The Sunday Show: Neil de Beer on Paul “Slimy” Mashatile, Kill the Boer - and SA being “moer toe”…

Loading player...
In the latest Sunday Show with Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), speaks about Budget negotiations threatening the Government of National Unity (GNU) as Deputy President Paul “Slimy” Mashatile is rumoured to be leading talks with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) for support that would see the Democratic Alliance (DA) left out in the cold. De Beer laments everything in South South Africa that is “moer toe", including SOEs, municipalities and the SANDF. He talks about the US’ latest strike against South Africa, and reveals how he would fix the SANDF; but says SOEs, ‘which there is no more saving of”, should be sold off to the private sector. Meanwhile, he counts on next year’s municipal elections to produce new leadership to save bankrupt, non-performing municipalities as the ANC appears incapable of self-correcting. “They have shown themselves not capable and they have had 30 years of trying to be capable and they have absolutely not performed… if the saving of the ANC in the short term has now been the destruction of the country in the long term…That is another debate to be had.” He also gives his take on the Constitutional Court’s decision not to hear AfriForum’s appeal that chanting “Kill the Boer” is not hate speech - and calls on South Africans to be more sensitive on what is socially acceptable.
