Democracy Unplugged

Zimbabwe is burning, so the Nando's Burning Platform with Justice Malala naturally starts there. The dynamics at play in Zim right now are something South Africans needs to take notice of, just as much as the turmoil at the SABC. Mandela's legacy, the relevance of small parties in the elections, Justice covers it all.

The Burning Platform fired up by Nando's gets July off to a fiery start. Justice takes stock of the Tshwane uprisings and what it means to the ANC. Zuma's R7.8 million payback amount naturally comes into question, but who will pay this? Gupta gumption, can the ANC ever be 'opposition' and of course, oh dear King Hlaudi and his pet project the SABC. Justice is as unstoppable as ever.

As Tshwane unravels, all we can do is turn to Justice Malala for the latest Burning Platform presented by Nando's. What started the unrest? Who started the unrest? What is the extent of ANC involvement here? Loyiso Nkohla jumps ship to the DA, which is oddly ironic. Political no-go zones and a Gupta Bank, South Africa is just never a dull place.
