Description

In this episode, Sinead and Alex wade into the wonderfully messy world of South African politics, where historical memory collides with present-day power plays.

From whispered asylum policies for white Afrikaners to the ANC’s crumbling crown, they unpack how a country built on apartheid ghosts is now haunted by something even trickier: the future.

Race, power, nostalgia, geopolitics: it’s all here, and yes, it’s as chaotic as it sounds.
