The NdB Sunday Show: Lauren Evanthia - Heat on Hill-Lewis, “Cat” cuts a deal, Mbalula blames Zuma, Jacinta’s agenda…

In the latest edition of the NdB Sunday Show with Chris Steyn, Lauren Evanthia, the Founder of the Organic Humanity Movement (OHM), talks about fears that the National Shutdown this week could spark unrest with African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula accusing former President Jacob Zuma of fuelling anti-immigrant violence: “..when we reach a point when…systems start to crumble because of government failure and the lack of ethical leadership, what happens is that society starts to take over. And it takes over in a very chaotic way because we don't have a replacement for government failure on such a large scale.” Commenting on the SG’s defence of the ANC Speaker of Parliament over her handling of the Phala Phala matter, she fumes: “..people can hide behind parties...the party politics in South Africa is in my opinion the number one biggest stumbling block towards our progress as a nation”. As for tenderpreneur Cat Matlala cutting a plea deal and turning State Witness, Evanthia charges: “…these commissions of inquiry that keep on happening are just a distraction to the fact that we're not actually going for solutions in this country. Those with power are not implementing solutions.” Also on the agenda is new Democratic Alliance (DA) leader, Geordin Hill-Lewis, under fire already because Cape Town has lost its clean audit status, and the former leader of the party, John Steenhuisen, is spewing bile because he feels betrayed by his erstwhile friend.
