S. African comedian debuts on the Daily Show with Trevor Noah

South Africa

South African comedian Loyisa Madinga made his debut on American television as the Africa correspondent for the Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

Madinga’s debut piece was about the ongoing leadership tussle in the governing African National Congress( ANC).

He interviews party members and asks if their newly elected leader Cyril Ramaphosa would be good for the ANC because “he is a billionaire.”

He also tries to sell his theory of ‘making corruption work for the ordinary South African’.

Do the ANC members buy the theory?
