Rob Hutchinson

Rob Hutchinson is the co-founder of OUTA, Dear South Africa, and is currently the Deputy General Secretary of COPE. Rob joins us to discuss the role civil activism plays in South Africa, how political parties tried to shut him down, and how the NDR is used to infiltrate and destroy civil organisations.

Progress SA

Tami Jackson and Scott Roberts, two of the individuals behind Progress SA, are the guests on this week’s show. They explain the environment at UCT which led to their establishment, why their free speech campaign has ruffled so many feathers, and how they plan to tackle the issues of creeping cultural Marxism at the university. Jonathan tackles accusations of foreign funding and Roman delves into the highly dangerous ‘Curriculum Change Framework’.

Kristian Nietmetz

Senior Fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, Kristian Nietmetz joins the Renegades this week. Kristian explains how totalitarianism is an inevitable feature of socialism and gives a lengthy explanation as to the collapse of Venezuela. Roman wonders why socialism is still defended by rich westerners, and Jonathan explores the 'no true Scotsman' fallacy.

The Nation is in a Terrible State

This week on the podcast the Renegades discuss why they weren’t bothered to watch #SONA2019 and were proven right. Roman explains how the massive oil discovery off the coast of the Western Cape may spell the end of democracy in SA, and Jonathan wanders into American politics - including Trump’s SOTU and the Democrats’ reaction. Finally, the hosts lament the low standards of corruption in the State, and how our politicians can’t even do that well.
