This week on the Good Things Guy podcast, Brent Lindeque chats with a lawyer who majors in the South African Constitution. The biggest thing Brent has learnt about the current “Land expropriation without compensation” debate is that many South Africans have NO IDEA how our Constitution works, or what our Constitution is actually about. So join him as he asks the questions that we need answers to and tries to unpack the current uncertainty in SA. There are so many myths and opinions that are somehow becoming facts. Can someone knock on your door and take your land? Would you still have to pay for your bond if your land gets taken? Can you expropriate your land back if someone "expropriates" it from you? Is there a "list" of farms that are being targeted? Is your land actually up for grabs or is it just all fear-mongering for electioneering purposes? So join him as he asks the questions that we need answers to and tries to unpack the current uncertainty in South Africa.

In this episode we're in conversation with Brent Lindeque. We all know him as The Good Things Guy. He's proudly South African and regularly featured in the media, spreading good news about South Africa and ordinary South Africans doing extraordinary things in their communities. He shares his story of becoming The Good Things Guy with us and tells us how he turned an idea and a passion into a business. We chat about the power of consistency and the fact that success never happens overnight. We talk about how nothing is real on social media and how influencers should treat their craft as a job. Watch two geriatric millennials discuss BeReal and hear Brent's thoughts on South Africa's legislation on influencer marketing.
