What if South Africa’s most controversial politicians don’t believe their own public rhetoric?
In this conversation, Rob Hersov and Byron Shepherd unpack what politicians say in public, what they believe in private, and why South Africa’s biggest policy debates often miss the real problems.
From expropriation without compensation and firearm ownership to mining, industrial decline, state corruption, energy policy, and the future of Johannesburg, this discussion challenges narratives from across the political spectrum.
They examine the gap between political messaging and reality, the economic consequences of bad policy, and why many South Africans across party lines share the same concerns despite proposing very different solutions.
Topics include:
• MK Party and EFF rhetoric
• Expropriation without compensation
• South Africa’s mining industry
• Deindustrialisation and job losses
• Firearm ownership and self-defence
• Nuclear energy and the Zuma years
• ANC corruption and cadre deployment
• Johannesburg’s decline
• Starlink and foreign investment
• The future of South Africa
