Neil de Beer: The State v/s AfriForum, Cyril’s successors line up - and SA’s “atomic” relationship with Iran

In the latest edition of the Sunday Show, United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil de Beer warns that many people could still face arrest in terms of the The General Intelligence Laws Amendment Bill of 2023 as it covers any person or institution that engages in activities that are defined as a threat to the national security of South Africa. He advises AfriForum Head Kallie Kriel to study the bill, and he urges some well-known Afrikaners - who have been very vocal on South Africa - to do their research and ensure what they are saying and doing is lawful and factual and can stand up in court. He further warns people who take the State head-on not to be naive and think they are not on the watchlist of intelligence services. Meanwhile, De Beer tears into President Cyril Ramaphosa for his sudden awakening to the decay in Johannesburg - and looks at his possible successors as African National Congress (ANC) President: from billionaire Patrice Motsepe to Police Minister Senzo Mchunu. He also has a go at another presidential hopeful ANC SG Fikile Mbalula who is facing the wrath of some old stalwarts - aligned to Ramaphosa or another candidate - for wanting to put them through a disciplinary process that could destroy their credibility. As for South Africa’s controversial foreign policy stances, De Beer speculates on the possible reasons for ANC officials “continually meeting” with Iran.
