Madlanga Commission Shocks, Bobi Wine Suppressed, SA Excluded from G20

Описание: In this powerful and unfiltered episode of Break It Down, I sit down with two brilliant political thinkers — Ncedisa Mpemnyama and Mindisi Gladile — to unpack some of the most urgent and controversial political developments shaping South Africa and the African continent today.

We begin with a deep dive into the Madlanga Commission, exploring the shocking revelations made by several witnesses. We break down what these testimonies mean for accountability, transparency, and the future of governance in South Africa.

From there, we broaden the lens to look at a critical continental trend: African leaders who refuse to leave office, even at extremely advanced ages. We explore how this affects democracy, youth participation, economic development, and the rising frustration of Africa’s young majority.

A major focus of the conversation is Uganda, where opposition leader Bobi Wine continues to face systematic intimidation, suppression, and political persecution. We look at what his struggle represents for African democracy as a whole, and why younger movements are being treated as threats instead of the future.

We also unpack the geopolitical tension behind the United States’ exclusion of South Africa from the G20 Leaders’ Summit, what this signals for international relations, and what it means for South Africa’s place in global politics.

Finally, we take a close look at the Coloured Lives Matter movement driven by the Patriotic Alliance. We discuss its origins, political motivations, community frustrations, and the deeper racial and socio-economic tensions it exposes in South Africa.

This is one of the most layered and honest conversations we’ve had — touching on governance, identity, democracy, and the future of African politics.

If you care about where South Africa and the continent are heading, this episode is essential.
