Tony Leon on the state of the GNU, the DA, and brown envelopes
from The Lead · host News24
The government of national unity (GNU) is MIA. And it’s not unified in the nation’s interests - it’s every man or woman for themselves. This is the opinion of one former DA leader-turned-ambassador, Tony Leon, who argues that SA’s current crop of leaders is failing the perfect storm test as we barrel toward Trump’s tariffs sans a senior diplomat in Washington. And what does he think about the Independent Development Trust bribe scandal? And the DA’s internal leadership battles for key posts? Find out in Tony’s debut edition of The Lead with host Graeme Raubenheimer. Later in the show, an elusive Jozi investment broker who allegedly conned his clients out of millions hands himself over to the police. Finally, Sean “Diddy” Combs wants a Trump pardon.
