Our podcast, Through the Liberty Lens, has two new episodes out. Leon Louw and host Tom London sit down with guests who tackle the questions shaping South Africa's future, with practical solutions grounded in free markets, property rights and individual responsibility.


Phumlani Majozi in Conversation with Leon Louw



Political economist, author and commentator Phumlani Majozi argues that South Africa's future depends on rejecting victimhood politics and embracing personal agency, economic growth and the lessons of the country's great leaders. A hopeful and practical view of what South Africa can become.





Former ANC Insider Phapano Phasha on Self-Reliance, BEE and Who Really Runs South Africa



After 23 years in the ANC, Phapano Phasha now calls herself an "aspirant capitalist". A frank and often surprising conversation on BEE, social grants and the self-reliant vision of the ANC's 1912 founders. Leon shares his own journey from anti-apartheid communist to free market champion. The two don't always agree, which is exactly what makes it worth watching.
