Episode Details

John Steenhuisen’s fall from grace in the DA government is a cautionary tale — demoted from agriculture to deputy minister after a chaotic foot-and-mouth crisis, his exit clears the way for Geordin Hill-Lewis’s bold reshuffle. Willem Aucamp, a farmer with parliamentary chops, now takes the reins to fix the mess — but only if he avoids the same flawed advice that derailed Steenhuisen. Meanwhile, David Maynier steps into forestry and environment, while Hill-Lewis faces uphill battles to gain leverage with the ANC. The DA’s unity government is far from triumphant — except maybe for Leon Schreiber — and the stakes for policy success are higher than ever.
