Take 10 Minutes To Watch Politically Aweh’s Latest Video

PPE might mean 'personal protective equipment', but as Politically Aweh points out, it could also mean the ruling party's 'Personal Payment Extravaganza'.

Given that we live in the age of the ever-decreasing attention span, I’m aware that asking you to take 10 minutes out of your busy existence (of scrolling through Instagram) is asking a lot.

But hey, here we are, and I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy the latest video from Politically Aweh, if you give it a chance.

The last time we heard from them, they were unpacking Eskom’s death spiral, which is, sadly, still the current state of play for our nation’s power utility.

As for their latest video, which is presented by the hilarious KG Mokgadi, they focus on matters related to South Africa’s procurement of PPE.

Rather than meaning personal protective equipment, which has been in short supply in many hospitals across the country, PPE refers to the ANC’s ‘Personal Payment Extravaganza’, with a feeding frenzy taking place involving dodgy tenders, overinflated prices, and all the usual suspects.

The video is broken down into segments, in case you want to pick and choose:

  • 00:28 A Tender Bonanza
  • 03:09 No one home
  • 04:05 Corruption Bingo!
  • 06:10 #VoetsekANC PR Nightmare
  • 09:22 ANC Cold War

And with that, we’re off, because sometimes all you can do is laugh:
