TEA with Nicky

LIFE in Black & White

🎙️ On this episode of Life in Black & White is out now, and it's a spicy one! 🌶️🔥 We dive deep into the current Government of National Unity (GNU) and ponder: is it a DA-ANC coalition, or is it truly a GNU? We raise some serious questions about the "DANC" government. Just a heads-up, we filmed this episode literally the day before Renaldo Gouws' racist video broke the internet in SA, where he shockingly used both the k-word and n-word. This scandal finally led to his suspension (though we think the DA could've done better). 🙄 We also discuss other nefarious characters like Carl Niehaus, who recently joined the EFF and was appointed as an MP. And, Sips shares her insights from watching the National Assembly, while we also touch on Gayton McKenzie's fascinating redemption arc. 🎭 It's a rollercoaster of an episode you don't want to miss. Tune in now for our takes on these hot topics and more! 🌟 This is a public episode.
