    Duduzane Zuma Speaks on Putin, Jacob Zuma, Gupta Scandal, and His Controversial Past
    Sep 19 2024
    In this episode of the Wide Awake podcast, I sat down with Duduzane Zuma, the son of former South African president Jacob Zuma. We had a deep and wide-ranging conversation that covered everything from his childhood in Mozambique and what it was like growing up with a father like Zuma in a family with six wives and 24 siblings, to his encounters with Vladimir Putin and Robert Mugabe. We also touched on some important topics, including South Africa’s current political climate, the town of Orania, and Duduzane’s own political journey as he launched his own party. In addition, we delved into his involvement in major controversies, including his links to the Gupta family, his role in the state capture scandal, and how his connections with the Guptas led to him being debanked. Finally, Duduzane shared the story of the best day of his life.

    Former Leader Exposes The Satanic Church
    May 16 2024

    In this episode of the Wide Awake Podcast, I had a conversation with Riaan Swiegelaar, the former leader of the South African Satanic Church. We explored his journey from being a Satanist to embracing Christianity after a profound encounter with Jesus during a satanic ritual. Riaan also shared the immense challenges he faced while leaving the church, including a lawsuit filed against him by other high-ranking members. This legal battle aimed to silence him and prevent him from exposing the shocking truths about Satanism and the activities that took place behind closed doors.
