National Assembly defence portfolio committee chairperson, Dakota legoete, and his jointed fence committee counterpart, Malusi Gigaba, say that if the defence budget isn’t increased, it will jeopardise the country’s sovereignty and national security. Phemelo is in conversation with Co-chairperson of the Joint Standing Committee on Defence Malusi Gigaba.
