In this episode of the Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), slams Deputy President Paul Mashatile for not declaring a diamond gifted to his wife by Ponzi accused Louis Liebenberg; warns that Democratic Alliance Federal Chair Helen Zille knows where’s the nuclear button to implode the Government of National Unity (GNU); and calls President Cyril Ramaphosa “spineless, gutless” and without backbone,”watermelons” and “rugby balls” for redeploying Minister Thembi Simelane. Discussing the deportation this weekend of the killer of former South African Communist Party (SACP) leader Chris Hani, De Beer comments on speculation that it was an “inside job” and that some members of the African National Congress (ANC) were part of a plot to use the Right Wing to dispose of him. He also expresses outrage over the costly training of Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi’s “AmaPanyaza” who are “suddenly goose-stepping in the format of Russia and of China”. As for the R90 billion rand municipal debt to ESKOM, De Beer warns: “if we don't get corporate, economic, soluble good governance in the municipal areas, we are dead. We are not going to make it.”
