In this interview with Chris Steyn, Political Commentator Solly Moeng gives his take on the latest developments in the impeachment drama surrounding President Cyril Ramaphosa, noting: “... he is buying time for himself, definitely for other people around him whose interests would not be aided by him leaving now and a certain Paul Mashatile is immediately coming in…” Moeng calls for the recall of Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen and the removal of his Chief of Staff Jana le Roux who allegedly swore at an agri official and for sharing bemusement at farmers reaching out to the department. “...if he can’t remove her, maybe they should remove him…look it's up to the DA now to prove itself, to say to Ramaphosa, look, we are withdrawing this man…” Speaking on the 50th anniversary of the June 16 1976 youth march in Soweto, Moeng slams the government for failing the youth. Describing his return last year to Diepkloof - where he grew up, he charges: “It's worse than during Apartheid.The primary school that I used to go to has got a squatter camp inside its yard…It actually made me go on to cry…..” Lastly, he comments on the Western Cape’s outgoing Police Commissioner coming out in support of extending policing powers to the province.
