- It’s been three months since entrepreneur and political activist Rob Hersov shared his perspectives with the BizNews tribe. He does so here with trademark frankness in a thoughtful interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg. The straight-shooting canary in SA’s political coal mine shares insights gleaned from his own experience and wide range of contacts. As always, when Hersov talks - it’s a must-watch.

Hello from Australia, my 2 favourite people, Gayton Mckenzie and Robb Hersov..go PA, the PA
will shine at the next election because today Mckenzie has proven to the people of SA what a great politician he is..
Gayton is an Excellent Mediator 👌🇿🇦👏
@@CeciliaAdrio-ek5iq he is a person of the people
I love biz news especially with alec hogg
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦We love our Country and all these leaders must start acting accordingly -
The ANC and their various factions only love themselves. And money.
@@joecruisertotally money be-F
Listening to Rob during the last year or so singing praises for Gayton, I believed he was off track about him. Well, did I get that one wrong! Rob was spot on, Gayton is fast becoming a national treasure.
Thank you, Johan. I took a beating over three years, but Gayton is "one of us"
@robhersov2486 yes, clearly Rob. Thanks for responding.
By the way, I worked for Anglovaal for 22 years, fantastic memories!
As a white conservative. I will vote PA next time
Great to see our favourite BN guest Rob Hersov
A rather reserved Rob Hersov hey?
Straight talking persona ...Hersov
Rob H and Gayton Mac truly are a rare few of the Donald JT's who we have and absolutely need here making SOuth AFrica great again ....From Cape town - Shalom
Hi Rob. So good to have you back ❤❤.
You and Minster Mckenzie will make an awesome team together with all the other Good guys, like Action SA, FF+ and others.
Awesome remarks bru
You are part of the global cabal.You are here to push their agenda
Mr Rob is so right for the DA to stop their allergic for the PA together in 5 years with the voting they will get a majority and safe SA.we have asked for this many. times. Please DA bring this forward.
Stop fooling yourself DA will never remove the ANC, parties like the MK are the threath to the ANC and DA.
The guys in gnu are doing an excellent job
I agree with you, give them more time and working together will bring peace and safty, more jobs will come and food in tables !!
Nice to see Rob again. Love him and his output! Thank you1
Love Rob. One of the wisest men I have ever listened to. Do not ever desert us Rob.
Gayton Mckenzie loves people I've met him a couple of times. I'll vote for him again.
Mc G is the right person for the current situation of the country ....Nathi Mthethwa is in deep nonsense ...G is proving him to stupid
I will most certainly vote Gayton, wherever he goes. Jesus bless and protect him🙏🇿🇦🇮🇱🙏🇿🇦🇮🇱🙏🇿🇦🇮🇱🙏🇿🇦🇮🇱
EFF are clowns... BUT please comment on the lame (re) - Action SA, acting pedantically by walking away from coalition. Thereby giving EFF a foot in the door. Our Mayor Celliers Brink IS a dedicated, non corruption man....its like, 1 step forward, 6 back. SO critical infrastructure etc are not able to get the desperate attention it needs.
In defense of the DA... The ward Councillor work 24/7!!! All the others have done ZERO
Said it all along Gayton for President 🎉🎉🎉
This guy is amazing
We need politicians that are South African at their very soul, that oozes immense love for both country and its people, now and into eternity. South Africa deserves its place in the pantheons of the greatest nations on this planet. Our history says so, our potential screams that it be so. We need politicians to give South Africans a chance to be that.
100% Correct! Time to stand together !
Lol ask your ancestors, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
In my humble opinion I would suggest that the DA are in China to talk about food production and exports!
Agree.
Im warming to Gayton MacKenzie as well.I love how he goes for the red berets and MK.
Funny enough, his actions and bravery to physically walk through Robert's Circle(Westbury) without SANDF support or advanced law enforcement(not done since the 1950s) has actually caused skilled mercenaries that are affiliated with the 26s/27s/Fast Guns and Varadors to have a presence around vulnerable farms that supply our listed retail companies to stop race-based killings and the ANC is aware now that Gayton can be backed by individuals powerful enough to wipe out the ANC, EFF and other hateful organizations in SA due to the fact that he has a constituency with logical and patriotic people that actually believe in Gayton. He is iconic and I'm so grateful that he is doing what he is doing while staying consistent and unfiltered for the bigger picture in this amazing country we are in.
The EFF and the MK are racist, delusional, falsely-entitled and terrible people that have no say thanks to the PA, DA and VF+ people who actually evolve and advance our country with their 1st world type management/approach of their departments which is what SA tax payers deserve and that's facts. Hopefully this comment doesn't get deleted as it has 0% racist connotations and 100% facts.
May God bless Rob , I wish there were more powerful business people with he's gumption to make a difference for good .
Instead they mostly suck up to the commie ANC and its various sibling parties .
Dont forget dr groenwald with correctional services.
In the opening statement, replace PA with FF+ and that entire statement would still be 100% accurate. The problem with the DA is that they never embraced multi party politics. They see any compitent party as a political threat rather than an ally. They're stuck in a two party mindset.
And they must retire Helen. She is a wrecking ball for the DA
The DA are arrogant and it’s embarrassing. Many years ago I supported them to the extent that I was an observer at a vote counting station over to national elections, they have lost my support. They rely on their mantra of being the only viable alternative… when in practice they are self absorbed and power hungry. They need to move with the times and act is SA’s best interests and not their own.
You guys have not remembered what China did in Botswana and Zambia, road building between Gabs and Francistown, Chimbisi metals in Zambia. Wake up SA😢😢😢
I was busy thinking about that during my foreign policy analysis class. 🤦🏾♀️
Look at Zimbabwe with the chinese issue.
South Africa is not looking for China to build infrastructure for them like in Zambia. They are looking for trade partners. SA can still build infrastructure on its own.
Trade is good. Just be smart.
Who is working in the chinamalls in RSA? Your brothers and sisters? WAKE UP.
Imagine minister Rob and minister Gayton in our government. Wow! What a great match. President and deputy President 😅
😂
Once an activist always an activist
Really been impressed by Mr Mckenzie. Looks really authentic and compassionate.
I love Rob❤
Gayton is a 'doer' I like him very much
Voting for convicted criminals, is the reason our government is riddled with corruption.
All we need is the EFF out of this country
They dying... 😂
EFF is no longer a problem...
MK is giving me chestpains
@Onella-mv1hc Mk is also a blessing in this time. It helped to make ANC weak. Neither ANC nor MK will get more than 50%. DA and other parties will form a GNU in future and MK and ANC will ne weaker.
@@muchtruth you're right...
but still MK is giving me sleepless nights 😭😭🙌
U can hate Rob harsov the way u want. But Rob is good 👍 when it comes to doing his homework. If Rob speaks, he is always on point in most cases.
I find the fact that Steenhuizen visited China VERY interesting - let me not say more! Mckenzie has my support!
What is interesting for you about Steehuizen visiting China.
@@MuzorewaRatshikuni If I mentiion the trurh about all 4 major parties ie ANC, EFF, MK & DA & their funding I will probably get arrested!
Now that they have met Xi they will have seen for themselves if China is a good or bad thing for RSA. Better this than condemning.
@rosemarywheller9137 regretfully a typical feminist answer - both short term & emotional answer!
As always EXCELLENT.
GAYTON and GROENEWALD ARE AMAZING! THE REST😢
Leon should be the leader of the DA
Or could be Siviwe Gwarube. If she makes manages to successfully reform the education system or start seeing positive changes, we could be looking at the next Federal Leader of DA and maybe the next president if DA beats ANC nationally in 2029
@vuyo6620 That would be a disaster
When DA ministers are meeting Xi it's brilliant but anybody else is crazy 😂😂😂
Perhaps it's smart for any minister who is not stashing cash in their pockets to meet Xi?
@@NickStersonchina can be a good eg around corruption ...xi don't take nonsense
John is apparently way ahead of Xi😂😂😂
Despite his ‘resignation’, Robbie is back. Some people can’t resist the limelight
He said he won't be campaigning anymore. Interviews he is still open to.
....doubt he's seeking the limelight....he clearly enjoys interviews and discussions on SA in general. Popularity isn't his objective.
Herman Mashaba is becoming, "whatever keeps me relevant, i will take it" kind of politician.
He is quick to point fingers but look at the messed he created in Joburg
The road was paid for, not completed. They created work,,,,only for the Chinese. PLEASE WAKE UP.😢😢😢
Really enjoy BizNews. 👍
Yo President Gayton you are a Great Blessing to South Africa Press
We love gayton because his foundation is on Jesus Christ
If Min. Gayton keeps going like he does now he will get so many more votes. I think DA will lose so much votes.
I am done voting DA in future. Gaytor is sincere and I believe given this position by God to help change SA. ANC needs to read the writing on.t h e wall. They have been found wanting (big time) and their kingdom has been taken from them. More ground wil be taken soon. GOD ordained move.
So you’d rather vote for a man convicted of armed robbery 😂
It is necessary to be a Catholic to be saved.
Rob is the most goodlooking, well-spoken, truthful South African speaker I've seen and heard in years. Thanks, Rob!!
It isn't that the Rand is getting Stronger, it's the Dollar getting Weaker / losing Value...👀
True
R17.83 to $1
R19.72 to €1
R23.29 to £1
You have always been impressive Kersov ... Keep going!
Thank you for your insight and excellent analysis !
Stop attacking the DA all the time, please!
Helen is a put off. Many DA members must throw their hands in the air when she tweets.
@jeanscott1940 many of us appreciate the DA's governance in places like Cape Town, Umngeni / Howick etc, however many in DA are arrogant and insensitive and have very little relational / emotional intelligence.
It helps to get out of our enclaves, stop drinking only 1 brand of Kool aid and engage with and listen to South Africans with other cultures and perceptions.
@biznews,
@RobHersov
As long as the majority of South Africans especially youth remain without a meaningful role in workplaces, be it as part of entrepreneurial self employment, employees, working the land etc they remain vulnerable to populist out of touch communist types of solutions touted by scheming populist politicians.
If we love the accumulation of money, power etc more than life and people then our greed and selfishness will be our downfall.
We need God's spirit and wisdom and transformative change. It's happening in small ways in many places with positive impacts in people's lives
Why not. Remember, they asked us to vote them with guise of certain things being done. The municipal elections, the slogan was we get things done & the ward I live in is still looking rubbush. 2nd slogan rescue SA is still to be seen. My ward councilor & ward councilors except one do little to nothing except report it & send a ref number.
@@Phumz7946That’s ANC #cadrepropaganda. She was the only honest person wrt Gauteng post elections negotiations including every single journalist and analyst that weren’t able to criticise the ANC and let Lesufi BS his way with 10X the airtime. One of many examples.
I dont know why Rob is so popular..i cant listen without being irritated.
Me too, it's all Gayton this, Gayton that
People are always attracted to controversy.
@@siyamcelabewana6099that's not true u know. Facts say it...if you don't know why Gayton is so popular then I rest my case
@@ikgothule6463
McKenzie was found guilty of armed robbery and sentenced to 17 years in prison.
He was also a notorious gang leader.
Yes, I know he’s served his time.
The fact is, this man has lived a life most of us have never known.
He has lived a life of violent crime.
Perhaps he has turned his life around. I certainly hope so, because he is now a Cabinet Minister.
I just can't shake the feeling that we're only seeing one side of McKenzie right now.
I hope I'm wrong, but I feel uneasy...
@@bevturner2258ALL THE DEVIL CAN DO IS TO REMIND PEOPLE OF THERE PAST BUT WE KNOW HIS FUTURE 😅😅😅😅🎉
I appreciate straight talking no BS ppl, thanks Rob.... Steenhuizen needs to grow 'some'
Gaytons HONESTY ❤❤❤❤
...one day, you will be surprised. A clue, Patrice Motsepe.
@@SpencerCourtislaughable
@@SpencerCourtis rich men chase money nothing else
Rob you are a formidable voice (which the timbre of is so good 😊) . Fantastic very very enlightening to listen to your hands on, ears on the ground political financial plus intelligent knowledge of our "wonderful" beautiful country
Keep up your tireless pursuits
Alec wow!!! your interviews for years and years interesting researched well. You are a wealth of information, great listening. Continue to continue
The DA needs to come down their arrogant but fake throne.
To be honest as a Christian. I believe in unity and this is what God blesses-unity. Coming together and loving one another and building this beautiful country together. Not attacking each other. No one is righteous, we all have our own flaws. we all have our weaknesses and strengths 🙏🏽.And that is why we need each other.
The government is just a big pensionfund for all the caders
DA in China ? how ironic lol
DA suppose to be in US or Israel
There can be no doubt da has put their money on the table, theyve saved rsa, thank heavens.
Saved or sold?
@@AyandaMbulali Good question.

@@berenecewessels6543 okay then. You are entitled to your own opinion. In my view "GNU is a reversal of black emancipation progress made since 1994.
So true about the DA's arrogant high horse.
At least they don't steal .
Believe y the are corrupt too. They just hide it well. @@RodneyErnstzen
Finding the problems within the various departments was never going to be the issue. The real test will be in 2-3 years time, when these new ministers will have to show the people what they have actually accomplished ito making lives better.
@@DirkCoetzee1982 and that's why they need to stand and work together as they must do it for the people
Rob what a smart man, his analogies of people organizations economy and mostly politians is usually spot-on and saying it directly like his friend Gayton whom he has earmark as throughout his speeches as a man to watch now makes sense.
Biz News a great platform for a great group of thinkers.
Keep it up.
Rob you have a lot to say, you dont really take part in the "game". TAKE PART SO WE CAN NOTICE A DIFFERENCE😂😂
True, I agree
I doubt he will join the game. Remember he made a huge hullabaloo about going to Luthuli House once
When chased by ANCYL members on the streets of Jozi he ran for his life😂😂 It was so funny
I have followed his life since his spell in caseration what an amazing turn around so impressed wishing him well .🎉
Steenhuusen needs to focus on 1 thing. Either the head of the DA or the MP position he's been appointed to.
Sadly it is valueable time lost ! Get together likeminded people and put the country first !
He loves the Springboks. That is enough for SA.
Zuma and Hellen Zillie must stay out of politics.
Why attack the DA all the time!!!!
Always got to blame something or somebody... BUT never can see the trees for the woods... DUMB
Ok I hope you are in touch with the news in WC D A has been involved in many. Unknown tenders and dealings which they denied and it's out there now after years of denial so please,they re Not above anyof the others.
Great session, good show.
Steenhuizen must look after SA interests first. Not the USA. The dominant gorilla will fall soon.
Man such an uneducated response. If he is successful in his overseas endeavors SA will make more money due to trade agreements. Has he ever given you reason to doubt him?
@@danielcillie1856 Yeah he has. He doesn't seem to see value in education.
The love Rob has for Gayton is unbelievable. I find it hard to trust Gayton. He's an ANC darling and just look at Joburg. Mashaba will forever be on the learning curve because he's spineless.
I enjoy Gayton as much as the next person, but the right side if history?
D A has lost touch with ordinary South Africans.Helen Zille is losing votes for DA and needs to lesve.
Get rid of the HZs in the DA. This has to happen . Then the reorganisation of the party should begin.. Include Musi , Gayton and Herman, IFP et al to rebuild a new progressive party. Land reform must be an accepted reality for the people to see true change. Come on guys.. Rob and Alec have it on point.
Except Herman Mashaba,he is a flip flopper and untrustworthy but then again,he IS a politician albeit a bad one.
You mentioned all of the idiots. The DA lost votes under Musi's leadership. We don't have time for someone who want white people to feel guilty and who is woke. Get people in a party who want to work and create jobs
This character was an ANC backer at one stage !
He is a Flip flopper like many these days
Do not throw oom Pieter away. If anyone can, he can!
Agree totally with you . He is a smart human being .
Wonderful (slowly) evolving centrist grouping. 💪
DA is seriously arrogant and that is going to be their downfall.
Arrogance started with the ANC... F wake up
Didn't Hersov say he is no longer going to be in the public eye?? he he he he he he he he ehe he...
I do not blame him, after the elections that made the ANC to be almost 40%, I would also be hopeful of the future and give my support!
If Herman collapses Twane ASA is finished
Love it! Things are turning.
Rob lobbying for his business pals again.
AND🙄🙄🙄🙄
America is in decline, don't doubt that. South Africa would do well not to become a minion of the West. A fine balance needs to be struck considering that SA is not strong enough to align completely with any 1 side
It will be interesting to see if the DA will ever enter Russia when the BRICS summit goes to that country😎
Who can forget Steenhuisen's comments when he was in Ukraine in 2022
Brics is eating us, life of living between super powers is not giving in to iether
Great interview thank you
I live in a area where the voters voted for Gayton party he's a threat to Da
Rob, "From your mouth, to GOD's ears"
Oh please. Smaller parties crying anti DA. Grow up cry babies.
Gayton for president
Why does no one discuss the influence of the Kazarian mafia on world events or the emergence of the 4th industrial revolution and how they affect our freedom and individual rights?
Exactly! Funny how every American president since and including Ronald Reagan have signed in the noahide laws. Ronald Reagan also signed away legal liability for all jab manufacturers. The "health authority " who....supplied menadione..(synthetic form of vitamin k), free to Africa for injection into right thigh of all newborn babies, and the studies that show the dangers of menadione, still coming out.
He really is the darling to the relevant masses and i truly align myself with his party 💪
Chris Pappas needs to lead the DA at some point. Steenhuizen just don't have broad enough appeal. DA will lose with him at the helm
I humbly admit being wrong about Gayton, in general. But, I do believe we need clearer rules as to who qualifies to represent the people of SA in the National Assembly. Gayton was a convicted armed robber. Surely this would have disqualified him in most democracies around the world. But as a person I think he speaks to the millions of young men in SA who turn to crime. He is a healthy role model for rehabilitation.
Only in South Africa!
I thought I was the only one to have misgivings about McKenzie.
The man was found guilty of armed robbery and sentenced to 17 years in prison.
In actual fact he served less than half of his sentence.
This man has lived a life of violent crime and he was a notorious gang leader.
Now he’s a Cabinet Minister.
To be fair, he seems to be doing a good job, so far.
That said, I have an uneasy feeling about him.
I hope I’m wrong!
… comparing to Bush jnr and Tony Blair??… Gayton is an angel in comparison
@@elsadupreez4324
Unfortunately we have a really long list of politicians who should never have been in power.
Does that say something about the calibre of men who become politicians or does it say something about our ability to choose the right person for the job?
Personally, I don’t find it easy to find a politician whose views align with my own. So I choose the best match possible and hope for the best.
I’d hazard a guess and say that’s true of most of us.
I draw the line at a man convicted of armed robbery though, no matter what he promises.
@@elsadupreez4324 Well said.
Thanks
Rob is big talk, little action, he acts like a prophet
Because he put his money there and control every thing. He told the whole word that he is sorry to pay for the ANC conference for Ramaphosa. It's simple he can know the dates because they fixing all these things. The game might change.
Big @@nkosinathinene651
So now Rob predicts 2027 election date with certainty. Reaks of collusion to me. They call him a wolf in sheepskin.
VIVA GAYTON! JOHN S WAKE UP!
Its not just Gayton showing every ody but just look at his Ministry,anybody could do that please
Love Rob’s views!
The issue is with the DA PA, is they’re so consumed at fighting each other when the onslaught should be directed at the ANC, MK and EFF… the later being irrelevant.
" I'm retiring from politics "
Am I the only one who is worried about the fact that Gayton McKenzie served time for armed robbery?
That’s a serious crime. He was also a notorious gang leader. This man has lived a life most of us have never known.
Yes, I know it was in the past and that he has served his time.
He was sentenced to 17 years, but actually served less than half of that.
During his time behind bars, he met friend and PA partner Kenny Kunene, whom he claims saved his life from a brutal attack.
I just can’t shake the feeling that we’re only seeing one side of McKenzie right now.
I hope I’m wrong, but I feel uneasy…
MMM ok so what prison time is not enough for you he never killed anyone , I think no one is perfect not you and also we not God let's not judge and try to improve our lives he served his time
THE DEVIL 👿 CAN ONLY REMIND PEOPLE OF THERE PAST BUT WE KNOW HIS FUTURE 🙏😅
@@colinpp123
I don’t want a man convicted of a violent crime in parliament.
End of story.
To be allowed into a country as a legal immigrant, you have to have a clean criminal record.
Pity we don’t have this rule for members of parliament.
I pay tax to pay this man’s salary and I’m not happy about that.
Unfortunately there’s nothing I can do about it except not vote PA.
He has many fans though, so I doubt he’ll miss my vote.
I don’t know anyone who has been in prison, never mind convicted of armed robbery. Do you?
@@colinpp123
You seem to be missing the point that it was an ARMED robbery, so there was the possibility that someone could have been killed. That was why he was sentenced to 17 years in prison.
In actual fact he only served 7 years. That’s our prison system and doesn’t reflect the seriousness of his crime.
@@bevturner2258 bro stop acting self righteous,if you Christian you have to forgive ,if you Muslim the Sam and if you atheist well why do you care about morality so you seem to miss the point , we all have past and he served his time you not the justice system if you don't like it too bad
It will take me some time to buy into Gayton McKenzie. Suddenly into Christianity, denying that we are a secular state, Where is the R3million raised for Beaufort West, the eradication of pit toilets that he promised, repairing public swimming pools etc. He is a good orator and politician, and he has good ideas and is saying the right things, but by his own admission, he and Julius Malema cannot govern (I have the video). One rugby match shown by our public broadcaster (the second one wasn't), does not equal success. The jury is still very much out on him.
