Escape from the Rainbow Nation: South Africa's Fracturing Narrative
But This Time It's Different · 2025-05-27
In this episode, Sinead and Alex wade into the wonderfully messy world of South African politics, where historical memory collides with present-day power plays.
From whispered asylum policies for white Afrikaners to the ANC’s crumbling crown, they unpack how a country built on apartheid ghosts is now haunted by something even trickier: the future.
Race, power, nostalgia, geopolitics: it’s all here, and yes, it’s as chaotic as it sounds.
But This Time It's Different
But This Time It’s Different is where we unpack the truth behind the wrong, late or wilfully blind stories we’re told- about progress, markets, governments, and tech- with apparently sharp analysis and dark humor.
