In the latest edition of The Sunday Show, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), slams President Cyril Ramaphosa attempts at “peacemaking” between Russia and Ukraine, saying he “couldn't even keep peace in the GNU” and “can't even keep his NEC together”. As for his upcoming meeting with US President Donald Trump, De Beer says: “Trump's got balls. Cyril's got none. Hy het rosyntjies. (He has raisins)”. De Beer describes the alleged assasination attempt on Deputy President Paul Mashatile as “shooting a full-grown elephant bull on the backside, on the ass, with a pellet gun”. He also looks at the current state of the GNU; does a post-mortem on the VAT “fiasco; dissects the spin and bluster put out by African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula; and laughs off the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) call for the fall of Oriana, saying “…they couldn't even do the fall of Brackenfell”. De Beer also uses the latest cases of corruption - and “an animalistic attitude towards gluttony” - to rally a taxpayers’ revolt: “…can you imagine one morning, a citizens national group of more than 10 million…decide: No more money. No more funding”.
