack what it truly means to decentralize development. From the rural landscapes of Botswana to coastal communities in New Zealand, Thabiso shares how community-led innovation centers are reshaping our understanding of infresatructure, policy, and impact.

Today we talk about designing with—not for—communities, and what it takes to build trust, slowness, and deep ownership into the heart of development work.

This conversation is an invitation to rethink where innovation lives, who holds the knowledge, and how African futures are being shaped collaboratively
