Cape Town – A clip from DA leader John Steenhuisen’s interview with SABC news anchor Flo Letoaba went viral on Thursday night after she asked which South Africans he spoke for.
The 2-minute clip is from a 9-minute interview Steenhuisen had with the SABC to talk about the DA’s decision to file papers in the High Court challenging the rationality of the three separate lockdown related issues – the night curfew, the ban in e-commerce or online shopping and the restriction on exercise hours.
“You said in the press briefing that you had, that South Africans are begging for clarity on the way forward… Which South Africans are you speaking for, and which conversations are you having, with whom and where?” asked Letoaba.
“Well I’m having conversations with South Africans. who are frankly fed up with the lack of information,” said Steenhuisen.
“Which South Africans? And where?” inquired Letoaba.
“Would you like me to provide you with a list of them? I mean what are you asking?” responded Steenhuisen.
“That would be great,” she answered. “I,m asking where are you having these conversations … which thousands of South Africans?”
Steenhuisen then replied that he was having this conversation with South Africans on social media, and brought up his show CoronaCast which he hosts twice a week.
After the clip was posted to social media “Which South Africans?” started trending.
