De Beer: SA - a new radical, separatist State

Loading player...
The South African political era has now moved into a radical and separatist State. That is the warning from Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM). In this interview with BizNews, De Beer says: “MK, ANC, EFF, PA are no doubt radical parties. They are a radical entity with a radical philosophy of national, Socialistic, and may I call an overextension of capitalised ideology.” De Beer describes “the blood on the floor” at the Indedependent Electoral Commission’s (IEC) Counting Centre after the "Atom bomb of MK", and gives his take on the coalition and power sharing talks currently being held behind the scenes. He dissects various power configurations, including a Government of National Unity of multiple parties like the ANC, the DA, the IFP, the Freedom Front Plus, and the ACDP. He also speaks about last night’s urgently convened Multi-Party Charter meeting which he chaired.
