Episode Details

Former deputy finance minister Mcebisi Jonas delivers a fiery warning: foreign-backed groups are weaponizing fear and violence against African migrants in South Africa, exploiting the government’s inaction to fuel division. With six hundred million rand diverted to quell unrest, Jonas exposes how real economic failures—not immigrants—are at the heart of the crisis. He warns that identity politics, stoked by social media and hidden funders, is tearing society apart, turning neighbors into enemies. Jonas calls for courage and unity, urging a return to inclusive policies that reject scapegoating and build a stronger, more equitable democracy.
