“Redemption Requires a Price” — PA’s Ashley Sauls on Corruption, Kenny Kunene & more

PA MP Ashley Sauls sits down for a no-fluff interview — from his personal “redemption” story to the uncomfortable questions the country is asking about Kenny Kunene, criminal syndicates, and whether the GNU is actually delivering accountability. We get into the real arguments: what redemption actually means, whether “independent investigations” paid for by a party can be trusted, why the PA backs sending the army into gangster areas, and the brutal truth about how politics is played when commissions expose rot. ✅ IN THIS EPISODE • Ashley Sauls’ journey: church → politics → Patriotic Alliance • “Redemption requires a price” — why “forgive me” isn’t enough • The Kunene controversy: “once vs twice” and the credibility problem • Independent investigation debate: paid for ≠ trusted? • Can citizens ever get justice when institutions are compromised? • VAT fight inside GNU: cabinet deals vs court action vs “playing politics” • PA’s claim: they pushed key GNU moves (army / immigration enforcement) • Should the SANDF be used to fight gangs? (and the risks) • What happens after the Madlanga / ad hoc outcomes: arrests or cover-up? • The core tension: “serving the country” vs scoring political points Don’t just complain get involved, share this conversation, and subscribe for more State of the Nation insights.
