Loading player...
In this episode of The Daily Friend Show, Michael Morris and Hermann Pretorius dive into the multi-faceted and evergreen issue of corruption. A new proposed law in Washington, D.C., paves the way for the US government to put sanctions on some SA politicians. Meanwhile, back home, a small ANC concession on corruption, the firing of Minister Nkabane, paved the way for the GNU's first budget to near completion after months of political fights and tensions, and former chief justice Zondo speaks out on the weakness of the Hawks and the impact of the death of the famous Scorpions NPA unit.
