The Bottom of the Week with Tyrone Fisher: Storm chaos, corporate “improvements” and Cyril standing firm

This week’s The Bottom of the Week with Tyrone Fisher takes a sharp, tongue-in-cheek look back at a chaotic few days in South Africa, from Cape storm damage and flooding disruptions across the Western Cape, to frustration with South African companies quietly changing familiar products while insisting nothing has really changed, including the latest Aquafresh formula debate. The conversation also turns to ongoing political tension, with Cyril Ramaphosa confirming he is not stepping down despite renewed Phala Phala pressure and legal developments, adding another layer to an already crowded political landscape. Tyron speaks to Lester Kiewit about the week’s biggest talking points, mixing satire with sharp commentary on the stories that had the country talking.   Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit is a podcast of the CapeTalk breakfast show.  This programme is your authentic Cape Town wake-up call.
