uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party leader Jacob Zuma could soon be in the hot seat as a guest on Podcast and Chill.
The award-winning podcast is hosted by Sol Phenduka and MacG. The duo are mostly known for their hot takes on controversial topics, often resulting in them trending on social media for days.
This time proved no different after an X (formally Twitter) user shared a snippet of the two hosts, alongside Ghost Lady, talking about possibly getting Zuma in the studio.
When MacG asked, “How powerful is Jacob Zuma, guys?” he was met with a roar of words from his fellow host.
The TV personality also mentioned Zuma’s 2-hour interview with eNCA which was not aired because it was “too close to the elections.”
Speaking about Zuma’s team approaching them, MacG said: “So they gave us a call and we said they can come any time.”
The show admitted they had been trying for months to get the former president in as a guest.
#PodcastAndChill set to have a sitdown with President Jacob Zuma ❤
How powerful is Zuma? 😭😭
eNCA interviewed him, then announced it would not air a two-hour interview JZ had with JJ Tabane because “it is too close to the elections”. 🤡

Podcast and Chill fans shared their excitement of them possibly having Zuma on the show. “He is more powerful than Vladimir Putin,” joked @bydega_.
“They are about to hit 100 million views in one day,” said @Chana.
@BB_Ludidi had some constructive input for both hosts: “One thing I can advise them is to listen try not to interrupt the old man, it’s going to be a free political lecture I just can’t wait.”
The MK party’s recent results at the hotly-contested polls have done little to dampen reports of alleged in-fighting and Zuma’s threats at the IEC.
The party has threatened legal action concerning the election results, along with its founder accusing Zuma of being appointed fraudulently as party leader.
Word: Fame Frenzy
