Have you seen Mrs Herman?
Can't say that I actually have... might be why I don't drink as heavily as Herman.

I love the bullshit that gets pandered.
One reason why I say it would be better on the opposition bench is because the parties in SA are not adult enough for coalitions
As soon as someone thinks they can get more $ backhanders the will raise a monc
Then we end up with 1%er parties having the mayoral position.
I wouldnt have agreed either

This was round 2 of PA backstabbing. The PA caused this when they dropped the coalition and the DA speaker got voted out. Round 2 was when ASA entered the chat with 2 MMC reward to the PA to come back to the coalition after they blew it up already in round 1:

Question is why did the DA feel entitled to the PA support but not willing to accommodate the PA in government? When ActionSA offered to give two positions to the PA they were trying to solve a problem the DA was supposed to have dealt with long ago.
If the PA was not part of the DA led government surely they could not have betrayed the DA led government? The trend is clear here, the DA got spoilt with getting support for free from the EFF and PA, it's fine if they did not see the need to formally include them in government, but why cry when the PA revoke their support?

The DA wanted the Freedom Front to sacrifice its position but had a problem when ActionSA offered to sacrifice its position?

I'm sure it was the particular MMCs that they wanted that were the problem, the juicy tender ones.

Watching this back and forth between @TheChamp and @wingnut771 has been traumatic. My conscience is telling me to report this murder to my local SAPS.

So working on the same Vein ...
When the GNU was created the president then afterwards went and created a whole ton of new deputy positions for his own cadre to feed.
The DA wasnt spoilt. They werent just going to reward bad behavior

Look you can understand why ASA is having an existential moment here. The ANC has basically given up. They have no PR councillors in any Gauteng metros, so they can only deploy their ward councillors. Who are not likely to be people who would be able to actually lead a metro. And even then, the ANC doesn't have enough votes to get it across the line, so they need a coalition of a bunch of small parties, that are all kingmakers that can collapse it at any stage they want if they cannot steal.
That leaves the DA. I suspect the main reason why ASA doesn't want Brink or Zille in the hotseat is because both of them know what the problems are and know how to fix them. A DA success would potentially cause what happened in Cape Town. In 2006, Zille took COCT with 42% of the vote. At the end of her term, and at the next elections, they got 61%. And they have clung onto that majority ever since.
No option is good for them. Either they go with the DA, things get better, service delivery improves, billing issues are sorted out, and they eventually lose as people realise Helen Zille and the DA are actually good for the country. . Or they throw their lot in with a horrid coalition of the ANC, EFF, MK and whomever else, all of whom want to steal as much as possible and don't care about anything else. Services deteriorate nothing happens, and at the next election they get destroyed.

And if they do this who gets to rob residents blind, every one of those parties has a cadre fleet that has to be fed. They will be killing each other off to make space at the trough.
