Neil de Beer: “Incompetent” Angie, “competent” John & his “Ché Guevera” advocate…

The “incompetence” of Defence Minister Angie Motshekga and the “competence” of impeached Judge John Hlope are trending topics. In this interview, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement, warns: “If you don't listen to what your people say, you are going to fall on your own sword. So when the head of the Navy, when the Army and the Air Force are screaming and telling you, we are the people in the command structure, but you don't listen, or you don't have the competency to understand what they are saying to you, then what do you get?”  De Beer also analyses the legal battle led by Advocate Dali Mpofu for MKP MP and impeached Judge John Hlope to take up his position on the Judicial Services Commission. “Mr. Pomp and Ceremony, Dali Mpofu, getting up again. Seems like he is now the Legal Mind for the Revolutionary. Their own little advocate, Ché Guevera…And I think this case is a showcase of where we as a country are going to have an outcome if we choose people that have integrity or not.”
