Media Focus on Africa (MFA) teamed up with the cast and crew of a Vioja Mahakamani with the idea of using the popular series to expose audiences to information about incitement to violence with antidotes to help “inoculate” (vaccinate) them against it using comedy. In other words, by showing audiences 1) the political incentives for leaders that engage in inciting speech, 2) how speakers manipulate audiences in order to incite violence, 3) the consequences for individuals engaging in inciting speech or in violence, and 4) how love and forgiveness can serve as countermeasures to hateful and dangerous speech, the audience members will become more skeptical when they hear dangerous speech, more aware of the harm it can do, and more willing to accept personal responsibility for actions arising from inciting speech. The messages were delivered in the usual Vioja Mahakamani witty and very funny way but still remained serious. Learn more here: https://mediafocusonafrica.org/?proje...
