In the latest Sunday Show with Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), speaks about Budget negotiations threatening the Government of National Unity (GNU) as Deputy President Paul “Slimy” Mashatile is rumoured to be leading talks with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) for support that would see the Democratic Alliance (DA) left out in the cold. De Beer laments everything in South South Africa that is “moer toe", including SOEs, municipalities and the SANDF. He talks about the US' latest strike against South Africa, and reveals how he would fix the SANDF; but says SOEs, ‘which there is no more saving of”, should be sold off to the private sector. Meanwhile, he counts on next year's municipal elections to produce new leadership to save bankrupt, non-performing municipalities as the ANC appears incapable of self-correcting. “They have shown themselves not capable and they have had 30 years of trying to be capable and they have absolutely not performed… if the saving of the ANC in the short term has now been the destruction of the country in the long term…That is another debate to be had.” He also gives his take on the Constitutional Court's decision not to hear AfriForum's appeal that chanting “Kill the Boer” is not hate speech - and calls on South Africans to be more sensitive on what is socially acceptable.

In his latest Sunday Show with BizNews, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement, begs billionaire Elon Musk to put African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula in rocket and send him to another planet because “everything he says is absolutely nonsensical”. He predicts a hard fall for Johannesburg “kryptonite” Mayor Dada Marrero, who is under fire for using “influencers” as praise singers to cover up for poor service delivery in the decaying city of Egoli. He speculates that the National Prosecuting Authority's (NPA) reconsideration of its decision not to take a fraud and perjury case against Deputy President Paul Mashatile to trial, could be a way to take him out of the running for President. He once again warns that former president Jacob Zuma's MKP should not be underestimated - this time after his party got a foothold in the Western Cape by taking Middelpos from the ANC with 44% in last week's by-election. De Beer also comments on the Battle for the Budget that will have to be fought line item by line item. Lastly, he speaks about the SANDF's planned withdrawal from the DRC - and gives the backstory of the wings that have disappeared from our top general's chest.

In this edition of the Sunday Show, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM) Neil de Beer talks about the future of the Government of National Unity (GNU) being reset by President Cyril Ramaphosa and Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen over a private lunch; the apparent disunity between Freedom Front Plus Leader Pieter Groenewald and Western Cape Leader Corné Mulder as yet another DA Mayor is ousted. De Beer lists the Cabinet Ministers and Deputies who are governing under a cloud; and slams former President Jacob Zuma's MKP appropriating the Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) name, and SANDF Chief General Rudzani Maphwanya wearing honorary Recce and 44 Parachute Battalion badges. (He calls it “stolen valour”, and challenges the general to a tandem parachute jump). De Beer comments on the diplomatic row between Rwandan President Paul Kagame and “our limping, gutless president” - and lays into Defence Minister Angie Motshekga. He expresses concern about attacks on the highly efficient KZN Provincial Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. And, of course, he has a pointed message for ESKOM after the unexpected load shedding this weekend.

Tensions are escalating in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where Rwandan-backed M23 rebels are battling government forces for control of the strategic city of Goma. Reports indicate thousands of Rwandan troops may have entered the region, heightening fears of a broader regional conflict. With South Africa playing a key role in African peacekeeping efforts and President Cyril Ramaphosa already engaging in diplomatic talks with Rwanda's Paul Kagame, what influence can Pretoria bring to the table? And what does this crisis mean for regional stability, trade, and South Africa's role in African diplomacy. Bloomberg reporters Simon Marks and Michael Kavanagh, who's covered the region for 20 years, join Jennifer Zabasajja to explain who the key players in the conflict are, what chance there is for a ceasefire and the risk this could spread into a wider regional conflict.
