In this latest edition of the Sunday Show. Neil de Beer says Police Minister Senzo Mchunu is licking his lips for the return of AfriForum’s Kallie Kriel from the Afrikaners’ latest mission to the US amid a dispute over farm murder statistics. “…there’s a little bit of a facial expression from Mchunu that this is not just about a discrepancy, but this is about: I'm waiting for you.” As for criticism from other Cabinet ministers, he says: “I sometimes think that these ministers that are going through allegations - and there are more than 20, 30 of them - they actually beg that people like AfriForum go run around the world and cause mayhem. Because as long as they are the target, as long as they are the story, they're not the story.” De Beer slams the very poor performance of National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) boss Shamila Batohi whose term ends in January 2026 - and lists some of the “walking hyenas that are still around here and some of them disgustingly still being leadership”. Meanwhile, he calls on Correctional Services Minister Pieter Groenewald to review the parole of the long-time “terminally ill” Shabir Shaik who “has become a biological miracle and must be captured and put into a museum”. As for the delayed Budget Speech, he urges Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to introduce cost-cutting measures, “but you have to have nuts to cut”. De Beer also shares details of an hour-and-half long conversation he had with former President Jacob Zuma’s Private Secretary, Isaac Leshona, following his interview with BizNews - and the purges being executed by SG Floyd Shivambu in one faction and Duduzile Zuma in another.
