On this week’s episode of Politricking with Tshidi Madia, Dean Macpherson joins Tshidi Madia for a candid discussion. He opens the discussion by reflecting on the lessons learnt from being part of the GNU as the DA and says that the party hopes they can better approach any future coalition agreements. With only just two weeks since the budget was presented before parliament after the initial budget speech was cancelled, Dean speaks about the progress that has made within the GNU parties to find common ground. He shares why the DA went to the United States and goes to share their stance on the country’s foreign policy. He shares his thoughts on his new role as Minister of Public Works and tensions that exist between him and his deputy. He goes on to the share some of the work that he is managed to do since his appointment and the effort he is putting in with his team to bring change to the department so it can live up to its full potential. He closes the conversation by explaining how he will be implementing the expropriation act and speaks about challenges of managing government work and political works.
