Two days of nail-biting drama in the Government of National Unity (GNU) is on top of the agenda in today’s Sunday Show with Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement, and journalist Chris Steyn. After another round of sabre rattling by the Democratic Alliance (DA) that is once again staying in the GNU to “prevent a Doomsday Coalition’, De Beer says: “We are already in a Doomsday Coalition…because the ANC is sitting in the current GNU and they're running it as if it is their own. So what is the difference between a ANC-EFF-MK coalition partnership agreement than the current GNU that just gets overridden? In the current GNU, you just get told to shut up, but in the other side, you just steal more…” Talking BizNews viewers through the exposure of Deputy President Paul Mashatile’s Lotto license links; the arrests of Crime Intelligence (CI) boss General Dumisami Khumalo, four other generals and two brigadiers; and those of a dozen South African National Defence Force (SANDF) soldiers in connection with the murder of a Hawks investigator, De Beer says South African “is not becoming a Banana Republic. We are Fruit Salad. Klaar. We are sommer ’n Fruit Salad, not just a Banana.” As for the latest visit by Afrikaner leaders to Washington, De Beer warns that US President Donald Trump seems to have moved on to bigger issues. “We, as South Africans, will have to find our own way.”
