He just has to be better than JZ and CR then we'll say God's choice didn't turn out that bad.
Maybe you can say that.. But not for me, we need someone who is smart enough not to let their religious beliefs interfere with the job of running the country... It takes a very mature person to be able to do that and mogoe over there isn't that person.

He was not a Zuma cohort, but plenty of his other actions and statements have been questionable, whether ill informed or deliberate.

Don't you think any other president or leader is influenced by their personal beliefs? I'm sure other presidents are as well.

Oh without a doubt they are.. But they don't proclaim that they are doing the Lords calling or other religious stuff.

It's all about perceptions, if you are seen to be putting your beliefs above everything else you are a problem, we already knew that Mogoeng has a problem but Covid-19 really helped to make everyone appreciate the magnitude of the problem, the guy must be kept as far away as possible from any position of influence, it was clear that he was struggling in his position as CJ because his beliefs kept on getting in the way.

Who to elect as a neutral President to cut ribbons and hold babies as well as a convenient scapegoat in a hung parliament?

DA - John Steenhuisen?
EFF- Julius Malema?
ACTION SA- Mashaba?

Parties with the most votes to receive the most Ministries, where most of the power is at.

Yeah, what happens if this dude bans free condoms? That's the only government handout I agree with.

Hi Mogoeng Mogoeng, you do realise you can't have a State President that is not the ANC President, that is counter-revolutionary.
