Neil de Beer on Mbalula, Morero, Mashatile, MK’s first Western Cape win, the Battle for the Budget - and the general’s d

In his latest Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement, begs billionaire Elon Musk to put African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula in rocket and send him to another planet because “everything he says is absolutely nonsensical”. He predicts a hard fall for Johannesburg “kryptonite” Mayor Dada Marrero, who is under fire for using “influencers” as praise singers to cover up for poor service delivery in the decaying city of Egoli. He speculates that the National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA) reconsideration of its decision not to take a fraud and perjury case against Deputy President Paul Mashatile to trial, could be a way to take him out of the running for President. He once again warns that former president Jacob Zuma's MKP should not be underestimated - this time after his party got a foothold in the Western Cape by taking Middelpos from the ANC with 44% in last week’s by-election. De Beer also comments on the Battle for the Budget that will have to be fought line item by line item. Lastly, he speaks about the SANDF’s planned withdrawal from the DRC - and gives the backstory of the wings that have disappeared from our top general’s chest.
