Episode: The Arms Deal

Tonight The Big Debate tackles one of South Africa’s most controversial issues: the Arms Deal.
The largest transaction undertaken by our democratic government has been dogged by allegations of corruption. The ANC says it wants to move on to new priorities, and does not want to debate the Arms Deal anymore. But how do we move on, with corruption and money laundering investigations underway in several countries, a dark cloud hanging over our politicians?
Dan Moyane hosts a debate between former minister of Public Enterprises, Alec Erwin, one of the individuals responsible for the Arms Deal and some of the deal’s fiercest critics, including former ANC MP Andrew Feinstein, who was marginalised within the ANC when he refused to keep quiet on the issue.
