Not many people have a life story quite like this… at the age of 21 he gives up a life of privilege for one of danger and sacrifice, including 27 years living in exile while working for the ANC. He was also one of the founding members of Umkhonto we Sizwe in Natal in 1961. Ronnie Kasrils is a former SA government minister, and was a leading member of the African National Congress during the apartheid era. In his post-activism life, he’s written another book – ‘Catching Tadpoles: The Shaping of a Young Rebel’. Gareth Cliff chats to him about the pages of his latest read that are bursting with anecdotal stories that are not only enjoyable to read and connect together like a racy novel, but can teach old and young, black and white much about inclusiveness and bringing hope for all South Africans.

13.12.19 Pt 1 – It’s Gugu’s last day… did he learn anything while at CliffCentral? What’s certain is that he will be missed, HEY BOET! It’s Christmas time – who’s doing it right, hedonist Dan Bilzerian or the second coming of Jesus, Siya Sangweni – the fabulous king of the meek. ‘Bumble’ Ben is back and he swiped left – turns out society and sewage have more in common than you’d think. And is there glitter in the ‘mot’ of the stripper?

12.12.19 Pt 1 – We’ve reached an era where referring to people as a chick or a girl is sometimes frowned upon, and referring to someone as a they is the new normal. The team unpack this and attempt to make sense of it. There’s a lot of virtue signaling going around, and a character named Susan from Houghton takes a lot of flack from the team, bearing the sins of all white people. Do you still have that stash of CDs from the previous decade? Well it may be worth hanging on to them.

How deep do the effects of corruption run within Eskom? Who are the people who have led this march to ruin? What does that mean for the ordinary taxpayer? Ted Blom is back to untangle the different ‘stages’ of what feels like Eskom’s inevitable demise. From being a crown jewel in the State’s portfolio, Eskom is now a burdensome noose around the neck of all of South Africa’s citizenry. How long will it take Eskom to get their act together? Is there light at the end of the tunnel, or is loadshedding part of a ‘dark’ future for our country?

The End is Nigh
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been called an optimist. I think the people who called me that didn’t mean it as a compliment.
Throughout human history, the cynics, stoics and mystics had more respect than the optimists – but it turns out that history is on the side of those who have a generally positive view of their existence and the overall trend for humanity.
2019 has been the year of Greta Thunberg, Hong Kong, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Jussie Smollett, Venezuela, Christchurch, Notre Dame and Jeffrey Epstein – so you’d be forgiven for thinking things aren’t great. But you’d be wrong… completely wrong.
