Episode 159 - JOHN STEENHUISEN'S DISASTROUS VICTORY SPEECH

I listened to John Steenhuisen's acceptance speech after he was
re-elected as the federal leader of the Democratic Alliance,
South Africa's official opposition in parliament. This is a very
important leadership position given that the DA is the second
largest party in the country.

I was shocked by the bizarre content at the heart of the speech.
It was filled with relentless negativity and fear mongering,
which bodes very poorly if this is a dress rehearsal for how the
DA will approach the 2024 national elections. 

There were at least six massive own goals - more - but let's
focus illustratively on six examples from Steenhuisen's victory
speech that demonstrate my claim that the speech was deeply
problematic on multiple levels.
