News24 | REAL POLITIKI | Recycled, not renewed: The politics behind Ramaphosa’s Pule appointment

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to appoint Dina Pule as the Minister of Social Development has angered many South Africans, who are asking questions.

She was implicated in scandals involving her partner, which included tenders and international travel, and was shown the door about a decade ago. Why is she back?

In this edition of Real Politiki, News24 deputy politics editor Bongekile Macupe and politics reporter Siyamtanda Capa are joined by senior political journalist Norman Masungwini to unpack the ANC’s internal dynamics, which made Pule the “only available option,” why the ANC will never admit the appointment is wrong, and what it really says about Ramaphosa’s renewal agenda.

From Babita Deokaran to Mpho Mafole, whistleblowers remain at the forefront of News24’s intensive investigative work.
