In the latest edition of The Sunday Show, BizNews favourite, Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), gives his take on the future of the Government of National Unity following talks this weekend between the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA). He also weighs in the Budget “circus”. De Beer examines the definition of “genocide” following US President Donald Trump’s Tweet that he doesn't want to come to the G20 because of “land confiscation and genocide”, and dismisses pushback from Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Commander-in-Chief Julius Malema that “tariff-wielding barbarian” Trump will be lucky to still be president by the time the G20 is held in November. De Beer further comments on the “secret” trip to Israel by MPs from the DA, Patriotic Alliance (PA) and the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP). Lastly, he fumes about a “new, very controversial” amendment to the Security Bill which he believes will destroy security companies and their capability. “…if we are going to remove their guns, if we are going to remove the capability, anarchy, I can tell you, is coming. So this bill needs to be fought with everything of civil society.”
