In this episode of This Is Politics South Africa, Justice Malala and Mondli Makhanya examine the growing fracture between the ANC and the South African Communist Party, placing it in historical context and questioning whether the split has real political consequences. The discussion also turns to corruption within the police, and what it reveals about the state of governance and accountability in South Africa. With a focus on analysis rather than noise, the episode explores whether these developments signal meaningful change or simply the continuation of a deeper systemic decline.
