De Beer: How politicians are being protected by the “lie of the greater good”

Loading player...
In this episode of the Sunday Show, United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil De Beer, slams the way “the greater good” seems to be the reason certain politicians are not suspended or fired or arrested or tried or jailed. He delves into the cases of President Cyril Ramaphosa, Vice President Paul Mashatile, former President Jacob Zuma, and Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Commander-in-Chief Julius Malema. De Beer gives his take on the growing power struggle between African National Congress (ANC) Secretary General Fikile Mbalula and Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi. He talks about another “Web Celeb”, this time Big Daddy Liberty, being appointed to the office of Democratic Alliance (ANC) leader John Steenhuisen. And he warns that escalating violence between foreign Spaza shop owners and township residents could lead to anarchy.
