The Daily Maverick Show

Kingsley sits down with award-winning journalist Pontsho Pilane. She talks about her experience producing some of the best coverage of the #FeesMustFall movement via the Daily Vox, her switch to health journalism, and how she ended up presenting to a room full of members of parliament. Pontsho's story is that of someone who consistently defies the odds, overcoming sexism and structural racism to be one of best young journalists in the country. She tells her story, all with her characteristic humour and no holds barred honesty.

The team runs through the biggest news stories from around the world - including Trump's executive orders, whether the ANC broke the law on their black ops war room... and we review Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma's time as African Commission Chair.
