De Beer: Corruption “hostages”, “Chameleon” Steenhuisen on the ANC Smartie Box - and Gayton as CR’s “apple-bearer….”

Loading player...
In this week’s episode of the Sunday Show, United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil de Beer talks about the possibility of the African National Congress (ANC) regaining a majority in 2028 by taking credit for the good work being done in the Government of National Unity (GNU) by ministers, mostly of other parties. However, he also warns the ANC that it risks a “palace revolution” unless it deals with the corruption in its ranks. He referees the latest spat between Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen and President Cyril Ramaphosa who now has Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie jumping to his defence. De Beer talks about the high profile defections of people with “sensitive information” to the MK Party of former President Jacob Zuma, as well as the arrest of his benefactor, the diamond dealer Louis Liebenberg. And he describes the “dismantling” of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) as “the once rising revolutionary replacement of the ANC to something that will just be folding directly into the MK”.
