Should SA get involved in the US-Venezuela crisis?

from The Lead · host News24

While the SACP marched on the US Embassy in Pretoria on Thursday to denounce the Trump administration’s abduction of another sitting head of state, the political parties that make up the current government of national unity (GNU) failed to see eye-to-eye on how best to react to the US-Venezuela crisis. We check the GNU’s foreign policy pulse with our columnists, global correspondent Phillip de Wet, and political analyst Mphumelelo Mkhabela, next. The ANC is also founded 114 years ago with On This Day in SA History. Finally, can you beat Rauby’s Pointless Braai Quiz in this edition? A grand prize awaits!
