In this episode, Joseph Mosia unpacks how Cele’s testimony before Parliament dismantled Mchunu’s defence, exposed the murky power struggles within the police, and revealed Cele’s own troubling ties to underworld figures. Is Cele’s evidence a genuine stand for accountability — or just another chapter in the battle for control of South Africa’s police?

Gauteng dismantled. KwaZulu-Natal dismantled. Now the Western Cape joins the growing list of provinces in political ICU.

Is this genuine organisational renewal or a last-minute attempt to survive the 2026 local elections?

In this episode of Joe Talks Politics, Joseph Mosia breaks down the ANC’s accelerating decline — the factional battles, the collapsing moral authority, the questionable “renewal” strategy, and what this means for South Africa’s political future.

Can a party that can’t fix itself really fix the country? Or are we watching the final chapter of the liberation movement era?

But this isn’t just about one man — it’s about what the ANC has become.

When the ruling party can’t tell where its ranks end and where the rot begins, you know the center is no longer holding. From Phala Phala to VBS, from state capture to criminal infiltration, the ANC’s moral fabric is unraveling in full public view.

In this episode, Joseph Mosia dissects Mbalula’s denial, Mogotsi’s defiance, and what their clash reveals about a party trapped between its liberation legacy and its lust for power.
Is the ANC still capable of cleaning house — or has it reached the point of no return?

From explosive allegations involving MPs Dianne Kohler-Barnard and Fadiel Adams, to SAPS detectives being deployed to serve private interests at Richards Bay Minerals — the revelations are coming thick and fast. Was the Presidency directly involved in police deployments? How deep does the rot in Crime Intelligence really go?
