Then the DA can kiss Joburg Metro goodbye.
The "right wing elements" are advocating for abandoning the EFF coalition actually and Mashaba thinks it's a bad call. Personally I think the DA would be better served getting out of the arrangement with the EFF as they've had to make massive compromises to stay in power and can hardly get anything done in the city unless the EFF are in agreement and that means tolerating corruption just to say they are in control.

Is it just me or has the IRR becomes very assertive in the last few years? They always used to be there, but they have moved from a board room think tank to an organisation that is far more in the every day news. I suspect that their strategy is paying off.

What surprises me however is that Mashaba came from the FMF, an organisation that is more liberal than the IRR. I wonder if he is really sincere in his anti immigrant rhetoric.
The IRR have always been loudly opposed to ANC politics but in this case I agree with Mmusi that they're inserting themselves a little too close to the DA under the guise of saving SA opposition politics but only focussing on the DA.

The IRR was always close to the the DA, even Mmusi ask them for help with policy.

For the DA's bank balance too.
These workers bank balances are also not looking too bad. Economic freedom, in our lifetime.

"The City is very proud of the fact that the security officials who have already been insourced are receiving a basic salary of +/- R7 400, excluding benefits such as a pension fund, medical aid and funeral cover. These are benefits they previously never had, on top of a basic salary they never earned," he said.

So apparently the Gauteng DA is now the strongest region nationally and Zille's come back is an attempt to sway the ropes back to the Western Cape.

It has always been about centralising power in the WC, the script has been properly recited, look at IRR's choice of Alan Winde as leader.

Lol how do you get to this conspiracy nonsense.

Helen obviously wants to still micro manage "her" party, because in all her years there she didn't think to teach anyone what clasical liberal values are and now they're lost.
Mmusi must go because his identity politics will only cause more harm.
The fact that he is clinging to power just shows how useless he is, he is probably scared to go back to just being a pastor.
Fsck knows why Mashaba is confused and has decided to support Mmusi.

You actually have a really good post somewhere else. Auntie Pat did show us they will burn the house down in order to remove someone.

I think that is the way people are interpreting it. If it is what he is implying then I'm really at a loss for words. Zille is very far from right wing..
To some people, white means right. They are the new right, they just can't see it.

I wasn't referring to whites when I said they just don't see it. I was referring to the ones with blinkers on who see white=right. THEY are the new right.

You left out the third force.
