Inclusion as Democracy: Race, Migration, and Belonging with Koketso Moeti

Inclusion as Democracy: Race, Migration, and Belonging with Koketso Moeti

In the fourth episode of Season 3 of the Thank You Democracy Podcast, we sat down with Koketso Moeti to discuss the role of race and belonging in shaping participation, how migration and exclusion test the boundaries of democratic practice, and why centering marginalized voices is essential to the renewal of democracy everywhere.

Koketso Moeti is a South African activist and the founder of amandla.mobi, a civic engagement platform that harnesses mobile technology to organize collective action among marginalized communities. Often described as one of the most innovative voices in African civic tech, Koketso has spent over a decade building tools that allow low-income women, migrants, and other excluded groups to make their voices heard in policymaking. From advising the World Economic Forum to serving as an inaugural Obama Foundation Fellow and a Kettering Foundation Global Fellow, Koketso’s journey bridges grassroots activism and global thought leadership. Through amandla.mobi, she has mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to challenge unjust evictions, demand accountability from telecommunications companies, and push back against systemic inequality in South Africa.

To learn more about Koketso’s journey and perspective, listen to this episode.
