PRIMEDIA BROADCASTING
About this episode

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Tshidi Madia, Associate Political Editor at EWN, about key political stories making headlines. They reflect on the passing of former DA chief whip and ambassador Douglas Gibson, remembered for his sharp political insight and recent Politricking interview on leadership and party dynamics. Tshidi also unpacks President Cyril Ramaphosa’s upcoming meeting with Donald Trump, set against the backdrop of the US controversially accepting white Afrikaners as refugees. They closes with insights from Ekurhuleni Mayor Nkosindiphile Doctor Xhakaza’s Politricking appearance, where he discusses surviving a motion of no confidence, his relationship with the EFF, and coalition prospects ahead of the next municipal elections.
