The DA and GNU - will they stay, or will they go?

Quo Vadis, GNU?
With the ANC searching for support outside of the GNU and the DA approaching the courts to interdict the national Budget's proposed 0.5% VAT hike, it seems as if the days of the GNU are numbered. We ask News24 political editor Andisiwe Makinana for her take on the matter. Then we discuss the newly announced Trump tariffs and what those mean for South Africa's economy. How does the 31% export tariff affect our pockets? Last, we take a look at Moonchild Sanelly who has been featured and praised by Elton John on his podcast.
