Your crew are far more balanced than other programmes, including Nuuspod. I just wrote to Izak who read out various comments from his subscribers with each one attacking Liam Jacobs for leaving the DA. Please read my letter below just sent to Izak. I know he will never publish it as it is anti DA. In my opinion your best programme is Chris and Neil on Sundays. Why dont you consider getting young Liam Jacobs and perhaps Gayton on to explain his and the PA side of the story.Thanks for keeping us informed regularly on honest "happenings"in South Africa and abroad..My letter to Nuuspod.Meeste van julle luisteraars is DA "supporters." Selfs Izak probeer neutraal speel maar hy in my opinie is hy ook n DA "wolf in sheep's clothing." Baie van die kommentaar wat Izak nou net gelees het oor Liam Jacobs is sonder feite gewees. Dis maklik om stories te skrywe oor die dia DA "training programs"wat Liam gekry het, Die blanke DA "stooges"soos Marke Burke her dit ook gekry.Hoekom kry Izak nie vir Sandile Swana op julle Nuuspod om te verduidelik hoekom so baie Swart en Kleurling leiers die DA verlaat nie. Hierdie nuus word deur die groot media stil gehou. Herman Mashaba, Mmusi Maimane, Khume Ramulifho,Makashule Gana,Mbali Ntuli, Phumzile van Damme,Funzela Ngobeni, Abel Tau, Patricia de Lille en nou Liam Jacobs is net n paar nie blanke leiers wat die DA verlaat het. Kry hulle in die Nuuspod studio en ook Liam Jacobs om sy kant te gee.
