In this latest edition of the Sunday Show, Neil de Beer slams ESKOM's farcical explanation for how the country was plunged into Stage 6 Loadshedding overnight. He says the much-maligned former CEO André de Ruyter was right - and warns that the “litany of absolute destruction” continues. De Beer also gives the background to how South Africa narrowly escaping a 2% VAT hike after an hastily convened urgent Cabinet meeting resulted into the unprecedented postponement of the Budget speech that could have taken the country to “revolution”. He speaks of former Police Minister Bheki Cele's legacy of crime in the wake of the latest statistics - recording 73 murders and 131 rapes every day - and calls for the head of the National Commissioner. De Beer describes how President Cyril Ramaphosa keeps triggering US President Donald Trump - and stresses that the discord between the US and South Africa will not end “until this president of ours comes back to reality”.  He also comments on the election of veteran politician Corné Mulder as the new leader of Freedom Front+, and states: “I think the DA is going to sit right up and they're going to have to now understand that the person that was fighting behind the other person is now the person leading that organisation.
