Listen "Amahle Jaxx Jaxa, National Diaglogue, Taxi Wars, Springboks"
Episode Synopsis
Where do we even start? From a shock loss on the rugby field to a government “national dialogue” that looks like chaos in conference form — this episode tears into the week’s biggest headlines and asks the awkward questions everyone’s scrolling past.
We sit with **Jack of All Trades, Amahle Jaxx Jaxa** — content creator, event don, political commentator, and absolute voice-of-the-people — to unpack:
* Why the **Springboks’ loss to Australia** might actually be a character test, not an apocalypse.
* The **national dialogue** fiasco: R450–700m later, who’s actually being heard — and who’s being gaslit?
* The **taxi economy** mess: how failed public transport turned into private power, lawlessness and road chaos.
* Jack’s jump from events to TikTok politics — and why new media is the only thing getting young people to care.
This episode is equal parts hot-take and hand-wring — we laugh, we rant, and we get uncomfortably real about leadership, accountability and what genuine citizen engagement should look like.
**Must-listen highlights**
• National Dialogue = expensive theatre or real change?
• Taxi industry breakdown = governance failing in real time.
• New media wins: accessible political talk that actually lands with youth.
