South Africans have become more vocal in raising their voices against various issues, including amongst others corruption, unemployment, service delivery, and crime.
Often, their voices are accompanied by protests and marches in their quest to have their concerns redressed. “Truth to Power” will afford the nation a chance to tell their stories in gritty detail.

“JJ brings the power of what truth and communication can achieve by delving into honest and robust discussions on topics some may not want discussed.
“We see the show as being a catalyst that urges government, business, and society to bring about change to improve the lives of all South Africans”.
