Summary
Freedom Front Plus leader Corné Mulder gives BizNews the clearest outside read yet on the Democratic Alliance's implosion — tracing the Steenhuisen saga back to Trump's first executive order, the Oval Office "dim the lights" meeting, and a coalition built without a negotiated platform. Mulder explains why he feels sorry for his old rival, draws a hard line between DA and FF Plus values ahead of the local government elections, and warns of "bad actors on the periphery" who want South Africa's economy to fail. Plus: ABSA shares drop 8% despite calm guidance, and Tony Leon hits back at Steenhuisen's claims that his firm pulled strings behind the scenes.
