De Beer: Malema, Zuma, Godongwana, Ramokgopa, Mchunu, Schreiber - and the ANC’s “Green Communists”

Loading player...
On the last Sunday Show of 2024, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), issues a stern warning to Julius Malema, the re-elected President of Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), over his latest “derogatory, violent and revolutionary speech”:    “Ons sal jou moer. We will not allow you to destabilise this beautiful country. Law enforcement, Defence Force and Intelligence, they know they have absolutely our support - and we will have their back.” De Beer once again slams President Cyril Ramaphosa’s handling of the BELA Act. However, he has praise for three African National Congress (ANC) Ministers: Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana, Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, and Police Minister Senzo Mchunu. He also hails the work of Democratic Alliance (DA) Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber. Furthermore, De Beer speaks about the “Green Communists” in the ANC, sketches two options for the future of South Africa’s struggling SOEs, and explains why he regards Bitcoin as an “emotional currency”.
