AfriForum ramps up campaign to replace Panyaza Lesufi as Gauteng education MEC

[blah99]

Who cares what the low IQ majority believe? Don't tell me high IQ minorities are stooping down to those levels of thinking, it would be very tragic.

The DA should care. They need the votes.

Have a look on twitter. Look at the utterances if the EFF and ANC. Its all over the news....every day.

Twitter isn't majority.

Twitter isn't majority.

You didn't read further than the word twitter did you?

Surely the last straw for all the Freedom Front aligned, right leaning DA supporters.

If the DA support the racist EFF, and in light of their support of the racist Lesufi, many may well leave them.

I agree 100%, they need votes, all votes. Sometimes that means taking a position that is contrary to the likes of Afriforum, especially in this case where Afriforum's position is motivated by their petty fight with Panyaza. The have stuck to fact and logical reasoning, instead of emotional arguments, that will get them a couple of votes.

You do know that people can't leave the DA for Afriforum as they aren't a political party????

I did. News are pulled from twitter sometimes. Whatever Julius and his cabal post on twitter usually ends up as front page of some daily blad.

I'd like to think DA supporters are bright enough to understand the dynamics of the political space the DA is playing in, if they don't understand that now and again the DA would find themselves in an unpleasant position of choosing between two evils to realise their long term goalsthen maybe I overestimated them.

Again are we pretending we don't know that Afriforum and Freedom Front are in the same Whatsapp group?

People who are aligned to Afriforum's ideas are most likely aligned to the Freedom Front. Let's simply put it this way, Afriforum and Solidarity are to the Freedom Front what the SACP, SANCO and Cosatu are to the SACP. Yes there would be a couple of exception here and there but generally it's the same thing.

The EFF have a fanatical hatred of whites. This goes beyond pragmatism.

I think you under estimate the conflict between Lesufi and Afrikaans speaking people in general.

Lesufi has made it his life's mission to kill Afrikaans at all levels in education and this brings him in conflict with both White and Brown Afrikaans speakers who insist on mother tongue education.

The idiot is not very clued up as far as his own portfolio is concerned and he has clearly not read up about the importance of mother tongue education. In the process he is placing all non-English speaking children in a very difficult position. Black parents do not care or do not understand the consequences of Lesufi's policies. Afrikaans speaking parents, on the other hand, are clever enough to understand and resist Lesufi's policies. That is where Afriforum comes in.

'While there was no excuse for failing to follow Treasury regulations, it could not be said that Lesufi was a corrupt MEC who stole money.'

Pathetic. Agree with Gareth here.

He has odd ways of realising his life mission. And a nice racist brush you have there to paint black parents with, why can't they care or understand the consequences of Panyaza's actions?

The department have already changed their story about Afrikaans at township schools. The story you are quoting is old. The latest is in Beeld this morning.

There is nothing racist in my comment about Black parents no caring about Lesufi's policies. Maybe you can tell me why they do not care about mother tongue education while all the studies make it absolutely clear on how extremely important it is for the future development of a child.

I am sure that Black parents can see that their children are not doing as well in school as the average Afrikaans or English speaking child. Surely they realise that it is about the medium of instruction and not the ability of their children?
