  • Mandy Weiner

    Stand-in presenter Ismail introduces guest in such a stressful way that it is not possible to listen what he is say but rather how he is saying it, it’s embarrassing.

  • Segments and full show in single feed

    The one issue I have is that they publish snippets of the show per topic.. and occasionally the entire show or parts that include other parts.

    These repeats annoy me a lot. Guys stick to one strat.. full show or topic based snippets.. but not both in one feed!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ad hoc committee wraps up testimonies
Q: What was the mandate of this ad hoc committee, and do you believe it was a success?
The committee was tasked with investigating corruption allegations within the SAPS and the broader criminal justice system; while the final report was not yet completed, there has been substantial uncovering of issues, and the work set the stage for ongoing oversight and follow-ups.
Book of the week: Liberation and Corruption: Why Freedom Movements Fail
Q: What role do institutions play in preventing corruption?
Independent media, a robust judiciary, and active civil society are crucial for accountability and for preventing the entrenchment of corruption when leaders come to power.
Book of the week: Liberation and Corruption: Why Freedom Movements Fail
Q: Are there movements that have avoided corruption after gaining independence?
Very few; the pattern is widespread and not limited to any one country, though some places like Botswana have remained relatively less corrupt compared to others.
Book of the week: Liberation and Corruption: Why Freedom Movements Fail
Q: Why do liberation movements often betray their principles after coming into power?
Power creates new incentives and opportunities for corruption; leaders who fought against oppression may end up adopting the same systems they once opposed, leading to compromised ideals.
Consumer inflation dropped to 3,0% in February from 3,5% in January
Q: Tell us about what drove the 3% inflation.
The guest points to a base effect from medical aid increases that happened earlier in the year, along with a significant drop in fuel prices, and a deceleration in food inflation, as key forces behind February's 3% reading. He also notes that some medical aid firms may raise rates later in the year, which could lift the health insurance component again.
