In this week's POV Political Feature, Phemelo is joined in studio by the United
Democratic Movement (UDM) leader Bantu Holomisa who unpacks the party's
manifesto ahead of the May elections. Holomisa launched the party’s manifesto in
Midrand, on Saturday, saying the main causes behind the disconnect were
unacceptable levels of corruption; a poor economy; staggering joblessness;
increasing crime and dangerous lawlessness; crumbling infrastructure and
unacceptable load shedding, as well as the illegal influx of people seeking refuge
and resources from the state.
