De Beer: Cyril & John; Pieter & Corné; Cabinet “criminals”; valour “stolen” by MKP & SANDF General; Kagame’s “war” talk

Loading player...
In this edition of the Sunday Show, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM) Neil de Beer talks about the future of the Government of National Unity (GNU) being reset by President Cyril Ramaphosa and Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen over a private lunch; the apparent disunity between Freedom Front Plus Leader Pieter Groenewald and Western Cape Leader Corné Mulder as yet another DA Mayor is ousted. De Beer lists the Cabinet Ministers and Deputies who are governing under a cloud; and slams former President Jacob Zuma’s MKP appropriating the Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) name, and SANDF Chief General Rudzani Maphwanya wearing honorary Recce and 44 Parachute Battalion badges. (He calls it “stolen valour”, and challenges the general to a tandem parachute jump). De Beer comments on the diplomatic row between Rwandan President Paul Kagame and “our limping, gutless president” - and lays into Defence Minister Angie Motshekga. He expresses concern about attacks on the highly efficient KZN Provincial Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. And, of course, he has a pointed message for ESKOM after the unexpected load shedding this weekend.
