In the latest edition of Democracy Unplugged, three arch-capitalists get together to discuss the South African economy, social class, global influences, politics and job creation. Dr. Jonathan Witt, who is outspoken on social media about many issues; media man Kanthan Pillay, founder of The Capitalist Party and Phumlani Majozi, social commentator and author of Lessons From Past Heroes agree and disagree on many of the most controversial issues of the moment. Well-known members of the audience also challenged them and asked very direct questions like “who will you vote for and who should poor black South Africans vote for in May 2024?”. The discussion is anything but boring and predictable

The very different worlds of Douglas Murray, Professor Ongopotse JJ Tabane and Gareth Cliff come together for this conversation to find common ground on important matters like corruption, international credibility and leadership. The conversation also led to disagreement on some issues with overall respect for open dialogue and critical thinking we would all like to see more of.

Douglas Murray is the best-selling author of several seminal works about the seismic changes in European affairs and Western Civilization and an insightful speaker on many of the most controversial issues of the moment. He is a lightning-rod for the most important (and often divisive) matters of public interest, including Israel vs Gaza; trans rights in America; racial politics; free speech and international relations. Professor JJ Tabane (host of “Power to Truth” on eNCA) and Gareth Cliff (co-founder of CliffCentral and Podcast Party ) are both seasoned radio and television personalities known for their unapologetic commentary.
