In this edition of the NdB Sunday Show, Chris Steyn speaks to Jacques Taljaard, the newly elected President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), the party founded by the iconic late Neil De Beer.

And he shares a previously unseen video of Neil that is guaranteed to make viewers laugh out loud.
