Solly Moeng - Zuma & Duduzane, Cyril & Madlanga, Bozell & Lamola…

In their latest weekly chat, Chris Steyn and political commentator Solly Moeng talk about the headline-grabbing actions of former President Jacob Zuma and the headline grabbing non-action of current President Cyril Ramaphosa: Zuma appointing his son, Duduzane, as MKP’s Deputy President while Ramaphosa has been sitting on the second interim report of the Madlanga Commission for over two months. They also discuss News24’s turn-around on former IDAC chief Andrea Johnson, as well as DIRCO’s release of a photograph of US Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell and International Relations Minister Roland Lamola posing with big smiles after meeting. “I think it's a good thing that the outside world is watching South Africa because we can be fooled into a false sense of patriotism that works against us. Because these politicians in South Africa are smart. You know, we're all going…yeah, let's protect South Africa, but we're actually protecting the stuff that is working against us here at home. …We need politicians here to know that they cannot just do anything and tell us yeah, let's protect the country when we're actually protecting them.”
