In this week's POV Political Feature, Phemelo is joined in studio by the United

unacceptable levels of corruption; a poor economy; staggering joblessness;
increasing crime and dangerous lawlessness; crumbling infrastructure and
unacceptable load shedding, as well as the illegal influx of people seeking refuge
and resources from the state.
