News24 | PODCAST | The Lead: ANC and DA succession races – Didiza rising, Hill-Lewis waiting?

Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis and Speaker, Thoko Didiza. News24 editor-in-chief Adriaan Basson asks: "Who will lead the DA and ANC next?"

The DA won’t be led by John Steenhuisen forever, and this is President Cyril Ramaphosa’s final turn at the helm of Africa’s oldest liberation movement, the ANC.

While most of us have our minds on the beach at this time of year, News24 editor-in-chief Adriaan Basson has some very informed thoughts on who may or may not lead these two awkward GNU bedfellows in the years to come.
Later, in our trending topic, the deputy president is cagey in Parliament about a diamond for his wife and his multimillion-rand travel bill.

Finally, we shine a light on Operation Blanket, a covert SADF operation against the ANC in Lesotho, with On This Day in SA History, heard at the end of the show.
