The First Lady of Germiston "The 1st Ruling: Embrace the Chaos"

Loading player...
Welcome to a shockingly empowering new podcast series, "The First Lady of Germiston: Life According to the Chaotic Order of Viv Vermaak".

Viv is an award-winning spokesperson and acclaimed journalist with a heightened sense of existence, with a raw, truthful, and poetic approach to living life while embracing the chaos that surrounds you.

In this mini-series, I seek to expose life, according to the chaotic order that Viv permeates, as she breaks open linear think-pieces like race, liberalism, reverse ubuntu, group-think, culture, and the literal sparks of the universe around us.

In episode 1, we take quite a road trip. Starting from the rooftop view of Germiston, Viv then takes me on a search for the most infamous export of this legacy town, that's taken a new age beating. A ride to the house of serial killer Daisy de Melker.

Daisy Louisa C. de Melker, simply known as Daisy de Melker, was a South African nurse who poisoned two husbands with strychnine for their life insurance money; she also poisoned her only son with arsenic for reasons that are still unclear.

Driving around in her classic '69 Chevrolet Impala, we run through Viv's world views of equality, redefining racism, the decentralization of urban and suburban jungles to crime syndications, and the disempowerment of oneself through order within chaos.

Enjoy the ride!
