This Is Politics SA Podcast

This Is Politics is the home of unfiltered conversations about power, people, and South Africa’s future.

Hosted by Justice Malala, best-selling author, political analyst, columnist, and former newspaper editor, alongside Mondli Makhanya, one of South Africa’s most respected editors and political commentators, the podcast cuts through noise, spin, and slogans to focus on what really matters.

Drawing on decades of experience in newsrooms and the corridors of power, Justice and Mondli engage in honest, unscripted conversations about politics, the economy, and the forces shaping the country. Their sharp insight, strong chemistry, and willingness to challenge each other make complex issues accessible and compelling.

No scripts. No talking points. Just clarity, context, and conviction.

If you’re tired of shallow takes and confusing headlines, This Is Politics is where serious conversation lives.
