Podcast Addict519 days agoElsa- Great show!
Thank you for providing such incisive political commentary. Your show consistently cuts through official narratives and brings to light the contradictions within government policies, party politics, and civil society discourse. By unpacking these tensions with clarity and courage, you create a space where the public can critically examine the gap between political promises and lived realities, while also holding leaders accountable for the systemic failures that continue to shape South Africa.
