Naked Truths, Political Drama and the Future of a Nation... Mandy Wiener Spills on “The Deal”
Update: 2025-11-12
Description
This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I sit down with one of South Africa’s most respected journalists and authors, Mandy Wiener, to talk about her brand-new book, The Deal.
It’s the real story behind the political negotiations that followed the 2024 elections, when South Africa stood on the edge of change. Mandy takes us behind the scenes... from private homes to secret meetings, where power, pressure and personality shaped the future of our democracy.
We chat about what it was like sitting down with the President, what had to be removed from the book before it went to print, and yes… why Gayton McKenzie was running around his house naked.
It’s smart, insightful and even funny.
