De Beer: The GNU v/s the Deep State… & international crime cartels

Loading player...
“There is a scenario of a dark side within the GNU that is going to do everything possible to break this Government of National Unity.” That is the warning from Neil De Beer, the President of United Independent Movement (UIM). In this interview with BizNews, he reacts to charges that Democratic Alliance (DA) Federal Chair Helen Zille is acting like a “parallel” president and endangering the GNU. De Beer says a possible collapse of the GNU “is going to have to be something that will have to be discussed and I'm telling you right now, the DA, the Freedom Front, the IFP and all partners are absolutely also talking daily, in my opinion, about that scenario, which is the worst case.” De Beer also gives his take on President Cyril Ramaphosa’s opening address to Parliament; former Intelligence Minister Lindiwe Sisulu’s statement that basically everybody was bugged; as well as the growing threat of international criminal cartels which are “the kind of people that put heads on stakes and bodies on top of your house”.
