De Beer tells Cyril to grow some… AND give back Gadaffi’s money…

On this Sunday Show with BizNews, United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil De Beer describes how Libya’s late dictatorial despot, Muammar al-Gaddafi, propped up the African National Congress (ANC) government - and predicts - now that it has been confirmed by former Treasurer-General Matthews Phosa - the current Libyan government will not get back millions still “missing” because “there's too much money that has to be paid back by too many people”. De Beer lambasts “gutless” President Cyril Ramaphosa’s delayed response to the deaths of many children from contaminated snacks bought at Spaza shops - and warns that residents are taking the law into their own hands because of the “shortfall” of government action. De Beer tells CR: “You won't inspire me to lead an International Pillow Fighting team against Zimbabwe”. De Beer also slams Justice Minister Thembi Simelane for “seemingly dodging her own justice” over her VBS links. Meanwhile, he urges citizens to take advantage of a judgment that city officials can now be charged with dereliction of duty if their municipal areas are not kept up to standard. He also comments on the latest drama in the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), as well as the Zama-Zama humanitarian crisis.
