PODCAST: ‘Sharp Sharp’ – eGoli’s meltdown

Zukile Majova and Rob Rose dig into a week of high political drama as President Cyril Ramaphosa files his affidavit arguing why the Phala Phala impeachment report should be set aside – and why the whole saga looks set to drag well past the November election. The ANC elders are breaking ranks, caretaker presidents are circling, and the succession whispers are getting louder.

Then: Joburg. Africa’s richest city is effectively bankrupt, its roads are disintegrating, and the mayor wants to hire more executives to oversee the chaos. Rob and Zuks debate whether anyone – Helen Zille included – can actually fix a city that needs a miracle.

And Bafana Bafana head to the World Cup. Can they finally escape the group stage? Rob and Zuks dare to hope.
