This podcast episode discusses the surprising conviction of Donald Trump in a felony case, the aftermath of the trial and its political consequences, the declining votes for the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa, and the potential loss of its national majority. The episode also explores the current political situation in South Africa and the risk of the ANC losing its long-standing hegemony. The speaker then announces her departure from the show but assures the listeners that she will continue contributing from Lagos, where she has started reporting on the twin crises of housing and coastal erosion in the city.
