During our chat we discussed John's epic clashes with Cyril Ramaphosa in Parliament, the questionable release of Jacob Zuma from prison, the riots that erupted in Durban and Cape Town, Cyril Ramaphosa's $4 Million Couch Scandal, John's thoughts on becoming the president of South Africa, addressing the growing issue of homelessness in Cape Town, the challenges related to drugs and gangs in the Cape Flats, concerns about police corruption, Gayton Mckenzie, what BRICS means, the recent legalisation of marijuana in SA and much more!

This is next level for getting the DA John on your channel. Respect 🙏
I was skeptical of John and the DA at first. After this podcast, not so much. He's articulate and good-heated, a rare quality for today's politicians.
It’s refreshing to listen to a politician that talks sense, intelligent and articulate, that’s what a leader looks like. He makes our current government look stupid
Our government is a joke 😭i wish i could’ve experienced SA years and years ago my grandmother showed me a photo of Johannesburg years ago and it was so clean you wouldn’t say it was Johannesburg and that’s so fucking sad
No more stealing a.n.c do you hear no more stealing.
Well done Mr Steenhuizen it's true the Truth shall set u free...Cyril thinks he is mighty...
Cyril is the President of SA....You like it or not....this Matric White Domkop think he is still in charge....I hope and pray he resign after the failure of his Moon Pack Domkoppe next year !!!!
Yes cyril thinks he is Mighty Mouse
Lots of admiration and respect for John. Keep up the good work
What good work ???? Stop talking Rubbish !!!
He couldn't read out a number, but we'll clown Jacob Zuma for that, sounds contradictory & hypocritical
@@6klippa894 which portion of the podcast is it?
@@6klippa894 Zuma is a criminal who belongs in jail with Ramaphosa
Good, honest, open discussion! Well done both of you
Excellent interview. People should share this far and wide as it provides great insight on how the country can be run by a capable government. I certainly have new respect for the level of competence of this man and his party.
.. this interview was so Fya ! 🔥 Respect the transparency and direction of the DA / John. Well done Josh ! Keep on keeping on ! Oh and lets do something about that damn dam ! #bless ..
Ayyy, glad you enjoyed it! I will not stop until that dam is cleaned! 😂🙌🏻
Eyeopening... Thank you Josh! Love this podcast!
Wow what an interview really enjoyed it.👌
Good show. Very informative and empowering. Steenhuisen is correct and he is a good leader to lead the fight against bad that has been allowed to run rampant in SA over the last 30 years. If those 13 million unregistered voters could just vote DA for once, we could change the tide of the current political landscape of South Africa. Kudos to Wide Awake Podcast for a great presentation. Well done.
But he was silent when people had mandates forced on them. Where was their upholding the constition then?
Fantastic Interview!!! I really enjoyed listening to John discuss the issues that SA faces as well how to fix them.
Awesome Episode,there should be far more politicians willing to come onto public platforms to state their case,and i feel like he has represented himself and hes party very well.Well done Josh and John
John , wish more people could have seen this interview. You are right saying start with job creation then those parents can send their kids to schools, and that will solve the first step we have to take. I have been brought up in the apartheid era and never knew about it ,and there was more opportunity then, if you worked for it. Madiba showed every one in South Africa that is possible under any circumstances. He has done it why not can the youth of today?
Excellent interview...thanks 😊😊
This was so encouraging. Thanks so much.
You are going from strength strength
Excellent interview 👏
Having recently watched Mac G's Podcast with John Steenhuisen on RUclips as well as JS on the Hustlers' Corner, SA ( also on RUclips), I have to completely agree with you!! People need to get to know JS more!!
Well done on pushing for the dam clean up.
I like DA John Steenhuizen. ANC POLITICAL MUST GO GO GO GO OUT. I HATE HATE HATE ANC POLITICAL. VIVA DA VIVA. PLEASE SOUTH AFRICA PEOPLE MUST SUPPORT VOTE 🗳DA. JOHN STEENHUIZEN 2024
what a disgrace that the promises of 1994 eventually come to this--lawlessness ,corruption, and all over poverty for most of the millions who was suppose to get a better life. So sad. And these millions seems not to realise that!
Great Interview...John Steenhuisen for President a New Change in South Africa.
Awesome interview man👏
Awesome interview!
Notice how fat and well fed all parliamentarians are. The feeding trough is good for all of them irrespective of the party's they represent. As a contrast look at the state of the general population who do not look well fed and complacent. I would like to see all government officials living on the minimum wage - if it is good enough for the population it must surely be good enough for them!
If they all live on minimum wage, then corruption would be vast bru
Do you know that according to the Auditor General of SA, the Western Cape Provincial Government (run by the DA) recently got awarded 100% Unqualified, Clean Audits (this year ) across all its Provincial Departments and Entities!!
Absolutely .NO feeding at the trough there and a result that is unmatched across the whole country!!
A result to be really proud of in the sea of corruption that is the SA government!
We need a pt 2 !
Another really good one! 🎉
That why former president Jacob Zuma was always laughing at the parliament and didn't take anything personal
Yes, social development will definitely help kids move out of gang environments.
I'd like to hear a politician just once say we need to rid ourselves of illegal immigrants in order to ensure that our own people, firstly, are occupying low cost housing and then fire every single politician caught committing any single unethical act, with jail for criminal activity.
Not only people without jobs were involved in the riots. We stopped people driving Porsche cayenes, bmw and mercs with stollen goods
Great interview ❤😊🎉
Josh thanks for the compelling interview.I would like you to bring in the President himself
An excellent interview, thanks to both parties👏💙💙💙
Josh, next time you interview a politician, give us a chance beforehand to pose some questions that you can ask them when doing the interview... Please man
Hey, I usually post on Instagram asking people to send in questions a few days before I do a podcast but I’ll start doing it in the community tab on RUclips! 🙌🏻
@@wideawakepodcast Thanks Josh. I appreciate it. Keep up the good work bro
I really enjoy your interview. I thank you for showing the images of the dirty dam.
I don't think that it is a dam. More likely an abandoned mine quarry!
Nice interview man
I listened to this podcast on spotify. I absolutely love every single one of your podcasts. It's an eye-opener for someone like me! I also had to laugh when he said, "Where's the decimals. I work in finance, and when I assist someone, I ask them where's their decimals, and I can't work without decimals!"😅
Very well spoken John. An excellent interview.
After ensuring a visit the dam in Danoone. Please have all the storm water between the Goodwood off ramp opposite Channel Walk on the left side of the N1 going into CT tested for sewer.
Great 👍
Look at Soweto and look at Khayelitsha then tell us who is doing better or worse.
Soweto is the most famous township in South Africa, it's about 3x bigger than Khayelitsha and it's where famous political and other famous people grew up, of cause the government will spend money there more in terms of development
@@queyoung754point is, he shouldn’t have made that comparison
Or compare Tembisa/Alexandra
Well done man for getting Ellen, damn what a story, craziest incident that happened on the cape flats
The huge problem with these parliamentary sideshows is that they seem to forget that the rest of the world cannot take us seriously. I personally find it embarrassing. It centainly wasn't like that before. Nobody should be heckling whilst others are speaking and for the State President to tell people to shut up is just as appalling.
Mr steenhuizen really got some excellent points..i was o much waiting on him to just once mentioned with the help of God,, irrespective of being a liberal and his believes as a liberal,, when it comes to natural disasters South Africa are still one of the most blessed countries because of the amount ofGod Fearing citizens..
I love ❤️ it
Intelligent,creative mind😎
John should really be President. This man is a straight shooter with such great commitment to make our country a Better SA. Thank you. We appreciate you.
Awesome interview. Really enjoyed it. Would love to hear about his thoughts on the Palestinian Israel conflict given that much of the parties funding comes from isreal. He speaks about racism and not using racist policies like BEE but he accepts Money from a racist country?
I would love to see you with another political leader and take them to task.
Having recently watched the ARTE tv documentary about Chris Pappas on RUclips, I would love to see him being interviewed on this channel as well!
I have a great personal story about endurance perservearance corruption and God. Thanks
I respect John but the BRICS part makes me not want to vote for the DA
Gud questions
Would be so interesting if you can find TAPZ for an interview... a South African mystery
or TOE...
Or QK.
@@lnsecure_Paratha. OPK
😮 he’s gained soo much weight
Right😮😮😮😮
Politicians they are eating
Is it stress?
The dam may be on private property - government doesn't have the mandate to clean it. You will need to find the owner of the land.
It is not...
@@91gerrard are you sure? You have the deeds?
My question is "What does Private Land Ownership mean to the Indegenous People in South Africa, who are basically Landless....How fair is that people with European background in South Africa owns Land..while Indegenous basically live in Lokasies/Townships...????
DA John Steenhuizen is immune to protect Stolen Land , while South Africà Indegenous Khoé & Kwê people are Landless live basically in Lokasies/Townships...how fair and Demacracy is that...Let's talk what the Dutch/German Settlers did to the Khoé & Kwê Indegenous Nama people..We cannot forget...and we also don't need somebody to make us forget The Earth can't be own by man kind...That's totally insane....No money can buy Land can buy the Earth..Every Nation was given his share of the world Land of the world to eat from to walk on and to live on....
The Xhosas, Zulus, Tswanas, Sothos, Ndebele's, Pedis and Vendas got their Land....What happened with the Khoé & Kwê land...Where is our Land....??? The Bible talk about....
So called Coloured people must wake-up we are slowly loosing all our Land rights and recourses to Settlers....They Govern and decide over us... Because we are to weak....What happened with our 61% Communal Land in South Africa ...While other Nations hold on to their Communal Land rights....DA John Steenhuizen where is our Communal Land rights.....So don't sit here and talk rubish.....
A simple question "What happened with our "61% Coloured Communal Trust Land in South Africa, While all other Nations hold on their Zulu, Xhosa, Tswana ect...Trust land and protected by Goverment...and their Traditional Kings and Leadership's....??
As he mentioned, the government owns most of the land in the country, having been buying it up for ages. However, it rarely leaves government hands. I read about Black farmers who received land but lack deeds, preventing them from leveraging the land to secure loans for farm growth. Why are title deeds not being issued, and why are the land claim courts not operating efficiently? It makes me wonder if the ANC aims to follow the EFF and MK's vision of government owning all the land, with citizens merely leasing it. I don't see how leasing land will resolve the land issue, as without title deeds, you can't obtain loans to develop the land.
“ deals are made in pubs “
I say Glynnis Bruitenbach for President. That woman doesn't mince her words.
I would love to bring to the attention theres a school in Parkwood named Montugu gift primary school.This is school is 50years or older,the leanwrs achieve low pass rates its a health risk school the roofs are asbestoos.whos to be blamed for it DA or ANC?
The wheel will turn
I often wonder who gets the contracts for cleaning rd sides and comming up with great ideas. maybe there should be a opportunity for the general public to have ideas to get people off the streets and working. i have ideas, but im not buddies with anyone in the DA.
Really enjoyed this, most times i cant watch these videos till the end. This one was enjoyable very good answers, very good questions. Have to take a pinch of salt with his answers tho he is a politician lol.
Hmm… 02:47 😂”often a lot a work is done in the pub, and deals are done etc there”😫… this is why we don’t get services at all. They do policies and agreements under the influence😔🚮.
Forced removal in Edenvale stand owner not yet reimbursed for their stands taken away

Please encourage the youth to vote AnC out so we try a new way forward
Hello I love ❤️ the da Listen to the Is Diara foundation
The day will come when they are out of power. Then they must sit and shit entolongweni
Very little people stay in the western cape compared to the the rest of the country,
Politics & Sport is Confused in South Africa...New Hope to All.DA.
Its kind of crazy to think that schooling in gang areas will change children that go home from school and are right back in the thick of it.
Gangs and hardened criminals should be given their own Town to live in. gated and they can grow their own foid and live with like minded folk. why do we the citezens have to give a dam about their personal repetative behaviour. they dont care about themselves. we have our own lives to manage
Bring Gaeton McKenzie on
Check the channel In 2 weeks! 🫡
Oh and he too blames apartheid...😂😂😂😂 almost 30 years on it is still apartheid when we cannot answer.
cut income tax in half
To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a weekly and monthly basis. That's the key to living a financially stable life. This trick has never failed. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life and put this basis to work and practice. Jessica Darrell have been a great manager, mentor and guide. Her support and advice has helped shaped my crypto trading career.
I get a lot of recommendations for Jessica Darrell from friends. Her strategy must be good for people to testify a lot about her.
I have been getting so many recommendations about her as well
how do I reach her
For real she's very profitable
Whole life is a joke in every sense, the investment side of a whole life policy gives the poor return and stabilized the rich
How does this whole crypto thing works I'm interested in it and willing and ready to invest heavily but I need an assistant to properly guide me through on how to make a good startup and be successful in it without making mistakes
John can do the job. If only brown people's hearts were healed from the past. Imagine John was president, what a difference it would be.
Brown & black people are voting DA. It's the uneducated that won't vote for them because they're bribed with a t-shirt
Surely although poor and desperate every citizen also bring their part. Even just picking up a piece of paper. Charity start at home.
I want julius next please
Go back to 1993 to find out the reason Du Noon was created. The go back to 2004 and the reason why control of the city was lost to the ANC thanks to Kortbroekie van Schalkwyk
DA gives hope in western cape but create despair in the provinces they are not prepared to win . They look after their province & have no will to create explosive growth in the demographics that count in stronghold provinces. The country is dying under the ANC yet DA isnt able to grow significantly
Josh friend sounds like Douglas Murray lol
eff will clean that dam. DA has failed.
Clearly politics have treated this guy well. Where does his neck start and end?
Thanks, giid one, please invite Julius Malema next
He might be overweight, sure, at least he is logical, progressive and insightful. so chill out
I came here for the Zuma challenge. I saw the guy got murdered there
We must and will fight for our Land..same way our forefather the aim was to chase the European settlers back to the sea. Is important to secure Land rights Land rights for our Children grant children ...for our future generations still to cme ...Every child have the right to inherited what Belongs to his /her forefathers, grant parents and parents ...It happened with White Settlers in South Africa, their their children inherited Stuff .....Why not us where is ours...? Land is ourrs is our inheritance....And not for John Steenhuizen....
Do you think people anywhere else in the world gets free land ? What will you do with the land ? More informal settlements or ?
@@lolasoares1464 What free land are you talking about ..?since European settlers find us here on our Land we Live, eat, drink, and walk on..
Is our Land even explained in the Bible unless you believe in the scriptures...Who must give us free land, Who can sell our own property to us, our own heritage to us... Naturally it belongs to us...
@@lolasoares1464 What we expect is to gve back what is not Naturally attached to Settlers...that includes the free plots/farms was given to Dutch Settlers in Vereeniging/Midvaal erreas.cross the the Country....by the European NP Apartheid Goverment...
From your statement, I gather that you cannot be an EFF or MK supporter, as you wish to own land with title deeds that can be passed down to your children. Is this correct?
ANYTHING ELSE BUT ANC😢😂😢😂😂😂
People must stop comparing places,some people refuse to beter ther lives,,some got decent, amount of land and chose to not make a living on it,,now its even more difficult,, in E Cape great green pastures are being wasted,,,
They come run and flock here in Cape Town build shacks anywhere, they come here coz of job opportunities
Josh is somehow intelligent 🤏🏿🤏🏿🤏🏿
DA must and will fall!!!!!
All John does about anything is wrote strongly worded letters........ useless!
MY president
I always enjoy listening to John Steenhuisen and I admire him immensely
Forceful removal is real
We will tell the truth about our heritage that was taken away
Until u the DA is removed in SA
We will remind our generation s to come.
Colourful ❤
Who said forced removals did not happen ? And What does the DA have to do with them ?
....naaaaaa Durban is better Mr John Stententeheyzen😂😅. In Durban we have Ingonyama Trust land. Like Adams Mission , black people are building themselves dream houses, Thembeni just near the Toll gate in Groutville, black people have made a beautiful surbub for themselves. Inanda, Kwa Ncolosi, we are decorating the areal photograph independently from government. The houses Im talking about are better than surbub homes 🏡 😌. Anyways we are Zulus. We have our own land belonging to our tribe.
You in Cape Town yu are rolling out match box RDP Houses in a tinny piece of land.
Mr Stententeheyzen Sir 😂😅. I believed in the DA, until you displayed racism by expelling Musi Mayimane. But Cape Town is not as Ayoba as yu say; if 15% of the city is beutiful surrounded by shacks. But I will vote for DA since I hate ANC.
Love John and what the DA is doing but he does need to lose some weight. it is getting out of hand.
Don’t be a hypocrite Steenhuisen when a citizen reached out to DA for assistance against FSCA and Lamola and was rejected. “ The kettle calling the pot black” don’t make me😂
Sorry the ishaFoundation
Shut up is un-parliamentary 😆🤣 seriously!
Crime is way to high and not being dealt with at all we should give the DA a chance
Mr Steenhuizen doing great job thank goodness but he must go on diet 😆
