THIS Man, John Steenhuisen, is the ONLY political leader in South Africa who SHOULD be PRESIDENT of SOUTH AFRICA. He reasons with intelligence, and speaks with calm coherence and emotionally involved expression. His INTEGRITY is a critical asset to being the leader of a party, and hopefully SOON, our country.
Will South Africans put colour aside and select a capable leader? That's a key question. He makes perfect sense, but the majority of the people will overlook him simply because he has European ancestry.
Bullshit. HE is just ANOTHER narcissist LOOKING for a long-term SEAT ON THE gravy train. He is READY TO immigrate to Aistralia AT THE DROP of a hat, or a MOLOTOV cocktail on the ROOF OF his HOUSE!
We have to depend mostly on The Lord Jesus Christ only. When South Africa stops banning Godly outspoken pastors like Stephen Anderson then things should improve.
Thank you sir You will make an excellent President for South Africa .The love for the people and the country shows in your dedication for this country .We have a lot of admiration and feel pride and joy watching your bravery and mingling with the crowds during the unrest.
Absolutely true, He is speaking of the goodness of the country and it's people not out of his interest for future leadership. We need a leader who is selfless and with integrity and God fearing. May God through Christ Jesus bless this man and elect as the future president of RSA🙏

Fantastic. Da all the way! So refreshing to hear a politician who is actually connected with what is really going on. And.... Someone who actually takes questions. Mr. Ramaphosa take some notes, the world is watching you and so far the impression is not good!
John you are a true leader big respect for you. You the first politician to be on the frontline of this riots requesting more army personnel on the ground. This and the opening of N3 saved SA from further destruction. I know that the DA does not have the majority of the votes in SA and things are spiraling out of control. What's the turn around strategy to put this country back on economic and political reform. We need more dynamic and knowledgeable politicians like you. A job well done. "Like the James Bond comment"
Unfortunately WC is well run for the rich and middle class, not the poor. Today there is no public transport in cape town, gangs are killing Uber/taxify drivers. Middle class and rich have cars, leave the poor as they're.
There are more job opportunities in WC as well as international investment. Friends of mine relocated to WC and there was a cost efficient bus service so I dont know what you mean by no public transport. I've seen programs that help the poor and educate them out of poverty. They do more than the ANC who drove us more into poverty with corruption. ANC is laughing stock

To be replaced with what? Get real dude! We needed Zuma to resign fortunately he was kicked out. Ramaphosa is by no means a saint but he is the best leader we have right now. I know the general standard for leadership in SA is low, but your suggestion is that Ramaphosa resign is asinine.
Firstly Mr. Steenhuisen, your speech here was way better than any ANC speech that I have listened to ever. But it shocks me to think that you couldn't have imagined the scenes that you saw in KZN? You as a politician and one of the prominent leaders of this country should have known to what violence the African continent can be up to? I hope that you and your party start to put worst case scenarios into your future plans and adapt it as South Africa regress because of bad politics.
@@SueLeo1 As a person or party that threw their hat into the political ring where they might take over governance, the DA shouldn't have any unclear ideas of what catastrophic situation can erupt in SA. Being the better alternative they should have envisioned mayhem like this and have had a plan on the ready.
Where are you Pieter? Have you seen the photos of the destruction? No one in this country could have envisaged it. It was absolutely shocking. We are not at war. If we were at war you could imagine it, but not in what one day was a peaceful country and the next you hear about the destruction. I hope all the looters and destroyers will suffer from food deprivation now, as that is what they have caused, unfortunately the good ones have to suffer with them. I was also shocked and I have just seen the pictures.
Thank you for the reassurance we have because of the hard work of the DA. I sincerely hope Zuma will not be pardoned, I do feel strongly that if he is it will mean a big loss of security to many. The message to parties like EFF will be that they can get away with theft, murder and just about anything. I want to believe this wonderful country of us can be a place we can all stay in and not just survive but thrive.
I worked in the same industry for 25 years. I put together a skills development program in conjunction with SAQWA. It has taken 7 months to try finalize accreditation and is filled with red tape and obstacles . Most of them are still rules dating back to 1975 when SAQWA and SETAS were formed. They still want classroom environments within the SETAs. The world has changed and online training is vital. The classroom environment during Covid and the problems regarding transport and 20 other factors of hinderances is impractical. I left Cape Town and emigrated in December last year but I am still pursuing this venture to upskill those who don't have a chance. The difference being here where I moved to takes 14 days for accreditation to be completed with ability to offer a globally recognized certificate of accreditation. Its time for a reform in SA to educate and upskill to give everyone a fair chance.

Thank you so much for clarifying so many questions that are being ignored by CR and his cronies.

John when will you as opposition parties stand up against the incompetence of the ANC we do not see you on the ground in our communities we are willing to help if you guys are prepared to lead by example in our mids not from your offices or once in a while on TV when you have nothing else to do.
The people need a pardon for security companys and people who defended them selves while police where not there. The people need beke cele investigated for the 1 million rounds that went missing. Ill garentee many more vote but alsow trust of the people that lost the trust in saps and sandf . Only came 3-4 days after the looting.
Thank you for enlightening the South Africans around the world of the real situation in South Africa, and even enlightening many of our own people who do not realise what is happening here. Also thank you for coming up to KZN to see for yourself the unimaginable wide spread devastation that occurred, and putting your suggestions to Ramaphosa. We must all rally to help the DA.
but why,, what colour is running the country ,, before June 1992 the country exported wheat corn ,, now it must import it ,, and why because black people took over the country in July 1994, farmers are murdered
It's truly sad that my people (The Coloured people of South Africa) don't have a fair chance in the only country that we know, and that we were born in, and that we all call home. What I mean by that is that most of us won't find family rooted abroad that we can call on to help us with immigration or resettlement. My people did not come south of Africa whether it be through slavery or opportunity. We were made here and this is our home. Unlike other races from Black, White, Indian even the Chinese, we don't really have another place that we can freely go abroad if things go south (pun intended) for us here. THIS IS OUR HOME!!!!💚
All the other race groups are in the same boat. We can't run off easily to other countries. Only the very wealthy can get out. We must make the DA stronger to get a better opposition.
Amandla D. A AMANDLA keep it up we support you i am staying at cape Town and i got the nice job under D. A and i coming from Johannesburg where they hired there ANC families over 12 years looking for the job at the end got at cape Town with my education papers not favoritism i will vote for you D. A forever grate job
Pls. I am in the Western Cape. Like I said the rich are richer, the middle class are poorer and the poor are even poorer. Majority people in Western Cape are struggling financially. DA must not take credit for good. In our schools, colleges etc, we instil values. We inform students what they break down, at end of the day they lose out. Money must be used to rebuild what they damaged, as result it cannot be used to build something new or better. So pls DA don't take all credit. Go into areas like Egoli, Pelican Park, Mitchells Plein etc, see all the coloureds struggling financially. Lot are trying to make ends meat.
Oh please man, the ANC is the first criminal organisation that needs to be taken care of...then funds are avaliable for other problems in society, the cANCer is what makes everything else fail
I am so glad u not mincing your words and saying it as it supposed to be. That's what we needed u hear. We were scared cause we didn't know what was gona happen next.
Trade schools, skills for the umemployed youth, rebuilding needs skilled workers, invest in your countries future. People working together, defending their own lives and infrastructure with discipline and level- headed actions prevented an even geater disaster, they are worthy of respect and pride.
It's time for the private sector to shadow manage the Country alongside the ANC as they're the ANC are not suitable qualified on many levels to govern.
This looting changes everything!!! Everything is all down here from here, unless this nation turns back to God Almighty and becomes a United people and not a divided people.
Political parties in Parliament doesn't really have any influence on National Treasury. The DA is pro-poor in their policies in they would by default not support VAT increases or any other anti-poor taxes.
The DA's success in Cape Town fancy surburbs is the same as the ANCs success in Sandton, Bryanston etc. Tell me about the areas of townships, Khayelitsha, soweto, etc.
John Steenhuisen, You have a great potential to take the presidency in 2024 but you need to tighten up your approach. You are a little too wide and dont bring the voters home strongly enough. We like you coz you're a likeable guy, but you need to make people WANT YOU!!! Have a strong clear, one sentence vision for the country. Not just small great ideas all over the place. Throw some curveballs there n there for entertainment politics. It might also help you to learn conversational Zulu or Xhosa.... not just "hello bye thank you". That will bring you closer to the people. Goodluck

Fantastic. Da all the way! So refreshing to hear a politician who is actually connected with what is really going on. And.... Someone who actually takes questions. Mr. Ramaphosa take some notes, the world is watching you and so far the impression is not good!
At least John was there, in contrast to Cyril Ramaphosa.
Yes at least he is an dishonest opportunist. You don't want DA in charge they are cut from the same cloth as ANC.
John you are a true leader big respect for you. You the first politician to be on the frontline of this riots requesting more army personnel on the ground. This and the opening of N3 saved SA from further destruction. I know that the DA does not have the majority of the votes in SA and things are spiraling out of control. What's the turn around strategy to put this country back on economic and political reform. We need more dynamic and knowledgeable politicians like you. A job well done. "Like the James Bond comment"
I feel like John could be the Jose Mujica of South Africa. He is also right. The DA governs in WC. They are thriving
Look for! A powerful prayer for our president and other leaders!..
Western Cape is thriving? The most unequal province in SA with the most Gangs and highest levels of racism? You call that thriving?
Unfortunately WC is well run for the rich and middle class, not the poor. Today there is no public transport in cape town, gangs are killing Uber/taxify drivers. Middle class and rich have cars, leave the poor as they're.
Thriving?? No transport? Ongoing taxi violence?? Thousands fear loss of employment. Definitely not thriving.
There are more job opportunities in WC as well as international investment. Friends of mine relocated to WC and there was a cost efficient bus service so I dont know what you mean by no public transport. I've seen programs that help the poor and educate them out of poverty. They do more than the ANC who drove us more into poverty with corruption. ANC is laughing stock
Im often flabbergasted by the resilience of all the south african minorities. Against all odds... still trying to live and grow
What is that supposed to mean White Jesus? This is about all South Africans. What we need is unity now more than ever. During this time of crisis many of my friends across all walks life, colours and creeds have come to assist their neighbours with food, shelter and active street patrols. Minority politics has no place here, and I am 'flabbergasted' that I am the only one to set you straight!
@@christopher-johnbompas9729 Small groups of everyday people set aside differences and came together to defend and protect thier lives, families and suburbs in the face of raging mobs and certain peril, not everyone has the character, discipline and guts to hold the line in such circumstances, their actions prevented an even greater catastrophic loss. They deserve some gratitiude from the whole country.
@George Please read my comment again. Louis praised the resilience of minorities. What about everyone during this time of crisis? It's alienating.
Its Ndzala, from Mt Free, South Africa. Thank you your informative analysis of this unreasonable unrest, thieving, arson.

Cele whant to take our legal wepons...what is the DA doing about that!
Hi Christo, he has fuck all chance of that.
Great work, John! Regards, Ken Parsons
It's strange that all political parties were absent from the unrest and rioting that took place 4 days. No political party can run our country. There should be complete change of system where every voice counts and every voice is heard.
i agree,, what happened to that religious party of REV Moshoe or whats his surname the Christian Democratic party or something like that,you don't hear or see him
Should we all vote on every matter concerning the country? Do you know how long and expensive it would be to run make any change happen with your governing style?
@@thomasneedham1224 one should vote for a party that has at least some values, not for a party that embraces commie ideology and steals the country dry,,

Awesome, so clear on what must be done. #DA4SHURE!!
Cryil Ramaposa should do the right thing and resign. He is unfit and incompetent and a weak leader.
To be replaced with what? Get real dude! We needed Zuma to resign fortunately he was kicked out. Ramaphosa is by no means a saint but he is the best leader we have right now. I know the general standard for leadership in SA is low, but your suggestion is that Ramaphosa resign is asinine.
Firstly Mr. Steenhuisen, your speech here was way better than any ANC speech that I have listened to ever. But it shocks me to think that you couldn't have imagined the scenes that you saw in KZN? You as a politician and one of the prominent leaders of this country should have known to what violence the African continent can be up to? I hope that you and your party start to put worst case scenarios into your future plans and adapt it as South Africa regress because of bad politics.
The DA can only defend the Western Cape. Please direct your criticism to the President of the ANC..
@@SueLeo1 As a person or party that threw their hat into the political ring where they might take over governance, the DA shouldn't have any unclear ideas of what catastrophic situation can erupt in SA. Being the better alternative they should have envisioned mayhem like this and have had a plan on the ready.
Where are you Pieter? Have you seen the photos of the destruction? No one in this country could have envisaged it. It was absolutely shocking. We are not at war. If we were at war you could imagine it, but not in what one day was a peaceful country and the next you hear about the destruction. I hope all the looters and destroyers will suffer from food deprivation now, as that is what they have caused, unfortunately the good ones have to suffer with them. I was also shocked and I have just seen the pictures.
AMAZING WORK JOHN
Thanks
Thank you for the reassurance we have because of the hard work of the DA. I sincerely hope Zuma will not be pardoned, I do feel strongly that if he is it will mean a big loss of security to many. The message to parties like EFF will be that they can get away with theft, murder and just about anything. I want to believe this wonderful country of us can be a place we can all stay in and not just survive but thrive.
Thnk you for yr initiative/response
I worked in the same industry for 25 years. I put together a skills development program in conjunction with SAQWA. It has taken 7 months to try finalize accreditation and is filled with red tape and obstacles . Most of them are still rules dating back to 1975 when SAQWA and SETAS were formed. They still want classroom environments within the SETAs. The world has changed and online training is vital. The classroom environment during Covid and the problems regarding transport and 20 other factors of hinderances is impractical. I left Cape Town and emigrated in December last year but I am still pursuing this venture to upskill those who don't have a chance. The difference being here where I moved to takes 14 days for accreditation to be completed with ability to offer a globally recognized certificate of accreditation. Its time for a reform in SA to educate and upskill to give everyone a fair chance.
JOHN FOR PRESIDENT
VERY VERY WELL SAID MR STEENHUIZEN WE HERE IN KZN
APPLAUD YOU
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT
EVERYTHING SAID IS WELL OVERDUE THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING ALL THAT YOU HAVE IN THIS INTERVIEW
STAY BLESSED 🙏🙏
Thank you John.
Thank you John. Im sure u are doing everything possible to get RSA back on its feet.
Thank you so much for clarifying so many questions that are being ignored by CR and his cronies. Can we please ask for the resignation of the man in the hat, the man who stated on live TV that when he wakes up at 0600, he sorts things out ... while citizens defending their suburbs hadn't slept in 24 hours or more?
YES ME AS A COLOURED SOUTH AFRICAN. , WOULD AGREE , WE ARE TIRED OF , THEIR LIES , WHERE WAS HIS INTELLIGENT SERVICE WHEN THE MESSAGES WENT OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA , WHERE WAS HIS POLICE WHEN THIS LOOTING TOOK PLACE ,HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT , THESE PEOPLE COULD EMPTY , I MEAN, EMPTY !!!!! MALLS
AND NO POLICE , IT DOESN'T ADD UP!!! DID THEY KNOW WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN , BUT JUST IGNORED , AND ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN , ? LIKE WIRH ALL OUR FARMERS BEING KILLED AND ATTACKED!!! NO SUPPORT FOR THEM , FARMERS CRIED OUT FOR HELP ,THEY SO FOOLISH TO ATTACK AND BURN OUT FARMERS
THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO FEED US WE NEED THEM ,
NOW THIS , !!!!!!!!!! WE NORMAL. HARD WORKING PEOPLE ,ALL WE WANT IS PEACE!!!!!!!
Community voting for there leaders will change things
This is not an ANC battle, it’s a struggle for the soul of the nation against corruption.
John when will you as opposition parties stand up against the incompetence of the ANC we do not see you on the ground in our communities we are willing to help if you guys are prepared to lead by example in our mids not from your offices or once in a while on TV when you have nothing else to do.
Look for! A powerful prayer for our president and other leaders!..
The DA doesn’t get media coverage of any actions they take
Our politicians are clowns....all of them
May God protect our beautiful country
The people need a pardon for security companys and people who defended them selves while police where not there.
The people need beke cele investigated for the 1 million rounds that went missing.
Ill garentee many more vote but alsow trust of the people that lost the trust in saps and sandf . Only came 3-4 days after the looting.
Thank you John

Thank you for enlightening the South Africans around the world of the real situation in South Africa, and even enlightening many of our own people who do not realise what is happening here. Also thank you for coming up to KZN to see for yourself the unimaginable wide spread devastation that occurred, and putting your suggestions to Ramaphosa. We must all rally to help the DA.
Silver Mamba is disgusted by this behavior!
Work hard I need you in Government please go all out next election I need DA in government

Thank you John you answered my question. Now to show the moral fibre to implement these stirling objectives
It's truly sad that my people (The Coloured people of South Africa) don't have a fair chance in the only country that we know, and that we were born in, and that we all call home.
What I mean by that is that most of us won't find family rooted abroad that we can call on to help us with immigration or resettlement.
My people did not come south of Africa whether it be through slavery or opportunity. We were made here and this is our home.
Unlike other races from Black, White, Indian even the Chinese, we don't really have another place that we can freely go abroad if things go south (pun intended) for us here.
THIS IS OUR HOME!!!!💚
All the other race groups are in the same boat. We can't run off easily to other countries. Only the very wealthy can get out. We must make the DA stronger to get a better opposition.
I have spoken to people who stood in que's with SANDF. The guys said they waiting for instruction to sort out this mess. They are ready to engage.
Amandla D. A AMANDLA keep it up we support you i am staying at cape Town and i got the nice job under D. A and i coming from Johannesburg where they hired there ANC families over 12 years looking for the job at the end got at cape Town with my education papers not favoritism i will vote for you D. A forever grate job
Pls. I am in the Western Cape. Like I said the rich are richer, the middle class are poorer and the poor are even poorer. Majority people in Western Cape are struggling financially. DA must not take credit for good. In our schools, colleges etc, we instil values. We inform students what they break down, at end of the day they lose out. Money must be used to rebuild what they damaged, as result it cannot be used to build something new or better. So pls DA don't take all credit. Go into areas like Egoli, Pelican Park, Mitchells Plein etc, see all the coloureds struggling financially. Lot are trying to make ends meat.
Da cant do much to improve the job situation as they have no controll over state institutions and bbe which is killing the economy
So no one political cares about what is happening in Cape town about taxi violence 😒
Oh please man, the ANC is the first criminal organisation that needs to be taken care of...then funds are avaliable for other problems in society, the cANCer is what makes everything else fail

I am so glad u not mincing your words and saying it as it supposed to be. That's what we needed u hear. We were scared cause we didn't know what was gona happen next.
Trade schools, skills for the umemployed youth, rebuilding needs skilled workers, invest in your countries future. People working together, defending their own lives and infrastructure with discipline and level- headed actions prevented an even geater disaster, they are worthy of respect and pride.
It's time for the private sector to shadow manage the Country alongside the ANC as they're the ANC are not suitable qualified on many levels to govern.
Is DA gonna back the increase of VAT and taxes coming soon? Feels like the entire parlement is captured! Please convince me otherwise...
This looting changes everything!!! Everything is all down here from here, unless this nation turns back to God Almighty and becomes a United people and not a divided people.
Political parties in Parliament doesn't really have any influence on National Treasury. The DA is pro-poor in their policies in they would by default not support VAT increases or any other anti-poor taxes.
The DA's success in Cape Town fancy surburbs is the same as the ANCs success in Sandton, Bryanston etc. Tell me about the areas of townships, Khayelitsha, soweto, etc.
Who do you vote for? The DA only runs the Western Cape…
Yes they only run the Provence but have no controll of state institutions and only when you have controll of these can you create sustainable jobs
You need a stable country to attract investment to create jobe, tbis has set SA far back
Well said John, calm cool and collected makes fr a level headed leader
Only long term solution is an independent Western Cape.
😂😂 how about you moving back to the Netherlands or Germany wherever you migrated from, sounds like a more long lasting solution

John Steenhuisen, You have a great potential to take the presidency in 2024 but you need to tighten up your approach. You are a little too wide and dont bring the voters home strongly enough. We like you coz you're a likeable guy, but you need to make people WANT YOU!!! Have a strong clear, one sentence vision for the country. Not just small great ideas all over the place. Throw some curveballs there n there for entertainment politics. It might also help you to learn conversational Zulu or Xhosa.... not just "hello bye thank you". That will bring you closer to the people. Goodluck
