The Sunday Show: Brad Steyn - Rogues, Rands & Ramaphosa: SA’s Collapse in real time

Loading player...
In the latest Sunday Show, Chris Steyn talks to Security Expert Brad Steyn about another tumultuous week in South African politics: He slams the “dangerous deflection” used by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his handling of the US export tariff crisis and a Presidency “more concerned with BRICS handshakes than backbone diplomacy”. Steyn also warns of dirty tricks to undermine the whistleblowing KZN General “Lucky” Mkhwanazi. “There is a rogue SAPS investigation underway, meaning the cover-up is beginning. The goal is to undermine reformers like Mkhwanazi before their testimony even sees daylight. This is incredibly concerning because the same tactics used in SAPS purges, intelligence shutdowns and factional suppressions happened under the Zuma administration. So it comes straight out of this ANC playbook.” As for the opulent lifestyle of Deputy President Paul Mashatile, Steyn says: “… insiders… now fear that his 2027 presidential bid is toxic and triggering a full potential ANC leadership collapse”. Steyn further warns of “foreign capture” saying: “…we’re not just dealing with ANC incompetence, we're dealing with foreign intelligence infiltration. Right here… Iranian agents, Russian operatives and other foreign intelligence entities are being allowed to operate freely under the blind eye…”
