In this episode, we discuss the June 30 anti-illegal immigration protests and why the much-anticipated nationwide shutdown failed to materialise on the scale many expected.
We also unpack John Steenhuisen’s removal as the DA’s Agriculture Minister, his explosive public criticism of the party’s new leadership, and what it could mean for the DA going forward.



Great debate, with a golden thread of classical liberalism, allowing points of view to differ and allowing counter-arguments to be heard and respected. So much food for thought.
