The NdB Sunday Show: Lauren Evanthia - “Scrambling” Cyril, Witness I & a “criminal enterprise” government

Loading player...
In today’s edition of the NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn and Lauren Evanthia, the founder of the Organic Humanity Movement, the hot topic is President Cyril Ramaposa’s urgent court bid to try and stop Parliament from conducting his impeachment inquiry. “And now the president is obviously scrambling. He knows what this means. If anything, this is almost an admission of guilt on his part…(and) how is it gonna hurt the ANC during the elections? I think that is probably at the forefront of his mind…if they want to hold on to that 45.6%, they cannot afford to have this massive scandal with the president.” Evanthia also dissects the testimony of Witness I before the Madlanga Commission. “The whole South African government for me appears to be an entire criminal enterprise.” She further looks at the biggest lack of service delivery horror stories, and gives her take on the defection journey of Neville Delport from the African National Congress (ANC) to the Democratic Alliance (DA) and on to the Patriotic Alliance (PA). Lastly, she examines the likely consequences for South Africa should Nigeria carry out its threat of retaliation over South Africa’s handling of the migrant crisis.
