First election results in

[Mila]

Well this is just a confirmation to the First Thief that the populace agrees with his looting.

So why the hell would he stop?

That implies that the DA managed to frame these elections around those issues. While they managed to partially do so, for most people these elections were clearly not about those issues

Do you think ANC voters decide who they're going to vote for based on what the DA says?

And it's because 'it's not about those issues' that we have things like Nkandla.

And the ANC are taking their victory as a sign that the voters are happy with how they operate.

This is going to be painfull, just wait and listern to the comments from anc once counting if finalised. Pain in the rear

DA needs another million votes to breakeven with 2009....

 

[Flip-Flop]

I wonder why the DA came out of that with clean hands...

If you do not know that you cannot run for president on behalf of another party without actually joining that party then you should not be in politics.

I think between the ANC and their bed buddy EFF they will do whatever the hell they want, 66.6% will just be icing on the cake.

 

[Unhappy1]

I dont think the ANC will make up the other 3.6% to get 66.6%

DA needs another million votes to breakeven with 2009....

Should be ok, dont think they are even at the half way point.

Can we see the maths you used to get that assumption?

 

[Flip-Flop]

Something is going down in Alexandra. Police deployed and rumors of party reps taken hostage. Anyone know more?

 

[samuelp]

How can the ANC get 66,66 % when most of the remaining ballots count come from Gauteng ?

Gauteng is more 55% ANC

If they wanted to change the constitution, they could have done so many times by now.
What is up with the fear mongering?

They are the ones who wrote the Constitution to begin with, so the fear mongering logic doesn't follow. No wonder we have a weak opposition even though it has the biggest media resources.

Uhm...

President Jacob Zuma has made it clear the ANC would change the Constitution if it managed to get a two thirds majority at the polls.

Same article contains a very relevant part about why the ANC can basically act with impunity. Because of idiots like this:

But Thuli Majozi, an unemployed mother, summed up Zuma’s popularity in the province. “Madonsela must just tell how much she wants Zuma to pay and we will raise that money,” she said.

That is the truth... Anc see they can be as corrupt as they want to be, they'll still get voted in. I thought at least with the e-tolls , Nkandla etc they would get less votes.. but now I see they get the thumbs up.. wtf.

The people who wrote the constitution are mostly dead or retired from politics now. The mob in charge now have very little in common with the old school greats.

Maths that made me think they wont get the extra 3.6% ? Who said i used maths? It was my personal opinion and i was quite clear about that.

I dont think the ANC will make up the other 3.6% to get 66.6%

As Zuma puts it, only "clever blacks" worry about Nkandla, ordinary party members don't care. A lot of people actually think he deserves a nice palace as president.

Sad but true. Building a house for your family in your home town is a very noble thing in the township and rural areas, so not everyone is sad about Nkandla. They may be angry that it toook R240m but they are not angry that he did it, in fact they admire him for it. Another example of how misguided the DA can be sometimes. They could have taken a different angle to this whole thing.

Remember that most ANC voters dont' have cars, so they don't care about e-tolls. We should be able to separate middle class politics from the working class politics.

I guess it's only us mybb users who see things that way and feel the pinch. The rest of the sheep don't even know it's our tax money being used for grants and rdp houses. Fk

Well this is just a confirmation to the First Thief that the populace agrees with his looting.

So why the hell would he stop?

So many intelligent black callers on 702 came on today to make the following point :

While they didn't approve of Zuma, Black people were voting for the Anc not out of blind loyalty and emotion, but because that was the party that they had seen make the most progress for them.

So many people calling black people stupid for voting to the Anc fail to take this simple point into account: They are able to separate the president from the party who in their opinion has done a lot to improve their lives. That's wonderful that people here have opinions on behalf of black people that the Anc has done nothing to improve their lives. The problem is you didn't stop to ask them if that was true. To them the opposite is true and in their experience the Anc has done a good job in improving their lives. That's why you're getting confused about them being stupid to vote the Anc. The supporters of the Anc vote Anc despite Zuma. That's just how well the Anc has done to improve their lives.

I know we don't like that fact because the only politically correct way for the "previously advantaged" to criticise the Anc HATEFULLY is through the proxy of appearing to represent the views of the poor black people who we insist are getting a bad deal. That's why they HATE the Anc. But when the poor black people disagree they are getting a bad deal and continue to vote the Anc then what's the reponse ?

Call them stupid ! Makes one question the sincerity of the initial implied motive for "hating the Anc".

Also, it was not just written at the snap of fingers. It was negotiated.

Where Did I call them Stupid?
