In this episode of "The Bill," Lester and Tara sits down with Pieter-Louis Myburgh, assistant editor at News24 and author of "The Dark Prince," for a deep dive into the political trajectory of South Africa's Deputy President Paul Mashatile. The conversation unveils the potential future of South African politics as Mashatile positions himself to become the next ANC president and possibly the country's next leader.

Myburgh paints a concerning picture of Mashatile as a "Zuma 2.0" - a political operator with strong networks of influence, particularly the so-called "Alex Mafia," who fund his lavish lifestyle while benefiting from government contracts. Despite his struggle credentials from apartheid-era activism, Mashatile's tenure in various government positions reveals a troubling pattern of failed projects and personal enrichment.
