- 🍲 The rising cost of living crisis requires action that will shield South Africans and beat poverty.
SA simply cannot be complicit in a war of aggression that now risks undermining our domestic and international priorities.
Watch as DA Leader, John Steenhuisen chats to CNN.
FYI : when the anc says its putting together and independent commission = we will put a bunch of our friends and supporters on a commission to find us innocent
😂😂😂
and give retired judges pensions a massive boost!
So be it. We love Russia.
@@kosiekoos9408Russia loves the manganese mines in south africa more than it loves you.
@@kosiekoos9408Luv russia in the dark lol. Load shedding level 16 coming up...
😂😂😂 what weapons can South Africa supply Russia. We cant even provide electricity to one town for 24 hours .
😅
Exactly....😂
Yes but we can be a port to receive weapons and then distribute them back to Russia when needed. When did the weapons first arrive? And are they being collected? To many questions no answers.
@@samanthaholm9634 yes a way to bypass sanctions.
@@samanthaholm9634 you mean like the american weapons that was stored in isreal and sent to ukraine
The only thing I hate more than the ANC is the US government.
Why is that - because the USA is a true democracy whilst South Africa , Russia China, Cuba etc are all communist constitutions with wide-scale violations of the Universal Declaration of Human rights (the ANC violate at least 1/3rd of them). The USA champions freedom of rights and only criticizes Dictators and Communist constitutions that protect Oligarchs leaders who violate their citizens rights
Then you are beyond helping
@@ziankaradzoski1016 and you must therefore be a communist loving of human right's abuser
👏
Good for you on following alternative media. Unfortunately, you are right about the Deep state infiltration of the US government. Hate is such a strong word, let's rather say we despise the deep state! The US government was more 'lovable' under Donald Trump's control, and the US people are not part of the deep state, just suffering under it.
John, I'm a DA supporter and I believe your party has what it takes to pull SA out of the ANC cesspit. But you have to admit that the US ambassador's utterance were irresponsible and unfounded without any real proof or evidence that arms were loaded or unloaded. He may suspect it. But he should have kept his trap shut. What he's done with just a few words is put South Africa and its citizens under more financial pressure wrt to the current economic climate in SA. Inflation is crazy and rising interest rates are taking its toll on homeowners. More disinvestment risks higher interest rates. If the DA is to lead this country, you'd better start getting a better understanding of basic economics. And you don't need to pander to Americans.
This! 💯
Well the Americans have every right to try make us look bad if they suspect us of something. It should be VERY easy for us to prove our innocence. I suspect the only reason we are now going to have another month's long commission, is to drag it past the elections, because the ANC knows they are guilty.
If it turns out to be false, I will agree with you that they should have kept quiet if they didn't have enough evidence. But they seem to think they do, and they say they told the government about it.
Regarding not having to pander to the US, I think that's where you wrong. John has more economic knowledge than you, else you would realize that, if you think our economy is bad now, wait until we get booted from AGOA due to the ANCs stupidity. John is trying to calm the waters. Maybe pandering a bit, but trying to prevent the worsening of the economy you are complaining about.
Exactly! it's as if his aligning with the real warmongers who stick their dirty noses into everyone else's buss and have been doing so for a long time now.
You can't complain about the economy, and then in the same breath tell the DA they mustn't side with the US, who could deal our economy a death blow. I agree our economy is a mess. That's why, if we need to apologize, that's what we should do. In our situation, we can't afford to have this imaginary sense of pride. We are at best a pitiful sight to the world, and at worst, a laughing stock.
Spoken like a true South African.👏🏽
John needs to stop running to the Americans because it seems like the DA is being used by the USA as an organization to disrupt the ANC's mandate...
Maybe instead of talking about weapons to Russia showing us any policy success stories since the last elections..
We need to go out and vote and get a proper government in place; we want our country back from the ANC mafia and gangsters 😡
To tell you the truth DA is the option we have at the moment. They sound so de-attached from South Africa and South African issues.
@@MlabaB Actually quite contrary, The ANC and EFF are. Who knows what the DA is up to coalition wise, but unlike most all other parties, they have delivered far more to people. In like 2 years 230k people moved to the Cape away from Joburg to get some of that DA service. So yeah. Because they arnt the ruling party, they dont have the powers needed to effect change on the scale many want. The DA for now, has to serve its tax paying voters 1st. Cant do shit without money and there is far too much needed to fix SA, that the DA doesnt have. Why its important to get the ANC and EFF out. Imagine what the DA could do then. But people expect results now, and thats the problem.
My DA councilor cant help my area because he says its next to impossible working with all these ANC and otherwise incompetent idiots. And thats another problem people need to consider, our country's population lacks standards, good work ethic, and disciplinary action isnt taken because all the lazy bums are working together, therefor nobody is held accountable for any correction or none existent service delivery. And then nothing gets done if your the DA who has to work with such people in such a system. Nobody seems to think on ground lvl about things. Its always about what the DA is and isnt doing that people judge them. People are far too ignorant if you ask me. All we can do, is vote and watch how it unfolds.
Ultimately i think if the ANC wins, the nation is going to get so bad, that the ANC and EFF voters are going to tear the country apart, and their leaders too. So win win either way.
@@MlabaB in what way? Is our economy and jobs which he mentions being detached? I fail to understand your statement and I am being genuine when I say that. The DA is the most diverse party in South Africa. I mention this because I am assuming you are refering to the DA not being involved in matters that affect the black majority. So again I ask...what do you mean by detached?
So exactly like the ANC then!! DA has learnt from the best then. 🎉🎉
@@MlabaB True!
South Africa is gonna need help from anyone, the country is in a very bad condition
Yes please send over the marines and remove our corrupt ANC government.
😂😂😂 they got China and Russia great interest. I’m guessing you didn’t know China already all over Africa and making their way from Brazil and working its way investing in Latin American like they are investing in Africa.
@@Finesser-94 Well done China,, by 2035 China will be the richest country in the world..
Sa can’t even supply electricity let alone weapons!🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious 😂
But our ANC government sure can smuggle everything from gold to people
Lol true. People really think Russia arsenal is so depleted they need weapons and ammo from South Africa😂😂😂
Well you don't know opposite the road by me we have a German SA based weapon and munitions manufacturer making some sick hi tech stuff reinmetall munitions used to be somchem back then
Ed John 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully loadshedding during winter will wake up the poor disadvantaged people of this country to stop voting for a corrupt government
Many voting people are not politically informed, or they don't care much about what is really happening in this country. The only thing that comes to mind when they vote is Nelson Mandela.
The gullible people will still vote for the ANC, unfortunately because they are being lied to, and they believe it. I don't know what the future holds for South Africa, but it doesn't look good
But that doesn't mean will vote for DA an offspring of the National Party that will take us back to apartheid regime 🤔
The majority of South Africans that vote for the ANC are used to having no power , no running water and no money. Voting for another party means nothing to them. They are simple enough to still believe the ANC's lies .
I doubt. The old people will continue voting for this failing government 😢
They are anti white. They would rather be poor than have a white man back in charge. They just to stupid .
Simonstown is a small town. Speak to the people who live there. They have eyes and ears
What do you mean Simonstown people would know, it’s a huge brightly red painted ship that came into the bay, the whole of the western cape saw it, even before it came into the naval port. These corrupt government criminals are to dumb and arrogant to do things clandestine.
And ask them what? Who killed a million people in iraq while the DA was sipping on their starbucks and typing on their macs?
Merle you cant see Fowl play if it fell.on your head.
@@kosiekoos9408 DA was barely established when that occurred; hadn't even won the Western Cape yet 🙄
I think this is how the US ambassador got his Intel
I'd still like to know what useful arms or ammunition we could possibly provide to Russia that they couldn't actually produce themselves.
These people are just wasting time, who are we to sell arms to Rossia
No one ever said the arms were manufactured in SA.Most of our weapons are NATO spesifacations and won't meant anything to Russia
I'm confused as well😂 bcoz that country is well nuclear armed
@@truth-Hurts375 We have Russian weapons period
@user295295 normally countries would stockpile ammunition which may be from everywhere around the world anywhere government buys its armor. These could be resold to the Russians in this case. Remember even though the Russians have plenty of armor, these could be depleted considering the magnitude they have been using them in Ukraine. There has never been a country being bombed like Ukraine in recent history, even syria where there is a current conflict, hasn't seen or experienced what Ukraine has gone through. Also realize SA has Denel which is a manufacturer and also ammunition assembling enterprise producing arms. The possibility of selling and shipping armor could be real. But that ambassador could be in shit for ditching diplomatic principles to shoot from the hip.
The ANC has always been two-faced jackals...
Yes and the DA too. Ask th3m to cond3mn american atrocities acroas the world and see more two faces like you so eagerly see in the anc.

So hypocritical indeed
Thank you so much for speaking up for the majority of South Africans.
Speaking for the majority of South Africans. Please lady last time I checked John Steenhuisen will never speak for the majority of South Africans, never.
Thank you John
Oh dear. I am sorry if I offended you. What I will say is I really pray for our beloved South Africa that will find in the future a path to peace and stability.
"Majority of South Africans" my foot.
You are shamelessly sick, seeking to emulate Israel and "finish with the rightful majority" your pirate ancestors found here and lied to this day.
You are NOT and never shall be "the majority" anywhere in Africa, especially!
@rosalindmallory6570 believe me he speaks for the majority.
Salute and respect John Steenhuisen, voetsak anc cadres, voetsak!!
Problem with the DA is they keep on disrupting unity within the coalition plan with all sorts of demands because they are the "official opposition"
That is a problem which will lead to an all out victory for the ANC in next year's election.
It’s not only the ANC/EFF supporting Russia pal. The DA are making the biggest mistake ever.
South Africa is not ANC! 😮
True ANC IS ONLY FOR THEMSELVES THATS IT. Anc lost a supreme Court case to pay their supplier R110 million the court says the sheriff can attach Luthuli house. Why this poor supplier had to go all the way to the Supreme court is ridiculous. But suddenly I hear nothing was the debt paid. Where did they suddenly get R110 million. 🤔.
They mostly are , that is why we are fuc@ed!
If you understand politics and the system of governance in line with the constitution you ought to know about something called separation of powers.
@@samanthaholm9634 The bastards stole it from eskom and the south African revenue service

@@bafanamahlatse1923It's the people.
Pressing the ANC for answers is an exercise in futility snce Ramaphosa himself suffers from foot-Putin-mouth disease.
classic! 😂
John I admire your position on this matter at home. But I think on CNN you could have muted your responses slightly. The US ambassador made unfavorable remarks about SA supplying arms to Russia but he has yet to provide evidence of this allegation and he has since apologized. SA's president has since announced that he will appoint an enquiry under a retired judge to look into the matter.
Remember the US illegally invaded Iraq based on the incorrect suspicion that the country had weapons of mass destruction
If I had a Dollar for every time someone recently used "Weapons of Mass Destruction" to try saying that the US's spying isn't the best in the world...
Also, the people who make decisions don't base it on CNN's interviews
Im also curious to see evidence, and if this does come out to be in fact true, oh my goodness...But these so called inquiries, I wonder if we will ever hear of it...if ever! Cause some of these inquiries takes so looooong that everyone would have forgotten about it or has been swept under the carpet to protect his presidency.
I get your point ! Ay coz now we opening the can of worms. But also our government needs to be exposed. Because trying to expose them internally is not working as we are sufferring under their rule.but we will also suffer if they exposed. Its really tough.
@@nicolepierre2013you don't expose your household to your neighbours.
You stand with your your family and internally fight your family. It john wants to use this non issue to win votes then he must sell this to south Africans and not foreign entities. So what exactly does he intend with this? He wants the US to be against our government? What's the end goal here? Or does he want to be the one to inherit the donations from the US since he claims ANC gets it from Russia?
I'm glad John spoke up it's about time the international community took notice of this corrupt unaccountable bunch of mafia .
Totally disappointed by John, now that the American ambassodor has retracted his assertions what does that make of his credibility. Atleast try and defend your country instead of selling us out, damn!!!
He's a nato puppet. Brics is the best thing that could ever happen to our nation. America is falling. This is why they pushed the proxy war in Ukraine. Putting just retaliated in his people's defense. Usa has a globalism agenda. If da stands with Nato I would rather not vote for them
It's what they know best. The most unpatriotic party in the country by faaar.
100% correct!
Maybe we should be reminded that Ukraine holds US weapons of mass destruction inside its borders and Russia repeatedly warned them to stop NATO arming.
Exactly and no one talks about this ,let's be honest our biggest opposition party the Democratic Alliance are Western government pleasers so they would do anything to please the governments of
*America
*UK
*France and many other fellow European countries.
To put it in short they the child of the national party (apartheid government) ,so in a way one is not surprised but with them/ the DA they claim to be liberal and for all and Everyone's freedom etc .
Ps but how they implement their policies it shows us something else .
How do you know that? If they do, what WOMD do they have?
ANC supporter right?...Have your head examined...
No, the Ukraine does not have US nuclear weapons. It is also not a member of NATO. You have been watching too much RT propaganda
Where is the evidence to support the US allegations. Do we even have sophisticated weapons to give Russia we don't even have a adequate army😂
Yarr the DA is so embarrassing, I thought he was going to speak proper things here
The 2024 election campaign has started 🤣🤣 he is campaigning
@@xman1533 yeah but he doesn't Sound patriotic to his country too the international community .His hate for ANC makes him sound irrational.
@@lelozokwe6393 He wants tarnish south African image under ANC so that investors can take away their companies and then blame the ruling party
Lelo its actually our SA Gvnmnt that should be volunteering as much proof as possible (like ship manifests) to prove the US wrong and to show the world we're innocent.................but we cant because we are guilty
Ask him who arms Isreal against Palestine and if he sees that as "troubling". It's been the world's suspicion that Isreal has been practicing land left and genocide, and that the DA, has been complicit in speaking about it.
Now I finally understand why Post grade 12 qualifications is a big challenge for you John …

Where is the money going...its in the couch! Or better known as the Rusbank!
Well said. America and the world needs to understand SA is NOT ANC. Anc does NOT speak for the south African people
So the DA speaks for south African s.😂😂..
Well said? 😂 American validation ought to be the one of the last things on your priority list, assuming you're an average South African. America (as a nation) has its own problems. They don't care about South Africa's litte ANC, and South Africa's little DA, or "your government" as a whole. They're not going to save you from "yourself" with all they have on their own plate unless you (NOT the ANC/DA) pay for it.
@@zoeanastasia4438 100%
Da can speak for themselves as a minority the reality is.. south Africa is friends of Russia, when the USA was funding and supporting apartheid, Russia stepped up to help the majority of South Africans, and to be clear Ur enemy is not our enemy
USSR never ended apartheid, western sanctions did!
@@gbone7581 learn your history as much the apartheid regime was sanctioned, these colonisers knew the country is going to burn with mk veterans making their way back into
The country, in short the u.s and their apartheid lost, whether u accept this truth or not it's up to u
@@wma5440 United States had a lot more to lose from a burning south Africa at the time, they did not take this decision in Congress because of love, the situation on the ground was also forcing them, remember the apartheid regime sponsored by the US and UK was also fighting a war against communists in Angola, Castro had just brought us 60 000 armed soldiers from Cuba, mkhinto wesizwe also coming back armed, USA and it's Anglo mines were in trouble and they saw the strong will of the ppl and knew apartheid regime was not going to win so please know Ur facts we were on the ground where we're u?
Reason I will never vote for DA, Russia never colonized us, and John is just talking to stain without evidence of arms, what advance weapons does SA have?
The DA completely forgets that we are not in Europe. The west was never a good friend of Africans in general. Ignorance is dangerous. During apartheid, the west supported the white regime in South Africa. It was horror to the black people. Russia supported the black revolution. So, common sense should tell you where black South Africans stand in this matter, and I'm not talking about political parties. The DA, being predominantly white, shows that it does not care about South Africa as a whole, but a certain group of South Africans. The country will never solve it's problems while we are so divided. Ask yourself this question, is the DA saying that NATO should attack South Africa. We all live in this country. If NATO, or the United States embarks on a war against SA, those bombs won't chose color.
DA has shown us there is no diplomacy with them, and it has shown us that they are not at all patriotic. Even if we can all agree ANC is by far the worst government on the planet, what we as SAans can't accept is a government that will sell us out on the international stage.
You can criticize us yes but don't sell us out, he sounded more like an American actor here than an actual south African.
When outsiders attack my family, even thou I know they are totally wrong, I don't just feed them to the wolf's, if possible I'd ask if I can personally deal with them before letting the other party decide their fate
Mandela said , " do to them what was done to the .... "
As a DA supporter...John, your comments here are way too based upon your hate for the ANC (which is your prerogative) but please, could you rather keep South African's in mind first, instead of tattle tailing to Western powers. Your words still have power, and those words could put us South Africans in a bad position by pointing fingers and making the United States feel even more empowered by their claims.
i dont like ANC and politicians at large but i ;dont thing John and others that are pushing this have South Africans in mind this is more about discrediting one another even if it means sacrificing so called small people.
Now the Rand is further going to nosedive, yarrr John
It's dirty politics which are going to harm ordinary citizens not the leaders .
My point exactly, it is appalling that he would sell the country out like this. Country over partisan politics. It is all lies.
The DA doesn't care about South Africa. They want cape independence. They couldn't care less about the rest of the country and its position. They wouldn't know what "South Africans" were if they stood right in front of them.

My question is, if by chance the DA is right and the ANC is "smuggling" weapons to Russia, what will exposing it actually accomplish for South Africa?
The accusation alone has caused many problems for us as citizens, and proving the ANC did give Russia weapons/equipment will just make things worse. Its not like the DA are in charge of SA, they cant change what's happened, sometimes things are better left hidden.
exposure in principle is better than another cover up - the key issue is where the blame lies - those who are guilty must pay the price and be seen for who they really are.......
@@hyltonswemmer4824 But that is my point, who is going to bring them to book even if it is exposed, we've seen time and time again that countries impose sanctions which effect entire populations and not the key decision makers.

Maybe the DA is dick riding the US for some funding.

Sorry John, you're losing the plot here. I voted DA my entire adult life but this is an own goal if i've ever seen one. Pushing amercian talking points - using the american ambassador's words as fact when america's got a track record of manipulating truths to further their own agendas. The fact that they're supporting an apartheid regime in Isreal shows they are not the moral leader as they annoint themselves to be.
You're in charge of the western cape, where nothing has changed for black and coloured communities since you've been in power - how about focusing on them instead? All you're doing is ensuring the ANC remains in power by alienating many of your own voters - you're bleeding support and you're not even aware. I myself, will not vote DA at the next election, nor will I vote ANC. I'll need to think long and hard about my choice, but you've truly disappointed me.
The DA's apparent ignorance about the USA's ongoing skulduggery, courtesy of the Biden Administration, is disconcerting. That said, your claim that nothing has changed in the Western Cape indicates some ignorance on your part. South Africa does need the DA, which in turn could do well by co-operating with a number of non-ANC and non-EFF parties.

While I am specifically concerned that the DA is ignorant of American skulduggery and I essentially share your view, I'm finding it extremely difficult to obtain any meaningful information from other opposition parties concerning the COVID fiasco, the WEF and the move toward a WHO Treaty that will in all likelihood grant the WHO excessive powers and thus destroy our sovereignty and individual human rights, while our Government will have to do as it's instructed, to the detriment of citizens.
We all need to use Dear South Africa, which is Government recognised, to aid interaction with our so-called leaders, and as many of us as possible should obtain and examine the 32-page Draft Treaty between the WHA (World Health Assembly comprising 194 countries) and the WHO, in order to ensure that we aren't deprived of our rights and retain South African sovereignty.
Same here. A DA led government hitched to the U.S. agenda would be disastrous for South Africa. So much so, that I would never vote for the DA again.
Something is seriously off with this party
They hate South Africa and South Africans. They're busy daydreaming about cape independence and somehow think the rest of the country is going to vote for that.
I didn't realise it's the American propaganda channel, and the DA representative who serve western countries not theirs own.
I am on a Navy group and even they were asking when the ship was there, what it was doing in the navy dock
You mean Why the ship was there? Good question, rest assured, you will never get the truth from this evil government
As a citizen of South Africa I know for a fact that the majority of citizens that have awareness of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine condemn this unprovoked act of war by Russia on its neighbour Ukraine! Only a few thousand ANC active members actively support Russia in a population of tens of millions of ordinary citizens the world must now. The ANC is not a popular political party in South Africa anymore due to their corrupt and maladministration of this country.
I would hardly say it's unprovoked.
Where do you get that information?
Are you dreaming or what. So you are saying black majority in this country supported the killing of millions of Iraqi's, Libyian's, Syrians, Vienamese, Afghans and a whole lot more. And i do take that you are aware that during the apartheid era, of which you approved, the Americans and their poodle friends labelled the ANC a terrorist organisation. And this "terrorist" organisation is the one you expect to be in bed with the evil west. Not under the black majority watch, ANC or not ANC.
U know for a fact ... 😮
Anc does not speak for SA.they only speak for themselves. Every deal they make money for themselves NOT SA.
Go DA,, dont let the ANC get away with this!! ANC true colors being shown!! 😂
In history when their was still a white president in our country our military was in the top 5 if he will go for president me with all my heart you will be happy and the economy will move forward.
Lmao learn to differentiate between something that disadvantages the ANC and something that disadvantages ordinary South Africans. The DA clearly don't know the difference and are dead set on dragging the whole country down with the ANC.
@@jeremiahimarwa4405 well he will never be the president of South Africa never😂
HAHAHA MAJORITY DONT SUPPORT ANC STANCE OF NON ALIGNED....GUESS WHAT MAJORITY SUPPORTS AS PER HIM...
@@lee...-cz1xq i understand you but what i was meaning when this country still had a white president our military was even feared at EUROPEAN countries who no not me to decide or you but it's possible for him to be president just saying 😂🤣🤣.
Our police don’t even have bullets or petrol in their cars in SA? So I don’t know where the cash comes from??
Yes... it makes you wonder were all the weapons and petrol the police should have is going, doesn't it?
Well done John , keep kicking that ANC butt hard !😊😀😁
😂😂 they're kicking YOU in the butt this time.
@@zoeanastasia4438 what a cynical troll
Talk to the government. Not the opposition party...
what Government ??
* How can you talk to a government - where the president doesn't know whether or not he wants to remain in the ICC or leave. He woke up with a hangover and can't recall what his official position was.
* How can you talk to a government where a competent president would have been aware of, had a report on, and been able to answer questions about both instances - but this president doesn't.
* How can you talk to a government that needs to find a retired judge to head up a commission... just to give a yes or no answer.
* How can you talk to a government that has had more than 6 months to come up with an answer (and the truth would be nice).
* How can you talk to a government that professes neutrality but actually supports a tyrant and country with a president wanted by the ICC?
* How can you talk to a government that can't even keep the lights on.
John go and stay in the US they will welcome u
So glad u mentioned that much of SA does not support the ANC policies.
Mostly the western part doesn't.
No Mr DA leader. This is not how to relate with the intl media
Washing of our laundry in a foreign country. I like this dude but you are dropping the ball here.
The world must know ANC does not speak for SA but for themselves and their supporters.most are bought in any case!
@@nicolepierre2013well it speaks for their supporters who are the majority, democracy remember?
Keep voting for those whites you must keep in mind that they don't care about this land but only to keep their white supremacist going
Bravo John ! The world needs to start paying attention to what's happening here . He needs to go to the UN next !
@@ofentsejay like i said most are bought

Do you have proof that where were arms on board. Or is just a gossip that everybody spreads.
He says suspicious but my question what is he trying to achieve by this to me he is driving investers away from this country.
@@xman1533 Uhmmm...I think the ANC party has done that already years ago, chasing investors away from investing into this country.
@@xman1533please the Investors are already scared away WE HAVE NO ELECTRICITY AND OUR BEE SUCKS. So this is just the final nail.
@@samanthaholm9634 Is he working for South Africa or against South Africa we still have foreign companies remember that if they leave we all in deep shit because people will loose more jobs regardless the colour of your skin
@xman1533 HE is always for South Africa 🇿🇦. The DA IS THE ONLY TRUE MULTIRACIAL MULTICULTURAL PARTY IN SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦. But How many fires can one put out when the ruling party is so corrupt and thieving and a bunch of liars. Hopefully sanity will reign and we will get a strong opposition coalition in 2024 that share the same policies and ideals as the DA. Eg NO race based employment merit over Melanin. Less red tape to start small business's. Less taxes all round to assist business's. Pro entrepreneurs and business employment. Private power producers that will pay for the development of power and the right to sell it , to assist ESKOM. Pretty much use our taxes for infrastructure at the right fair price so get rid of the ANC CADRE MIDDLEMEN who eg charge R10 000 for knee pads in Eskom. Just pretty much stop the stealing and looting of our taxes to the ANC. USE OUR TAXES TO HONESTLY ASSIST THE RESIDENTS OF SOUTH AFRICA. Unless we achieve this International investment will look to easier developing countries to do business with. We need to wake up and REALISE WE ARE NOT THAT SPECIAL. No one is going to give the ANC 30% of their business to do business in South Africa. Eg Elon Musk Starlink. We represent 0.01% of his starlink business interests? ANC said no to the opportunity as he would not give up 30%. Ridiculous. SO NO STARLINK IN SA.
This man is a sell out. DA is a sell out
Maybe the ship came to pick up the buffaloes that that guy in Somalia bought from squirrel? 🤷♂🐃🐃🐃
Sovereign South Africa. No Allies only business. No participation in Criminalities against Our Nation or any other Nation. To protect and serve Our Nation first and foremost. To provide Sanctuary for those in Danger. One Nation, One Voice. No price tag on our honor. The South African Dream!
I was going to vote for DA
Protect your country John please
He doesn't care about the country.
South Africa needs money and will sell it's resources to the highest bidder.
I bet you failed or never did economics?
@@gbone7581 I am a certified Accountant & Financial Manager 😅😅

I hope the ANC keep upsetting America, there is an election next year and people are ready for change
What president hides money in his house?
A fucking stupid one
John the DA leader has not finished high school and is coming here to tell us about international policy and relations. South Africa is neutral on this war period. The US ambassador must be returned to the US by disrespecting South Africa. We believe in Justice and Sovereignty and we fought for it and we will forever fight for it . America won’t bully us, we will be friends with whomever we choose to be friends with.
South Africa supplies NATO with arms as we speak, why we don’t make noise about that.
Forget about matric we need service delivery papers will not deliver service
Oh you mean like the 30% Dude dont you realise that the average iq amongst South African blacks is 55.
Suddenly they put a small opposition party on the most fake news and he now feel important. Watch the next election and see how his EU backers is ruining his voters support😂😂
Why did the DA vote to remain in BRICS if they don't support Russia?
Because BRICS is not Russia. Airhead
They support the financial side of BRics because it will help our economy grow and develop SA. But they dont support invading other countries, big difference.
@@nicolepierre2013 By that definition the DA should not be worried...hopefully whatever we gave the Russians will help our economy grow and develop.
@@TheRadRingo the problem is the normal SAs dont see any money from any illicit deals made with Russia. The money does not get filtered into the country but straight into the governing parties pockets.
@NP our problems run so deep its hard too keep track. Be safe my fellow South African.
True leadership never forgotten the background, John is not a leader,he is apupet of the west,True leader defend his own country not a sellouts, DA will never rule SA no matter what
The DA needs to stick to the hard facts. More facts, less emotion & rhetoric. The fact is that there is no forthright denials.
How astute of you. There are no forthright denials because the ANC are not forthright people.
As for the facts, give it some time
John I like you stop being a doos
DA is one party I'll never vote for!
Anc and eff bunch of cretins I would never vote for either,
Who cares about you.
I'm not worried continue to vote for corruption.
@@tonythebomb4147 okay
I hope people in the DA who voted for this guy will be happy after next year election results.
Im sure anyone in the DA is better than anyone else in the ANC,dont you think?
I'd rather have this than the ANC. They've had their time and they've shown their intent.
@@springbok4015 their intent haven't changed. White South African will never change
@@markboucher1549 We do not operate a two-party system in this country. The DA is not the only opposition and will not be getting my vote, at least at the National level. At best I can relegate them to local. I could never vote for a party with such terrible geopolitical policies and one that panders like we are not a sovereign nation.
@@lest3136
Unfortunately, our own ANC-run Government is behaving as though SA isn't a sovereign country. Citizens need to awaken from their slumber and stand together against tyranny, which is on the increase.
Wow. DA how to burn your country like that without evidence. Phill collins would say 'i see your true colors'.
Talking about showing colors: The President of South Africa will come to realize the world is not a pre-school playground.
Thank you for speaking on our behalf.
"your behalf"
Yes, your behalf, definitely not mine.

@@hyltonswemmer4824 that's the point, there is no law that bans south Africa from selling weapons to Russia, but the country that is acting as the police of the world is USA, not any international organisation.

People that dont want war on our soil because if weapons were sold all hell will break lose and CHINA AND RUSSIA will do nothing about it
Would you take the ANC serious? Considering the mess they got the whole country and everyone living in it into.
