His YouTube channel had 23,000 subscribers and was bringing in up to R60,000 a month. Then YouTube removed it without warning.
Retired US Army Colonel Chris Wyatt sits down with Rob for a wide-ranging conversation about censorship, free speech, South Africa, politics, rugby, faith, radical Islam, and the events that transformed his online career.
Wyatt explains how his South Africa-focused channel grew from almost nothing to 23,000 subscribers in four months, why YouTube removed the channel, how he rebuilt his audience, and why he believes political pressure and platform control threaten independent voices.
The conversation also explores why an American military officer became deeply connected to South Africa, his decades-long relationship with the country, his political outlook, his work covering African affairs, and the future of his media platform.
You also get his views on South Africa’s political direction, the importance of elections, his experiences with censorship, and why thousands of South Africans continue turning up to meet him across the country.
