De Beer: FF+ - The new “Big Brother”, Blood in “training camp” waters, Brutal uprising in the UK

Loading player...
In his weekly dose of commentary on local, regional and international politics, United Independent Movement (UIM) President Neil de Beer analyses the Freedom Front Plus move to shun the Democratic Alliance (DA) in favour of the African National Congress (ANC) in Oudtshoorn. He describes the FF+’s Corné Mulder as “a very astute politician” and says his party - with its new partnership with the ANC - is positioning itself as an “alternative for future government”. He also has praise for Police Minister Senzo Mchunu who is “calm, cool, and very structured and collected”. As for the latest raid on a firearm training facility, he says there is no law that stops South Africans from being trained to protect themselves against criminals who are using “weapons of war”. Another Minister who gets his approval is Home Affairs’ Leon Schreiber who “actually understands” law and order. On the international front, De Beer looks at how the conflict in the Middle East has spilled over into  Europe and the UK “where they have had the most brutal uprisings” - and warns: “And this is making the people across the world go, if this thing kicks off, this is going to be World War III.”
