TK Pooe & Lukhona Mnguni | The TK Show
In this episode, TK speaks with political maverick Lukhona Mnguni. They explore Lukhona’s journey as a political commentator, delve into the difference between neutrality and objectivity, and discuss why Lukhona rejects the label “political analyst.” The conversation also addresses the fearmongering around the so-called “Doomsday Coalition” between the ANC and the EFF, examines how polling can be manipulated to advance political agendas, and envisions what South Africa might look like beyond the 2024 elections.
