Venezuela invaded, Gwede smack talk, Zille TikToks, Julius sentencing | Chester explains

Loading player...
Welcome to 2026, South Africa — and it’s already a mess.

In this explosive opening episode of the year, Chester Missing breaks down global chaos and local nonsense:
Donald Trump invading Venezuela for oil, South Africans cheering on international crime, the ANC lecturing America on international law, the DA’s Cape Town housing hypocrisy, Gwede Mantashe giving job advice with 64% youth unemployment, and why KZN is about to become absolute mayhem.

We also look ahead to Julius Malema’s court date, Cat Matlala’s prison shuffle, the Madlanga Commission fallout, and why this election year is going to drown us all in political nonsense.

Sharp satire. Real issues. No mercy.
Welcome to 2026 — let’s get into it.
