His secret sauce? Healthy scepticism, a quality in short supply right now as a suddenly adoring media fuels the euphoria of a GNU honeymoon. Mpofu-Walsh spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh chats with Prince Mashele about Operation Dudula, Eskom Crisis, Cyril Ramaphosa, EFF Parliament, 2024 Election

Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh chats with Lukhone Mnguni about loadshedding, South Africa's governance crisis, the 55th ANC National Conference, and SONA

A section 89 independent panel had arrived at the conclusion that, on the face of it, President Cyril Ramaphosa has an impeachment case to answer. For a simple, 10-minute EXPLAINER of what they said - in case you missed it - check out the previous episode of In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser (episode 140 - Is Ramaphosa a fatally wounded buffalo? Here's a quickie)For a wider conversation about the issue and the implications for our democracy, beyond the narrow legal issues, check out my conversation with Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh on his platform SMWX on YouTube ( https://youtu.be/fXBZzb1zLOA) In this episode, I explain the legal strategy of Ramaphosa's lawyers in taking the section 89 panel's recommendation on review. The President has an excellent legal team, and their strategy is good and interesting. My main aims are to explain why and how Ramaphosa's legal strategy is not unanswerable, firstly, and why there are both political and legal complexities here, secondly, that result from design flaws when it comes to the impeachment process itself- an originating reality neither the President's lawyers nor the section 89 panel are responsible for. In other words, along the way, in this podcast, I describe the tension between squarely political and squarely legal questions. Enjoy.

Sizwe Mpofu Walsh and Dudu Mmeti chat about South Africa's political crisis and the conference for democratic renewal

Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh and I jointly hosted each other in a fun, experimental set-up where I appeared on his fantastic YouTube channel, and that in turn served also as the recording of this episode of In The Ring. We explored two framing questions about the constitution: first, is the vision for the country that is contained in the constitution the right vision for an ideal South Africa? Secondly, would changes to the constitutional text make any difference in helping us achieve a more just South Africa?These proved to be complex questions that gave rise to some consensus but also much disagreement, which we teased out. We have different views about how to read the constitution, and different views about the actual vision as expressed within the constitution.Along the way we debated whether the drafters of the constitutional text were bold and explicit enough about what a racially just society looks like.The discussion about modifying the constitutional text also gave rise to interesting dialogue. I am deeply sceptical about the extent to which a differently crafted constitution - or a modified version of the current text - could help us overcome our governance weaknesses within the state. Sizwe in turn tried to persuade me that there could be some important causal effects that may flow from radically rethinking what the constitution says. Who was more persuasive? Or is the quasi-equilibrium note we ended on the most reasonable view to take (for now)?You be the judge. Enjoy this episode. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser.

Recording of a book discussion on The New Apartheid by Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh held by the Wits Postgraduate Book Club. Panelists: Mr Bongani Mahlangu Ms. Busisiwe Seabe

One of the listeners of In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser enjoyed the episode in which I engaged Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh on his book The New Apartheid and left the following generous comment on my Instagram account, "Your analysis of Sizwe's book was amazing. Perhaps it would be great for you to give us tips on how you read and subsequently analyse and or synthesise a book's key arguments...in a future instalment of your podcast."My producer and I listen to your engagement and feedback continuously. Because the podcast belongs to us as a community, and not just to me as the host. SO .. in this episode I tackle the question, "How should I read a book?" I asked my good friend, and one of the country's best  minds, Professor Pumla Gqola, a brilliant feminist writer and scholar, to help me tackle this question so that we can help many more people fall in love with the magic of books, and the joy of reading. 

Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh argues in his latest book that apartheid did not die in 1994 but had, instead, been privatised. In a substantive, theoretically rich, introduction chapter, he puzzles through conceptual analysis to justify his resuscitation of the dreaded apartheid-framework. Mindful of the fact that life before 1994 was, in obvious respects, uniquely evil under apartheid, the philosphical work in the introduction is important to avoid any hasty criticism about the work's main thesis. The subsequent middle chapters are empirically rich premises spanning many themes: space, law, wealth, technology, punishment. These chapters constitute the thick factual basis of the claim that apartheid has been privatised.The book ends with an admirable set of reflections on the limitations of the work, possibilities for future research, and a more expansive,and at times literary summary of the author's feelings, to complement the introduction.In this episode of In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser, I engaged Sizwe in very close detail about this work. Where we agree (often deeply), I honoured and underscored what, in my view, is wonderfully provocative and cogent about the arguments. And, at other times, I went after some of the weaknesses, in my view, of aspects of the middle chapters in particular. I hope listeners of the podcast enjoy this dialogue between us, and rush out to buy a copy of this excellent second book by one of our most thoughtful early career scholars and commentators to have emerged in recent years. 

Author and activist Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh says his new book The New Apartheid, explores a more deep-rooted crisis and define the current crisis that confronts South Africa. The New Apartheid also explores the concept that apartheid in South Africa never died but was privatised instead.

South Africa's story is often presented as a triumph of new over old, but while formal apartheid was abolished decades ago, stark and distressing similarities persist. In this episode of The Small Print, Bronwyn speaks to Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh about his latest book, “The New Apartheid”, in which he explores the edifice of systemic racial oppression that continues to thrive, despite or even because of our democratic system.

President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered his fifth SONA address on Thursday 11th Feb. Did the speech live up to expectations? Did Ramaphosa convince the nation of a sound plan to tackle multiple national crises?
