About

Brett and TK review the last 12 months to gain an understanding of the political landscape prior to the lockdown. How has the ANC performed since the elections? Why is the EFF losing relevance? Then they delve into the ANC’s handling of the current pandemic while asking the question: Can one set of policies work in a country with townships and golf estates? --- Brett Thompson is the co-creator of Digital Discourse ZA, and a long-time animal advocate.
