In this episode of The Pioneer Podcast, Cilliers Brink, a prominent DA leader and former mayor of Tshwane, discuss the complex landscape of metro politics, economic challenges, and governance strategies in South Africa. We delve into the political instability caused by coalition chaos, the enduring influence of ANC networks rooted in the 1997 Mafikeng deployment policy, and the urgent need to weaken entrenched corruption. Brink shares his perspectives on restoring financial stability, rebuilding infrastructure, and embracing "functional federalism" to empower local governments. The discussion also touches on national leadership and the personal mindset required to lead effectively under pressure.   You can support Lex Libertas here - https://donate.pioneerinitiative.org.za/en/
