Are South Africa’s democratic institutions losing public trust?
In this episode of Anchor Point, Naledi Moleo examines the growing credibility crisis surrounding the Presidency, Parliament, the Public Protector, SARS, and the South African Reserve Bank as the Phala Phala saga returns to dominate the national conversation.
With President Cyril Ramaphosa once again facing scrutiny, opposition parties intensifying pressure, and questions mounting around institutional accountability, this conversation asks a much bigger question: what happens when citizens begin doubting the institutions meant to protect democracy itself?
Naledi unpacks:
· Why Phala Phala continues to shape South African politics
· The pressure facing Parliament and the Speaker
· Questions around the Public Protector’s handling of the matter
· The role of SARS and the Reserve Bank
· Why 2026 could become a defining democratic reckoning year
