Which South Africans: Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen has been embarrassed on SABC News when he was asked by Flo Letoaba about which South Africans he consulted when he launched a bid to stop the lockdown through the courts.
Here are some of the comments by viewers:
“Which South Africans? How did he come to the conclusion that ALL South Africans want what he is asking for? Cause I’m pretty sure Abuthi John was not speaking for me?”
“Trump is influencing Leaders to be disrespectful and come up with stupid facts this fool he is not a Doctor or scientist, if he wanna see if lockdown is shit he must walk around without a mask and get infected then we can talk and who is we Rich people who have data mxm”
“Which South Africans is John speaking of? cause he has blocked everyone that asks him a difficult question? Can we check the platform he is talking about an find out how many people he is speaking on behalf please, looks like John just went on media an lie”
“Obviously @flo_Letoaba would racialise this! I mean what else is she good for? Race baiting and taking the discussion to the gutter. Nothing about the merits of the argument but trying desperately to make it a racist thing! People need to earn a living!”
“She asked a simple questions which South Africans is he speaking on behalf off, and he claimed he consulted the question again is who, how many pple have u consulted, what does that have to do with race?”
“fFo Letoaba didn’t handle this well. She clearly was focused on winning an argument to score points that she did a COVID-19 interview masterclass on the DA leader. As a journalist, thats not how you interview. She should have handled the interview better.”
“He could have said “we managed to collect 500 000 signatures supporting a petition to call an end to the lockdown. How would you confirm that you speak for the majority if you have no tangible evidence yo support it? The tantrums were not necessary from John.”
