Gwede Mantashe Should Resign | ANC January 8 Collapse Explained

from Real Problem with Chester Missing · host Chester Missing/Conrad Koch

In this episode of Real Problem with Chester Missing, we break down why Gwede Mantashe should resign — and what the ANC’s half-empty January 8 birthday celebration really tells us about the state of South African politics. From ANC corruption, service delivery failures, and General Mkhwanazi’s explosive revelations, to Gwede Mantashe’s shocking comments on unemployment and the deliberate confusion around BEE, this episode explains why the ANC leadership has completely lost touch with reality. We unpack how corruption hollowed out Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment, why inequality in South Africa remains racialised, and how political elites protect each other while ordinary South Africans pay the price. This is not about being anti-transformation — it’s about calling out incompetence, arrogance, and leadership that actively makes things worse.
