This was a special moment. I met Magdalene back in 2011 -- pictured here! -- when she was part of a youth leadership program I was helping to run. Fast forward, and I'm talking to her about #SAelections24 and her role in protecting democracy. Listen: youtube.com/watch?v=WoRoOZ…

Our co-creator Jeffrey Smith spoke to Magdalene -- a lawyer, activist, and former MP -- about the mood in #SouthAfrica a week from Election Day, the issues animating voters, and the outsize burden that South Africans necessarily carry.

'...even those South Africans who complain relentlessly about the ANC often feel such a strong connection to the party that they can't do anything but vote for it.'

The power of liberation movements - we discussed this topic on The Resistance Bureau a while back: youtube.com/watch?v=FW_9HD…

This month's election in #SouthAfrica is perhaps the most hotly contested since 1994. All told, the results could fundamentally alter the future of national politics. Join our panel on May 28 as we break it all down. #SAelections24 Set your reminder here: x.com/i/spaces/1yoKM…

I look forward to co-hosting this event on the upcoming election in #SouthAfrica ( #SAelections24 ). My first 'real job' was working for a South African think tank and I've since been captivated with the country and its politics.

Over the past few years, Africa has experienced over a dozen coups. In some cases, 'elected' despots have been toppled, raising the question: Can there ever be a 'good coup'? It's worth checking our 2021 show feat., among others, Farida Bemba Nabourema and Hopewell Chin’ono.
