LAWYER: SELLOUTS RUNNING SOUTH AFRICA

In the last few decades, accusations of being a 'sell-out' have been part of the South African political landscape.

Politicians, especially in the liberation movement-turned-ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), have often accused each other of having been apartheid spies or collaborators during the liberation struggle that lasted until the end of apartheid in the early 1990s.

The accusations have again come to the fore following a decision by the Cyril Ramaphosa-led ANC to form a Government of National Unity (GNU) that includes political parties, such as the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the Freedom Front Plus (FF+), white-led organisations with a history of opposing policies that seek to reverse the negative effects of decades of apartheid legislation that excluded non-white people from participating and benefiting from the white-controlled economy.

In this clip from a recent episode of a podcast hosted by South African media personality and academician Sizwe Mpofu Walsh, South African lawyer Muzi Sikhakhane claimed a 'sell-out' faction controlling the ANC led to the GNU's creation.
