Neil de Beer: “Moegoe” Cyril, Enoch’s cash forest, the Trump card & the ANC from “hope to putting the rope”…

Loading player...
United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil de Beer defies death threats to be back on the Sunday Show with BizNews - and says: “You are not going to silence us. In actual fact, tomorrow I will buy a bigger megaphone.” He goes on to speak about the return of racism to South Africa; the charge of incitement to violence he has laid against Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) MP Andile Mngxitama; and describes the African National Congress's evolution from Nelson Mandela's reconciliation to Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa's “retribution”. As for US President Donald Trump’s retribution against South Africa, De Beer says it is not driven by the land redistribution issue, but by support for Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and BRICS membership, and calls President Cyril Ramaphosa a “moegoe” if he thinks he can “kick America to touch….let the white Afrikaners that want to leave, leave….and then replace America and the minorities with China”. De Beer also takes a deep dive into the perilous state of the country’s finances - and slams Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana as Treasury is negotiating a new R27 billion loan from the World Bank.
