MFM 92.6 MFM 92.6 Interviews

Minister John Steenhuisen & DA Federal Council Chair Helen Zille

--:--
In this insightful episode, we bring you two high-impact interviews with senior DA leaders recorded live during their recent visits to Stellenbosch.

First up, DA Leader and Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen joins Wilné van Rooyen in studio following his visit to campus for a care initiative aimed at supporting NSFAS students. He reflects on youth disengagement, walking the campus with his daughter Ashleigh, and community challenges in Kayamandi.

Then, Lesedi Mnisi sits down with Helen Zille, Chair of the DA Federal Council, during her visit to local old-age homes. She speaks about the importance of voting, her own evolution in politics, and the power of campus radio — with a few lighter moments, including a flashback to her appearance on The Tollie & Manilla Show.

Insightful, grounded, and unfiltered — this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in youth politics, local leadership, and civic action.
