Well Zuma ousted him so not the Zuma faction. I think Mbeki is in his own faction because he gets nothing from Ramaphosa and has nothing good to say about him either.
I think she is a good administrator but she runs her mouth about stupid things.
2 biggest things were:
She said atheists can't be moral. Not only is this wrong but it also doesn't align with the secular nature of the party.
She said that colonialism was good, which I'm sure you can make...
Hard truth is that all (good) teams do it, even SA.
Its just one of those things, perhaps less prevalent since Australia took the blame.
How much reverse swing have we seen since the incident ?
Makes way more sense for the ANC to go with the DA so he has shot himself in the foot.
Ultimately the ANC will choose the option that gives them more power.
Sticking with the DA keeps the GNU alive as well.
Where did they say it was hung ?
I looked at the numbers now and the DA got more seats in JHB than MK got in ETH - so it could be that. remember the % doesn't mean as much as the seats.
Anyway, its probably more to do with the fact that JHB was so contested.
