of the guard coming in south africa, the anc s decline is terminal. it s just a matter of how fast, did you really believe that? of course i believed it then. i think it s a fair assessment about where the anc find themselves in the last local government elections, in 2021, they, for the first time in post democratic south africa, lost their majority and fell below 50%. this obviously allied with the fact that our economy s not growing, we ve got 30 million people living in poverty, 12 million people unemployed, and loadshedding, rolling blackouts, which have reached into every home and switched off the lights, switched off our factories, and switched off our economy. south africans are realising that if they don t change the way they vote, south africa is going to end up in a very, very dark place, and it s going to be poverty and inequality deepening. well, in that bleak context that you ve just outlined, with the unemployment, what they call here loadshedding , the rol
i like to call it, holly wouldn t. i say it with love, yeah, because for all the times i ve been told, no, as a latin actor. now, los angeles, surrounded by beautiful mountains, palm tree, s magnificent sunsets, and without a doubt, the best mexican food in the country. this is a melting pot with a little bit of all of us latinos. even its name is latino, the name los angeles, no, it s lost angeles. now hollywood has become a global metaphor film in a place that many of us want to reach, but what if i told you that a latino was behind one of the most incredible tv empires in the world, it s a fact. 1950s actor desi arnaz and his wife, lucille ball, were not only stars of i love lucy, but they also produced, along with many other shows, they even helped create the multi cab sitcom genre. so even though there is still the struggle, hollywood is not a new territory for us latinos, no, because we have been here. do you hear me? so today, an ally icon is taking us to its old stom
