About this episode

Kanthan and Jonathan discuss the implications of the Jeffrey Epstein files and John Steenhuisen's political future in South Africa.

Kanthan and Jonathan push back on the hysteria around the Jeffrey Epstein files, arguing that the saga is far less consequential than many claim. They then turn to John Steenhuisen’s fall from grace, unpacking what it means for his political future and the knock-on effects for the DA. The episode closes with a hard look at the prospects of South Africa’s most prominent political parties and who is actually positioned to survive the next electoral cycle.
