We re Brothers Episode 10: What comes after fake news

We’re back after a short break—David was working long hours on a film set, so there wasn’t much time to record. We start by catching up, then dive into the hot topic on both sides of the Atlantic: the fake news surrounding white “Afrikaner” “refugees.” That conversation branches out in many directions. Whites, including Afrikaners, make up about 7% of South Africa’s population but own 73% of private land and dominate wealth, media, and leadership. They hold 62% of top leadership positions, and five of the country’s ten wealthiest individuals are Afrikaners—including the richest, Johann Rupert. Meanwhile, crime continues to disproportionately affect Black South Africans due to entrenched poverty and historical inequality. Despite no land expropriation, groups like AfriForum push false persecution narratives that resonate in U.S. conservative politics. Even in sports like rugby and cricket, Afrikaners remain dominant, despite the ongoing transformation efforts. These stories aren’t about South Africa but U.S. culture wars. Afrikaners are not victims of genocide; they remain among the most powerful and privileged in the country. We wrap up with a review of Kün by Agüero, the new documentary sold as a story about his life with cardiac arrhythmia and friendship with Messi. But beneath the surface, it’s about involving your family in your business.
