Chris Pappas On Beating The ANC, Corruption Accusations And The DA's Trust Problem
Chris Pappas is the Democratic Alliance's Premier candidate in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Pappas has shot to nationwide attention in the last few years after becoming the only DA mayor in KZN, and is now attempting to dethrone the ANC in the province. In this exclusive interview, we ask him the questions that the country has been wondering about.

Dan, dont stop. This is exactly what the country needs!
Can we please have more of these discussions, ESPECIALLY since we have to get 12 million people to register to vote and make sure that they do partake in the voting process.
The inevitable Julius-Dan interview is gonna break the internet 🤞

Maybe if people stopped hating on the DA cause they have white members and paid attention to what they are doing they would realise sooner.
I feel like lot of South Africans don't understand how important the 2024 elections are, 12 million (I stand to be corrected) South Africans are not registered to vote and we are few months away. Anyways, thank you Dan and Chris for this awesome interview.
this is exactly what the country needs young leaders who are thinking about the future not the past.
I like this guy. It's a sad fact that we have to be immediately suspicious of all politicians in this country, but Chris doesn't seem to be trying to screw us over for his own benefit, which puts him in the top echelon of polititans in this country
Let's all vote for this guy as youth,there is future here.
I wish to see Chris as a Premier of KZN because I think that KZN would turn great under his leadership given the job he did as a mayor
I really like Mr Pappas and the show but I truly wish we stop calling politicians LEADERS. They are Public servants.

Dan, you’re amazing. Chris, I need you as my president mate.
Smart guy. I have a great deal of admiration and respect for Chris Pappas. Wish him lots of good luck. Hope he is able to triumph over all the rot in KZN. Unfortunately, the rot is so widespread and deeply rooted in all ANC dominated areas throughout South Africa. In an ideal South Africa, we wouldn't have scum ruling the country.

The DA has many inspiring young leaders like Chris Pappas!! Do you know for instance that the young Mayor of Cape Town, Geordin Hill Lewis, is spending a whopping and unprecedented 75 % of the City of Cape Town's budget this year on uplifting and building new infrastructure in previously disadvantaged areas of the City such as Kayelitsha and Phillipi? The young Mayor is passionate about reducing inequality in his City! Vote DA in 2024 to save our beautiful country from ANC mismanagement and corruption!! See " Budget comparison confirms Cape Town delivers the most for the poor while offering ratepayers value for money ", Daily Maverick/ "Cape Town breaks all time record for municipal infrastructure spending", Cape Business News.
I'll be honest. If DA made this man their president, I'd be voting DA without a shadow of doubt.

Well done Mr Pappas, you are a true leader, one that actually cares about the country and her people! When the Organic Humanity Movement (OHM) gets enough seats in the coming election (and we will 🙂) then you Pr Pappas will stand a very good chance of becoming our president one day when THE PEOPLE can actually vote for their own president. If Dan Corder will be clever enough also to get Lauren Evanthea (founder/leader of OHM) on the show and have a chat with her. OHM is the ONLY party that wants complete system change, not THAT will be a top-class interview!!!

Pappas for KZN❤
Dan you gave real good questions. Papas said the DA is finished with racial politics but he is the stereotypical racial politic candidate. I really was thinking he would bring a different new feel to the narrative we have of the DA but he continued to reinforce what we have always thought of about the party. Worse the DA and IFP coalition wont win the Province because they played right into the hands of the ANC with the ANC always labelling IFP as Apartheid sympathises in the province. The IFP has cost itself a lot of votes in the Province through this. Well lets all go vote 2024 and hope for the best for this nation
This man is a hero

They just make me fill forms and never get back to me until I call again to beg then for government funding to commence my own business. I won't say the place that did that but they're so corrupted

If not your reign will not be fruitful..however you are standing for basic fundamentals...only God can save South Africa.

I love Chris Pappas. He's a hero amongst a lot of communities but we are also jealous of Umgeni Municipality. I hope people vote.
A gay Zulu... Where have I heard that before
Well done Dan on your interview... Congrats on your channel growth... Just a little insight for your further interviews: let the interviewee speak... Sometimes you cut Chris off and interjected a question mid answer from him... As an interviewer, you just need to provide the platform for the interviewee to express themselves... You shouldn't steer it too much... But it'll come with experience 😁 keep going bud!
I’m not happy that you’re a Pirates fan but I love your content and I’m a great supporter of your channel.
This was an OK interview but it is disappointing that Dan didn't ask more questions related to what practical steps Pappas has taken to improve service delivery in Umgeni. SA fails mostly with the nuts&bolts of practical service delivery. Policy and strategy and political speak we've heard as nauseum. What we want to hear is how one does effective road maintenance in a rural municipality on a constrained budget.

If the DA wants to govern SA, every potential DA public representative must be able to speak the local African language. Why should any African bother to listen to you if you do not address them in their own language? For me this is a no-brainer.

I agree in theory, but how do you decide which language someone has to learn? And it does rub me up the wrong way to make speaking a language a sort of legal requirement, even if the intention is good. Sometimes, people are really not good at learning new languages, and this is especially true if you are trying to learn as an adult. The main thing to look at is if someone's policies and overall track record is in alignment with a democratic and corruption free SA.
