Gareth's Guests: Tony Leon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лис 2023
- Tony Leon is a South African icon in post-apartheid politics. He's the longest serving leader of the opposition in Parliament, and he led the Democratic Alliance for 13 years. Having exited leadership in 2007 and later the public political space in 2009, Tony lived through a political movement that did not involve the loud voices of social media and the intense racial criticism the DA experiences now. Gareth and Tony take a look into the possible futures of South Africa, with the different links of coalitions - as well as some analysis of South Africa’s state of deterioration over the years.
Great interview thanks for sharing.
We need Tony for a full hour and a half. South Africa needs the cool head of Leon in our politics and possibly our future government next year.
Easily one of South Africa's greatest opposition politicians
Highly intelligent and articulate
Tony Leon was a good leader. If he was at the helm this country would have been great.
An expectational man and as a DA member a personal hero of mine thank you Tony 🙏🏽💙
Hello Tony, how nice to see you!! Thank you for starting the DA, you have been fantastic, we salute you
Amazing! Loved this.
Good to hear insight from Tony
Having recently watched the ARTE tv Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas ( fluent in isiZulu) of uMngeni Municipality on UA-cam as well as Mac G's Podcast with John Steenhuisen ( also on UA-cam), the DA is by far the best and most experienced choice to take SA forward in 2024!!
Thank you both. The influence guys like you will have on a 2023 voting population is hard to calculate, but one hopes it will be very different to the effect mainstream media had in the last election. Never thought I would be excited by channels like this, but am pleased to say I am. 🌹🌹
We are so use to doing things ourselfes that we do not need Gov, there is nothing they do for us.
Except force us to pay taxes and rates and then give us nothing for it… I don’t mind doing everything myself BUT I VERY MUCH mind paying taxes and then paying for everything AGAIN!
@@casualSimRacer3312Agreed. So gatvol of being taxed to death AND then getting nothing for it AND having to pay privately for what I’ve already paid for with my rates and taxes!
Beautiful chat. We need part 2!
Such a credible statesman. History will judge him well !!!
Great interview 👌🏾

❤️💚🖤 VIVA EFF VIVA. Salute CIC MALEMA SALUTE…..INDEED THE ENEMY IS SHAKING…..2024 shall be our 1994 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Fantastic listen
Gareth, just allow people to finish their sentence now and then, yeah?
Otherwise, very engaging and good conversation.
Surely we could finance the building of a private, functioning harbour somewhere on private property? Surely there must be a vaguely suitable piece of coast somewhere.
Apartheid made you suffer while you were being beaten up. The ANC makes you suffer while it pats you on the back. Both were horrible. We need a new government.
I have met Tony often ,when he came around for funding, I respect him and his efforts in our country. I don't agree with all he has to say
Good interview. The ANC has corruption problems but the DA is not the entire solution. I wish the DA could Stop talking about the ANC (we know) and tell us how u will fix the problem 🇿🇦 and beyond the Government (public sector) the private sector also needs to be regulated. The Rand has been manipulated by private banks. What is the ANC or the DA doing about these corrupt private companies...
Thanks very informative!
It truly was!
Great show Gareth Bravo
He says if the ANC goes into coalition with the EFF, Gareth and all his listeners must leave the country. Assuming that he thinks Gareth's listenership is all white, where must Gareth's black listeners (us) migrate to ?😅😅😅
Its less about the colour of your skin but the thoughts in your mind, it would have to be another place that aligns woth the ideals of free thought, free speech, property right, individual freedoms. Hope it never comes to pass 🙏
Just listened to a DA Podcast
Would not be possible for white, black, coloured, Indian work together to make South Africa work and function to benefit everyone but not one race only.
A country which focus to lift those who are impoverished to ensure no one is left behind.
AQUALLY❤
So we said. Unfortunately no longer in the leadership race.
Gareth sorry to break it to you the country has already been hollowed out from the inside
By now we are well aware of what has and is still happening in SA. The frustration, is that everything being said here, is repetitive rhetoric. No one seems to be offering a ray of hope in terms of how we turn this country around. Are their any rays of hope to be had? Then, on Tony's comment about the EFF declaring war on those that don't look like them, I say the EFF underestimates the spirit and the capability for the fight within the community that "don't look like them"!
You can't turn it around when 80% of the country has an average IQ of 70 and refuses to accept Western thinking in a Western country.
Just get out.
Having recently watched the ARTE tv Documentary about Mayor Chris Pappas ( fluent in isiZulu) of uMngeni Municipality on UA-cam as well as Mac G's Podcast with John Steenhuisen ( also on UA-cam), there is still hope for a better and more capable Government that can fix our broken country post 2024!!
@@tonitappous2422 Hahaha! There you go with Steenhuisen on Mac G again! You are peddling false hope.
You lost me at Sleepy Joe and Keir Starmer being good leaders. LOL
Psalm 83 v1-18 God, do not keep quiet. Do not be quiet, O God, and do not hold Your peace. 2 For, look, those who hate You are making much noise. Those who fight against You have honored themselves. 3 They make bad plans against Your people. They plan against those You care for. 4 They say, “Come, let us destroy them as a nation. Let the name of Israel be remembered no longer.” 5 For they plan together with one mind. They make an agreement against You
Zechariah 12:2-3 “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it
This conversation definitely has a socialist mentality hidden beneath it and definitely not good, as it makes more people lean towards socialism
is this not the same leader whose company scored an unadvertised tender to do communication during the water crisis in the Western Cape. but no one calls that corruption!
I'm sure if anything untoward happened then the ANC and EFF would have been screaming to high heaven. Their silence indicates that everything was above board.
I think a conversation becomes interesting when the host and the guest have 2 opposing ideals....
Other than that it's just cringe😂
They forgot to mention John steenhuisen only has matric which private sector company would make him CEO without considering his skin colour, I'll wait for the answer.
The Pentagon was hit by a missile.
Be Racist.But please just try to bring South Africa to the United States of America level democratically and politically.Thats the least we can do to bring the rainbow nation we want.Black and White living,achieving, succeeding and praying together for our Nation for the benefit of All our youth and children.
Is Tony Jewish?🤔🤔
Yes.
No he is not!
Yes. He is Jewish.
What happened to being Progressive
Donald Trump will become US president again Tony
He watches CNN, stuck in "Liberal" terms, what the heck is Liberal anyway??? hehehehehh That is my problem with the DA, they old and tired... thank heavens they keeping the Western Cape liveable but they have no clue how to move forward with the times... Old and tired. "Conservative" at least stands for COMMON SENSE. What does LIBERAL STAND FOR??? I am with you brother.
Zionist??? or.Judiest??
