Description

Money, sex, identity, mental health, relationships, culture and more -- nothing is off-limits in “Don’t Hold Back”, the award-winning video podcast hosted by Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba. Imagine if there were a place where everyone could speak honestly about the things we often keep quiet. That’s what Don’t Hold Back is all about! South Africans under 35 talk about everything from navigating identity, social pressures, and mental health, to dealing with toxic relationships, finances and family expectations. Life feels lighter when you can listen and learn from other people’s stories. Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba is a South African content creator, bestselling author and HIV activist. Join her as she chats — and shares a snack — with a different guest in each episode. Don’t Hold Back has received international and local recognition, including: - Bronze Winner – 2023 Anthem Awards (Education, Art & Culture / Podcast or Audio) - Finalist – 2023 New York Festivals Radio Awards - Shortlisted – 2023 Publisher Podcast Awards (Best Health & Wellbeing Podcast) - Finalist – 2023 AIB Awards (Presenter of the Year: Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba) - Spotlight of the Year (Podcast) – 2023 African Podcast and Voice Awards - Gold Winner – 2024 South African Podcasting Awards (Wellness & Relationships) This podcast is a collaboration between DW, Jacaranda FM and East Coast Radio.
