Stephen Sackur is in Cape Town to speak to political cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro (Zapiro). Can satire work in a country still recovering from the prolonged trauma of apartheid?

Arguably South Africa's most famous cartoonist is Zapiro, whose real name is Jonathan Shapiro. His cartoons have the ability to make us laugh but also to make us cringe and feel uncomfortable as he snipes at our politicians, including international figures, and, as he says, even in his crazy mind he couldn't invent a country with our curious goings on. Zapiro has just released his 27th annual collection called It's Not How It Looks and it makes for fascinating browsing.

Molweni! Welcome to Part 3 of my epic road trip across beautiful South Africa. In this episode, we pick up where I left off in Part 2, leaving local bungy jumpers at Bloukrans Bridge on my way to Port Elizabeth. But not long after I hit the N2 national highway I made a scheduled stop at one of South Africa's rare gems. The exquisite Tsitsikamma National Park is nestled along the southern coast of South Africa and forms part of the Garden Route National Park. With dramatic coastlines of towering mountains meeting the pulsating tides of the warmer Indian Ocean, this is truly a beautiful place. So, I decided to get out of my car and take a quick hike to explore some of the raw natural scenery. After my hike, I got back into my car and continued towards Port Elizabeth, almost 200km away along the East coast. After a scenic drive, I arrived at my hostel late in the afternoon and after a long day of hiking and driving, I had an early night and decided to take Port Elizabeth by storm the next day. Port Elizabeth is a quaint city with friendly people and a beautiful coastline. It gets rather windy in these parts I am told, so I wore a hat so I wouldn't have a bad hair day!     INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT PORT ELIZABETH Port Elizabeth is in the Nelson Mandela Bay municipal area. It's actually South Africa's second largest city – with regards to its area at least. If you go by the population count – 1.2 million, it's the 5th largest city in the country. The city is nicknamed “PE” by South Africans and is also known as ‘the Friendly City'. The city has 40 km of unspoiled coastline (consisting mostly of beaches). Forget about Route 66 – PE has something they call ‘Route 67'. Spread out around PE, you can experience a collection of 67 artworks symbolising Nelson Mandela's 67 years of work. Although my time in PE was short and sweet, I still managed to come away with a good feeling about the city and its people. In the afternoon I handed my trusty steed (Toyota Corolla) back to the car hire shop and jumped on a flight headed for Durban. Yes, I know that flying is technically ‘cheating' on a road trip, but the distance from PE to Durban is almost 1,000km/12-hour drive. My time here is short, so I made the decision to cut out a few cities and towns along the coast to instead have more time for the last bit towards Johannesburg – and to play around in Durban. And it turned out to be a good decision.   DURBAN, HOME OF THE ZULU I landed at King Shaka International Airport just outside of Durban in the evening, jumped in my hired car (another Toyota Corolla), and made my way to my hostel in the city. Everyone here dispenses with friendly reminders and warnings about driving cars in South Africa at night. For instance, a few people told me that if I get to a red robot (they call traffic lights ‘robots' here for some reason) at night, and if nobody is around, I should just drive through. Why? Because hijacking is common in South Africa, and when your car is stationary at a red light is when potential hijackers take chances. With that sobering thought, I cautiously entered the city of Durban - but with more excitement than intimidation. While on the plane, I read that Durban is considered South Africa's ‘middle child', with Johannesburg being ambitious and soulful, and Cape Town is picture-perfect and the apple of everyone's eye, and Durban, despite many charms, is often overlooked by tourists.  Durban, the biggest city in the KwaZulu-Natal province and the 3rd largest city in South Africa, is situated on the Eastern coast of the country. It is a vibrant, multicultural city and home to the largest container port in Africa. With a population of almost 3.4 million people in the metro area, Durban is also home to the largest population of Indian people outside of India.  KwaZulu-Natal is home to Zululand, a traditional region in the north-eastern section of present-day KwaZulu-Natal (formerly Natal) province. It is the home of the Zulu people and is the site of their 19th-century kingdom.  Durban is also home to the majestic Moses Mabhida Stadium, the city's iconic soccer stadium built for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, dominates the Durban skyline from afar. The stadium has a capacity for 56,000 people (expandable up to 85,000) and the most recognisable thing about this stadium is the arch. It's a 350-meter (1,148 ft) long arch that holds up the roof of the stadium. The top of the arch rises to 106 meters (348 ft) above the pitch. They offer a lot of different attractions when you visit: stadium tours, Segway tours, adventure walks (where you walk up to the top of the arch), and they also have The Big Rush Big Swing and the Sky Car tram that takes you to the top of the icon rooftop arch of the stadium.    ROOFTOP CHATS WITH A VIEW After a cup of coffee, I jumped in the Sky Car and made my way to the summit. Here, I got to chat more with my guide, Nkonzo. Perched at the top of the stadium arch overlooking the vast Indian Ocean and sprawling city of Durban, Nkonzo tells me about how far his city has come in the last 10 years. But there are still many things that require further development. As a good example, Nkenzo mentions that the former president, Jacob Zuma was removed from power without violence in the street.   POLARISING POLITICS Let me tell you a bit about Jacob Zuma, the former president of South Africa, who was forced to resign his presidency under a cloud of corruption and a lengthy rape trial. In fact, he resigned just a few weeks before I recorded this podcast episode.  A deeply polarising figure of South African politics, he was once known as ‘the people's president' but for many, Jacob Zuma's name has now become synonymous with the word “corruption”. As a teenager, he joined the ANC (African National Congress) and spent ten years as a political prisoner on Robben Island, alongside Nelson Mandela. After his release, he rose through the ranks of the ANC's military wing, Umkhonto weSizwe (Spear of the Nation). He was a part of the negotiations that brought the end of Apartheid in 1994. In 1999, he became Deputy President of the ANC but was soon kicked out of office by then-president Thabo Mbeki over allegations of corruption in 2005. These charges were later dropped, and like any comeback kid, he eventually became president of South Africa only four years later in 2009. But his presidency was not without a number of high-profile scandals. In 2016, while Zuma was still president of South Africa, the High Court ruled that he should face corruption charges over his involvement in a secret government arms deal back in 1999. He also faced corruption charges over his relationship with the politically shady and powerful Gupta family. The Guptas are a wealthy Indian-born family with numerous business interests in South Africa, forming a clandestine business empire spanning computer equipment, media, and mining. The Gupta's are just as synonymous with corruption and have been the focus of widespread scrutiny because of their close ties to Jacob Zuma during his presidency. They were accused of having a big influence over politics in South Africa, and a lot of that was through Jacob Zuma.   During his 8-year rule as president of the newfound democracy of South Africa, it is estimated to have cost the South African economy R1 trillion (approximately $60 billion) in corruption and illicit dealings, and to this day he is still going in and out of court to face these charges.   PRESIDENT AND... RAPIST? In 2005, Zuma was charged with raping a woman in his home and stood trial for several months in early 2006.  The woman accusing him was a girl less than half his age and a daughter of a close friend – and he knew she was HIV positive. During the trial he said that ‘she was wearing a short skirt and was asking for it'. And then he was asked if he used any protection, to which he said that he didn't. Then, he said that after having the supposedly ‘consensual' sex with the victim he took a shower to lessen his chances of contracting the virus. Yes, you read that correctly. Imagine that, this is a country battling a terrible HIV/AIDS epidemic more than any other country, and their leader says something this dumb. It showed how little he knows about the transmission of HIV/AIDS. What makes this even more outrageous is that Zuma was the Head of the National AIDS Program when he was deputy president. This stupidity made South Africa's most famous political cartoonist, Zapiro, sketch a showerhead over Zuma's head to illustrate just how stupid this was. From then on, Zuma was depicted like this in every single Zapiro cartoon - even to this day.  Although he ended up getting acquitted from the rape charges, many people see this as blatant injustice. But, over the next few years the mounting corruption charges against him became too much for his own party, which he ‘served' for 60 years, and so they began nudging him out of office.    ZUMA MUST FALL For weeks he defied those orders, showing no indication that he will resign which further infuriated the already-angered public. But sanity prevailed soon enough, and Zuma got his marching orders – a few weeks before my visit to Durban. Actually, the day before my visit the Director of Public Prosecutions announced that Zuma was facing prosecution for 18 charges of corruption, including more than 700 counts of fraud, racketeering, and money laundering. So, as you can imagine this was all over the news when I was in Durban. And everyone was speculating if Zuma would go to jail. The public made their opinions known with the formation of the Zuma Must Fall campaign which garnered not only national but global attention.   BACK TO THE ROOF, WITH A VIEW OF THE FUTURE Now that the political dust has somewhat settled (although Zuma is still being summoned to courtrooms to face corruption charges), locals like Nkonzo are trying to make sense of it all, and how the country needs to surge forward rather than dwell on the past. He tells me South Africa is a country that still has its challenges. But what does that look like on an individual level?  Nkonzo is Zulu, the largest indigenous tribe in the country with Zulu being the most common language spoken as a first language by 23% of South Africans (followed by Xhosa, and Afrikaans). In fact, English is only the fourth most common first language in the country but is the dominant language in government and the media. There are ten official languages in South Africa and at least thirty-five indigenous languages. “I have to be able to speak English to be able to find employment in this country. Which is difficult for many people who grow up poor without access to education. My mother-tongue is Zulu. So, in the country of my birth I have had to learn a different language in order to make my way” he says. But Nkonzo has bigger dreams than speaking to Danish nomads on top of iconic football stadiums. He hopes to dedicate his life to music as a rapper. Nkonzo goes by the stage name Dat Boy Mreppa and his rhymes are tight!  Update: After recently catching up with Nkonzo, he told me that he's in the process of recording a full album that will be released in November of this year. He also told me that he will be dropping a few singles before then so be on the lookout for one of Durban's freshest musical talents.  That's all for this episode. In the next episode, I jump off the roof of the Moses Mabhida Stadium on the world's tallest swing.

Molweni! Velkommen til del 3 af min episke roadtrip over det smukke Sydafrika. I denne episode starter vi, hvor jeg slap i del 2 og forlader de lokale bungy jumpere ved Bloukrans Bridge og fortsætter mod Port Elizabeth. Men ikke længe efter var tilbage på N2 motorvejen tog jeg en afstikker til en af ​​Sydafrikas sjældne perler. Den smukke Tsitsikamma National Park ligger på sydkysten af ​​Sydafrika og udgør en del af Garden Route National Park. Med de høje bjerge, hvor voldsomme bølger i det varmere Indiske Ocean rammer de dramatiske kystlinjer, er dette virkelig et smukt sted. Så jeg besluttede at parkere bilen og tage en hurtig vandretur for at udforske noget af den rå natur. Efter min hike fortsatte jeg de sidste 200 km mod Port Elizabeth og efter endnu en naturskøn køretur ankom jeg til mit vandrehjem sidst på eftermiddagen. Og efter en begivenhedsrig dag med vandreture og kørsel, besluttede jeg at det skulle være en tidlig aften, så jeg kunne samle energi til at udforske Port Elizabeth den næste dag. Port Elizabeth er en malerisk by med venlige mennesker og endnu en smuk kystlinje. Jeg har hørt at det kan blive ret blæsende i denne del af landet, men det var nu dejligt vejr, mens jeg var der.   INTERESSANTE FAKTA OM PORT ELIZABETH Port Elizabeth ligger i en kommune, der hedder Nelson Mandela Bay. Det er faktisk Sydafrikas næststørste by – hvis man kigger på arealet. Efter befolkningstallet – 1,2 millioner, er det den 5. største by i landet. Sydafrikanerne kaldes byen ”PE” og den er også kendt som ”Den venlige by”. Byen har 40 km uspoleret kystlinje (bestående hovedsagelig af strande). Glem alt om Route 66 – PE har noget, de kalder ”Route 67”. Spredt ud over området, kan du opleve en samling af 67 kunstværker, der symboliserer Nelson Mandelas 67 års arbejde. Selvom min tid i PE var kort, lykkedes det mig at tage derfra med en god fornemmelse af byen og dens mennesker. Om eftermiddagen afleverede jeg min trofaste følger (den lejede Toyota Corolla) tilbage og hoppede på et fly mod Durban. Ja, jeg ved, at en flyvetur teknisk er snyd på en roadtrip, men afstanden fra PE til Durban er næsten 1.000 km og vil være en 12-timers køretur. Så meget tid har jeg heller ikke til min tur, så jeg tog beslutningen om at hoppe over et par byer langs kysten for i stedet at have mere tid til den sidste del af turen op imod Johannesburg. Og det viste sig at være en god beslutning.   DURBAN I ZULU-LAND Jeg landede i King Shaka International Airport lige uden for Durban om aftenen, og sprang hurtigt i min næste lejede bil (endnu en Toyota Corolla), og kørte mod mit vandrehjem i byen. Der er mange, der har advaret mig om at køre bile i Sydafrika efter mørkets frembrud. Jeg havde også hørt, at, hvis jeg kommer til et rødt lys (en ”robot”, som de kalder trafiklys her) om aftenen, og hvis der ikke er andre, skal jeg bare køre over for rødt. Hvorfor? Fordi ”hijacking” er almindeligt i Sydafrika, og når man holder stille ved et rødt lys, er der større risiko for at det sker. Med denne tanke kørte jeg forsigtigt ind i Durban – men med mere spænding end angst. Da jeg var i flyet, læste jeg, at Durban betragtes som Sydafrikas 'mellemste barn', hvor Johannesburg er ambitiøs og fuld af sjæl, og Cape Town er smuk og alles yndling. Durban overses ofte af turister, selvom den også har meget charme. Durban ligger på østkysten og er den største by i KwaZulu-Natal-provinsen og den 3. største by i Sydafrika. Det er en pulserende, multikulturel by og hjemsted for den største containerhavn i Afrika. Med en befolkning på næsten 3,4 millioner mennesker i storbyområdet er Durban også hjemsted for den største befolkning af indere uden for Indien. KwaZulu-Natal (tidligere Natal) er hjemsted for Zululand, en traditionel region i den nordøstlige del af denne provins. Det er her Zulu-folket stammer fra, og hvor deres kongedømme var i 1800-tallet. Durban er også hjemsted for det ikoniske Moses Mabhida Stadium, der blev bygget til Fodbold-VM i 2010. Bygningen dominerer Durbans skyline fra lang afstand og har plads til 56.000 mennesker (kan udvides op til 85.000). Det mest genkendelige ved dette stadion er en 350 meter lang bue, der holder taget oppe. Buen er 106 meter over banen på det højeste sted. De tilbyder en masse forskellige attraktioner: stadionture, Segway-ture, ”adventure walks” (hvor man kan gå op til toppen af ​​buen) og så har de noget, der hedder ”The Big Rush Big Swing”, som vi kommer tilbage til senere. Der er også en Sky Car-sporvognen, der kan tage dig op på toppen af ​​stadionets tag.   EN SNAK MED UDSIGT Efter en kop kaffe hoppede jeg om bord på en Sky Car og op på toppen. Her fik jeg muligheden for at sludre med min guide, Nkonzo. Nkonzo ligger på toppen af ​​stadionbuen med udsigt over det enorme Indiske Ocean og den spredte by Durban, og fortæller mig, hvor langt hans by er kommet i de sidste 10 år. Men der er stadig mange ting, der kræver yderligere udvikling. Som et godt eksempel nævner Nkenzo, at den tidligere præsident, Jacob Zuma blev fjernet fra magten uden vold på gaden.   EN POLITIKER, DER DELER FOLK Lad mig fortælle dig lidt om Jacob Zuma, som blev tvunget til at træde tilbage efter en masse beskyldninger om korruption og en lang retssag, hvor han var beskyldt for voldtægt. Faktisk trak han sig tilbage bare et par uger før jeg indspillede denne podcast-episode. Han var en meget polariserende figur af sydafrikansk politik, selvom han engang var kendt som 'folkets præsident'. Men for mange er Jacob Zumas navn nu synonymt med ordet "korruption". Som teenager blev han en del af ANC (African National Congress) og tilbragte ti år som politisk fange på Robben Island sammen med Nelson Mandela. Efter sin frigivelse steg han i graderne i ​​ANCs militære fløj, Umkhonto weSizwe(Nationens spyd). Han var også en del af forhandlingerne, banede vejen for afskaffelsen af ​​Apartheid i 1994. I 1999 blev han vicepræsident for ANC, men blev hurtigt sparket ud af den daværende præsident Thabo Mbeki efter beskyldninger om korruption i 2005. Disse anklager blev senere henlagt, og som et andet comeback-kid, blev han udnævnt til præsident for Sydafrika fire år senere i 2009. Men hans tid ved magten var ikke uden et antal højt profilerede skandaler. I 2016, mens Zuma stadig var præsident for Sydafrika, sagde Højesteret, at han skulle sigtes for korruption på grund af hans indblanding i en hemmelig regerings-våbenaftale tilbage i 1999. Han stod også over for korruptionsanklager over sit forhold til den magtfulde Gupta-familie. Guptas er en velhavende indiskfødt familie med mange forretningsinteresser i Sydafrika, som har skabt et forretningsimperium, der spænder over computerudstyr, medier og minedrift. Gupta'erne er lige så synonyme med korruption og har været i fokus for omfattende kontrol på grund af deres nære bånd til Jacob Zuma under hans tid som præsident. De blev beskyldt for at have haft en stor indflydelse på sydafrikansk politik, og meget af det var gennem Jacob Zuma. Hans 8-årige tid som præsident anslås at have kostet den sydafrikanske økonomi en billion Rand (ca. 400 milliarder kr.) i korruption og ulovlig handel. Den dag i dag går han stadig ind og ud af retten omkring disse anklager.   PRÆSIDENT OG ... VOLDTÆGTSFORBRYDER? I 2005 blev Zuma tiltalt for at have voldtaget en kvinde i sit hjem og var i retten i flere måneder i begyndelsen af ​​2006. Kvinden, der beskyldte ham, var faktisk blot en ung pige, der var yngre end halvdelen af ​​hans alder, og i øvrigt en datter af en nær ven. Og han vidste, at hun var HIV-positiv. Under retssagen sagde han, at 'selv bad om det, fordi hun var iført en kort nederdel’. Og da blev han spurgt, om han brugte nogen beskyttelse, som han sagde, at havde han ikke gjorde. Derefter sagde han, at han tog han et brusebad for at mindske risikoen for at have fået denne virus. Ja, du læste det rigtigt. Forestil dig, at dette er et land, der kæmper mod en frygtelig HIV/AIDS-epidemi mere end noget andet land i verden, og deres leder siger noget så dumt. Det viste, hvor lidt han ved om overførslen af ​​HIV/AIDS. Hvad der gør dette endnu mere skandaløst er, at Zuma havde været leder af det nationale AIDS-program, i sin tid som næstformand. Denne udtalelse fik Sydafrikas mest berømte politiske tegner, Zapiro, til at tegne et brusebad over Zuma's hoved for at illustrere, hvor dumt dette var. Fra da af blev Zuma altid tegnet sådan i hver eneste Zapiro-tegneserie – og stadig i dag. Selvom han endte med at blive frikendt for voldtægt, ser mange mennesker dette som en åbenlyst uret. Men i løbet af de næste par år blev de voksende korruptionsklager mod ham for meget for hans eget parti, ANC. Det parti, han havde 'tjent' i 60 år, begyndte arbejde på at presse ham til at gå af.   ZUMA MUST FALL I uger trodsede han disse ordrer og viste ingen tegn på, at han ville fratræde, hvilket provokerede den allerede vrede befolkning. Men Zuma endte dog med at tage sit gode tøj og gå – et par uger før mit besøg i Durban. Dagen før mit besøg meddelte den offentlige anklager faktisk, at Zuma ville stå overfor retsforfølgning på 18 anklager om korruption, herunder mere end 700 tilfælde af bedrageri, afpresning og hvidvaskning af penge. Så du kan nok forestille dig, at dette var noget, der dominerede nyhederne, da jeg var i Durban. Og alle snakkede om Zuma ville ende med at skulle i fængsel. Offentligheden gav udtryk for deres mening med dannelsen af ”​Zuma Must Fall-kampagnen, som ikke kun fik national, men også global opmærksomhed.   TILBAGE PÅ TAGET, MED EN UDSIGT TIL FREMTIDEN Nu hvor det politiske støv endnu ikke har lagt sig (Zuma er stadig i retten her i 2020), forsøger lokale som Nkonzo at have en mening om det hele, og hvordan landet har brug for at kigge fremad i stedet for at at dvæle ved fortiden. Han fortæller, at Sydafrika er et land, der stadig har sine udfordringer. Nkonzo er Zulu, den største oprindelige stamme i landet, og Zulu er det mest almindelige sprog, der tales som modersmål af 23% af sydafrikanere (efterfulgt af Xhosa og Afrikaans). Faktisk er engelsk kun det fjerde mest almindelige førstesprog i landet, men det er det dominerende regeringssprog og det, der primært bruges i medierne. Der er ti officielle sprog i Sydafrika og mindst 35 oprindelige stamme sprog. ”Jeg skal være i stand til at tale engelsk for at kunne finde arbejde i dette land, hvilket er svært for mange mennesker, der vokser op fattige uden ordentlig adgang til uddannelse. Mit modersmål er Zulu, så i det land, hvor jeg blev født, har jeg været nødt til at lære et andet sprog for at skabe mig et liv”, siger han. Nkonzo er glad for sit job, men har drømme om andet (end at tale med danske nomader på toppen af ​​ikoniske fodboldstadioner). Han håber at kunne dedikere sit liv til musik som rapper. Nkonzo går under scenenavnet Dat Boy Mreppa og hans er faktisk supergod – døm selv i slutningen af episoden. Opdatering: Jeg talte med Nkonzo i forbindelse med redigeringen af denne episode, og her fortalte han mig, at han er i gang med at indspille et helt album, som udkommer til november i år. Han fortalte mig også, at han vil udgive et par singler inden da, så vær på udkig efter en af ​​Durbans nyeste musikalske talenter. Det er alt for denne episode. I den næste episode hopper jeg af taget af Moses Mabhida Stadium på verdens højeste gyngetur.

Is the pen mightier than the sword? Well, in the case of Jonathan Shapiro AKA Zapiro and according to the French government the saying is true. Last week Zapiro was given a knighthood by the Ambassador of France, Aurélien Lechevallier. He said Zapiro was bestowed the order because he shared, “the values that define and guide [the French] Republic. “The trilogy equality, liberty, and fraternity resonate perfectly with who you are, what you believe in, and what you stand for.” In this episode, we explore the backstory to this incredibly significant achievement, the release of his 28th book (yes, that’s right, 28th published works) and we discuss the transcript that the Hawks read to Jonathan which revealed that he was the target of a legitimate assassination from alleged jihadists the Thulsie twins Brandon-Lee and Tony-Lee. So, strap yourselves in and welcome back to the Matt Brown Show, one of South Africa’s culture and artistic icons, Jonathan Shapiro.

In this edition we report on Burkina Faso, where escalating violence is fuelling a worsening humanitarian crisis. We also speak to Nigerian powerhouse Chioma Ude, who has been running the African Film Festival for nine years and has just ventured into the creation of a TV streaming platform. Finally, our reporters meet South African cartoonist Zapiro, who has been awarded one of France's highest honours.

Jonathan Shapiro goes a little too far, while Gilad Stern aims to summit the tallest mountain in South America. Two stories on the theme Justice and Revenge. Stories told live at the Southern Rights & Wrongs live event at Raptor Room in Cape Town.  

Cartoonists. They say that cartoonism is simply organized gossip but in South Africa, a simple cartoon represents far more than trivial gossip – for Jonathan Shapiro AKA Zapiro his cartoons have become nationwide talking points for over 25 years. He has been published over 27 times, was the first cartoonist to win a category prize in the CNN African Journalist of the year Awards, has held solo cartoon exhibitions in New York, London and Frankfurt and many in South Africa and through his running commentary on local political developments he became personal friends with Nelson Mandela and archbishop Desmond Tutu. Not surprisingly, his work has ruffled the feathers of certain corrupt politicians in South Africa and on this episode of the Matt Brown Show we explore his very personal account of taking on the political establishment through his work and the sometimes very dire consequences thereof. We also dissect the little know inner workings of his creative process and how he has managed to find the courage to continue to be one of the most honest and courageous voices in journalism and media.

The guest on this episode is advocate and free thinker Mark Oppenheimer. Jonathan and Roman chat to Mark about his recent encounter at Think!Fest in Grahamstown, in which he was silenced and denied his freedom to speak because of his race and purported family background. This attack on free speech is highlighted further in discussion around the deplatforming of Flemming Rose at UCT, the furore over Zapiro cartoons, and the reaction to various paintings of political actors and their genitalia. Mark unpacks the specifics of speech protected by the Constitution and the interpretation thereof, especially in light of the concepts of hate speech versus hurtful speech.

Roman and Jonathan look back at the month of social justice hysteria around Zapiro, online racism and Ghostbusters. They discuss the Left's obsession with destroying the lives and careers of people with whom they disagree. There's some laughs to be had at the expense of RMF, fill-in radio DJs, and butter bean eating part-time journalists. There's even a book review, and the guys mention upcoming guests and ask for your feedback.

Die sosiale media gons oor 'n spotprent van Jonathan Shapiro, waar hy die hoof van die NVG, Shaun Abrahams, as 'n aap uitbeeld. Shapiro, beter bekend as Zapiro, het groot kritiek oor die spotprent ontvang, met sommige individue wat dit as rassisties beskou. Shapiro het met Jean Esterhuizen gepraat oor die reaksie op sy spotprent. Hy sê die publiek verstaan verkeerd wat hy oor President Jacob Zuma en Shaun Abrahams se verhouding wou uitbeeld.
