    Gen Z Protests In South Africa: Could We Be Next? | Politically Aweh Podcast

    We sat down with Irfaan Mangera, Y20 spokesperson and seasoned youth wrangler, to unpack why the G20 felt like a group project where the grownups didn’t read the brief. We get into youth rage, protest culture, anime flags taking over parliaments, and why South African leaders still act shocked when young people hit the streets. It seems African leaders keep missing the point for the continent's young people.  This podcast is a companion series to our YouTube comedy explainer videos about South African and international current affairs.

    Angry & Unserious: Why Africans Are Ungovernable | Politically Aweh Podcast

    Comedian and activist Justine Wanda joins PA to unpack African youth anger, satire’s role in politics and why we’re laughing through the chaos. We get into everything: protests over bread and pads, politicians swapping corruption tips, and why Africans cope by laughing so we don’t lose our minds. Justine speaks on Kenya’s youth-led resistance, Tanzania’s fear-fuelled silence, Uganda’s forever elections and the continent’s national daddy issues.  Plus why she thinks the youth should unionise and make protesting an official job since no one’s hiring anyway!

    SA Foreign Policy Chief on Unprecedented Geopolitics & Hosting The G20 | Politically Aweh Podcast

    Zane Dangor is South Africa’s foreign policy boss and he joins us to unpack Gaza, Ukraine, the UN, the US tariff drama and what SA is actually doing on the world stage. This episode was recorded in August 2025, right in the middle of the year’s geopolitical chaos. From missile scares to trade tantrums, Zane breaks down how SA navigates global crises with nothing but international law and a lot of middle power audacity. We get into Gaza, Ukraine, BRICs, the UN, Trump’s bullying tactics and the G20, all in classic PA fashion: less diplomatic fluff, more real talk.

    This Is The Darkest Online Crisis South Africa Has Ever Faced | Politically Aweh Podcast

    In this raw conversation, social media Law Expert Emma Sadleir reveals the terrifying reality behind anonymous WhatsApp channels, deepfakes, and sextortion targeting South African youth. Emma recently won TWO court orders against Meta in one week, forcing them to hand over the identities of perpetrators hiding behind anonymous accounts. She breaks down the gendered nature of online harm, explains why SA police are "wholly ill-equipped" to handle these cases, and shares which app she'd delete forever (hint: it's not the one you'd expect).  Plus, she reveals why pornography as sex education is creating a generation of misogynistic behavior and what we can do about it. Digital violence is an extension of gender-based violence, and we all have a role to play in protecting our children and holding perpetrators accountable. If you or someone you know is affected by gender-based violence, hope and help are within reach.  You are not alone—there are people, communities, and services ready to help.

    Wait... Did He Just Praise The EFF? | Politically Aweh Podcast

    Songezo Zibi joined us back in August at The Gathering 2025 right when Rise Mzansi, GOOD and BOSA were flirting with the idea of a political merger. We talked about Parliament’s chaotic economy, Scopa’s mission to follow the trail of taxpayer’s money, and what happens when world leaders like Trump are out here skipping G20 invites. It’s an unfiltered, funny and frightening look at the machinery that keeps South Africa working (or at least pretending to do so).

    She's BEEN Exposing SA's Underworld | Politically Aweh Podcast

    Caryn Dolley accidentally became an investigative journalist and now exposes SA's organised crime syndicates while dodging death threats.  KG sits down with Caryn to unpack the absolute chaos that is South Africa's organised crime landscape. It's not just happening "somewhere else" - it's in your backyard, your municipality, and probably in that dodgy tender your cousin's neighbour's brother scored. ​​Caryn breaks down how deep the rot goes, why journalists like her wake up to threats, and what it actually costs to tell the truth in a country where powerful people really, really don't want you to.  You'll probably finish it feeling slightly more paranoid than when you started. But hey, informed anxiety is still better than blissful ignorance, right?  This podcast is a companion series to our YouTube comedy explainer videos about South African and international current affairs.

    Does SA’s Biggest News Site Hit Harder on Black Leaders? News24 Editor Tells All | Politically Aweh Podcast

    We ask Adriaan Basson if the media can survive being broke, Big Tech eating advertising money and consumers crying over paywalls.  Politicians hate him, trolls love to roast him, and even his mom gets upset on his behalf. We sat down with Adriaan Basson, editor of News24, to talk about the messy reality of South African journalism. From the glory days of three-paper Sundays to the Big Tech takeover. We also get into the juicy stuff: Gupta leaks, bribe offers, why News24 headlines hit harder on black leaders, and whether Gavin Watson faked his death to go live on a remote beach! Stay until the end for fake news aunties, AI conspiracies, and why playing music to grapes might make your wine taste better.
