Andrea Johnson Is Gone - But South Africa's Crisis Isn't

This week on This Is Politics, Justice Malala and Mondli Makhanya unpack one of the biggest political stories of the year as IPID head Andrea Johnson resigns following explosive testimony before the Madlanga Commission.

What does her departure mean for the fight against corruption? Is South Africa finally confronting the networks that have infiltrated law enforcement, or is this just another chapter in a much bigger crisis?

The conversation then shifts to the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) — the institution responsible for managing over R4 trillion in public servants' pension money. With its board in turmoil and key executives suspended or gone, the hosts ask whether one of South Africa's most important financial institutions is facing another era of instability.

They also explore:

Why the Madlanga Commission continues to dominate South Africa's political conversation
The growing questions around Crime Intelligence and accountability
The role of Julius Malema and the EFF in recent revelations
Why institutions meant to protect democracy appear increasingly vulnerable
Whether South Africa is witnessing institutional reform — or institutional collapse

This is a conversation about power, accountability, corruption and the future of South Africa's democracy.

Do you believe South Africa is finally cleaning up corruption, or are the problems simply too deep?
