The Commission sits back, and discusses the incarceration of Jacob Zuma, the constitution as well as the unfolding Civil unrest that has captured the nation. We look at the misinformation and propaganda that has been championed and portrayed, and squash holes in these narratives. Jacob Zuma was ultimately the straw that broke the camels back, but this is about inequality, poverty, lack of opportunity and desperation. We also delve into issues of tribalism, and the damning polarization by the Cyril, who once again lacks the fortitude to remain firm and strong in the wake of the unrest. Now is not the time for polarization by leaders, we are already a divided nation. We do not need further division. This is not time for racial undertones, we as South Africans need to band together and defend our neighborhoods and communities. And we have seen just that, armed civilians of all races coming together and protecting their livelihoods against criminals. Be Vigilant. Don't catch Covid. Get a Gun. And don't believe the propaganda, this is about the socio-economic situation in South Africa and the incompetent governance by the ANC. Engage with us! quesstioningcommission@gmail.com.

We start by looking at the tensions that are currently shaping and defining relations between China, Taiwan and the West. We take a take a tangent and look at conscription and the SANDF.

South Africa has failed to act, again. Terrorists recently stormed the city of Cabo Delgado in Mozambique and have left a number of people dead, homeless and fleeing for life. The attack also saw Total halt operations in the area. The truth is that much of this could have been avoided had SADC acted upon the available intel. The Questioning Commission takes time to look into what went wrong and what can be done to salvage the situation. The Questioning Commission is compromised of Chace and Kwenzokuhle.

With the United States of America and China having recently held a summit to try and iron out their tensions, The Questioning Commission looks into the relations between these two countries. We analyze a number of issues that have defined the relationship between these two countries, nothing is spared. Being the poor man's therapy, a tangent is taken as we rant and ramble about other things that are not really related, but are. We also look at how the tensions between the two countries have led to many confusing situations such as the Australian and Indian cases. The question being tackled is: is it really national security or just geopolitics and economics? Stumbling and swinging recklessly as he always does, Biden takes jibes at Putin and Xi Jinping.

The Questioning Commission sits back and chats with 'Don', a South African serving in the French Foreign Legion. We discuss choosing the legion over SANDF, the joining, recruitment and the orientation process. Deployments in Africa, embedding with indigenous forces. Shoot-outs and the future of conflict in Africa. With the rise of ethnic, radical and political instability, should Western Forces play a bigger role in ensuring stability in Africa? OR should Africans make means to fix African problems? What is the future role of Private Military Contractors in Africa?

Coup De’tat takes center stage, but tangents are rife. We look at the unfolding situation in Myanmar and Haiti, but also touch on Coups of the past. Despite rainbows, sunshine, liberation, freedom and democracy being the flavor of the 21stCentury, he/she who controls the guns, is ultimately in charge. Similarities between the Zondo Commission and Questioning Commission are conjured up! We’re in the same Whatsapp Group! Same powers and everything! Just a smaller platform. Is nuclear armament a solution to ensuring international stability, mutually assured destruction ensures true peace. Leviathan and Social Contract are still relevant.
