John Steenhuisen makes allegations about Starlink in South Africa

Minister John Steenhuisen made serious allegations against former DA leader Tony Leon, claiming that he exploited his connections to arrange meetings between government officials and private companies.

This included attempts to arrange meetings between communications minister Solly Malatsi and US satellite Internet provider Starlink, which Steenhuisen called inappropriate.
 
He is like a naughty child that has been scolded and is acting out or getting those back who turned against him.... Was waiting for such a thing to happen! Why can't he acknowledge he didn't serve his department and the farmers and so on correctly....
 
Steenhuisen has ZERO credibility, he had none at the leader of the DA, he has none now, he should have been removed as the minister of agriculture when he stepped down from the leadership of the DA. The DA must also accept responsibility for this mess they created and facilitated.
 
now all the juicy dirt comes out, wonder if we find out what kind of REAL horse trading happened between the DA and ANC.
to give them such portfolios such as agriculture and home affairs, and not something more important like police or Military

It almost feels like the only man in the DA is Helen.

Even our DA councilor is this soft spoken, fat pokkel-of-a-guy who looks like he'll succumb to a serious case of strangling and blood loss if he ever had to climb through a doringdraad to fetch his balls on the other side, I cannot take these people seriously and have, and will continue to vote accordingly.
 
Someone with his amount of debt should have stfu and taken his deputy minister salary to pay it off. If he gets expelled from the party then he's fukt...
 
Gone fully ANC Cadre now - proven to have no scruples and lust for money. Time to toss this little prick-ly pear!
 
You cannot have a Durban North boy who had never stepped foot on a farm previously as the Minister of Agriculture or this kind of thing happens. Listening to country music in a Ford Ranger does not mean you know anything about agricultural SCIENCE as a science it is.

This is why the DA are a party of unqualified clowns who learned from Trump on how to do nothing but complain and spew nonsense. Unfortunately, the voters aren't that bright and actually believe them.
