Ep. 16 - SA Election: Season Finale | Guest: John Steenhuisen (DA)

On this episode I interview John Steenhuisen: a South African politician currently serving as Chief Whip of the Official Opposition as a Member of the National Assembly representing the Democratic Alliance. He had previously served as Leader of the Opposition in the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature.

Steenhuisen was elected to the then Durban City Council in 1999 at the age of 22, making him one of the youngest councillors in the city's history. In 2006 he was elected the caucus leader of the Democratic Alliance's official opposition as a member of the eThekwini Municipal Council and served on its Executive Council.

Steenhuisen is known for his oratory skills and has delivered a number of noteworthy speeches to Parliament that have been noted for their wit and incisive criticism. He has been labelled a "street fighter" in parliament.
