Retired chief justice Mogoeng Mogoeng says running for president ‘is a calling on my life’

[wingnut771]

It depends. President is elected by parly.

That's the theory yes, and who picks parly?

That's the theory yes, and who picks parly?

I was expecting that question. What happens if ANC constituency declines and another party gets more votes?

I would expect continuous motions of no confidence and a stalled parliament.

True. However, that is not the point.

 

[wingnut771]

True. However, that is not the point.

Okay, we can finally have a President that is not the President of a Party and we can separate Party and State.

" he knows he is meant to be president of SA"

You don't. If you truly believed it you would not be mouthing it off everywhere to try to coerce others into believing it. Real faith is quiet and waits patiently. South Africa has more than enough religious fraudsters as it is thank you very much.

I think he was responding to a direct question on presidential ambitions.

 

[G'Wobblez]

How old is he?

And likely no longer separate church and state.

 

[Galactica]

How old is he?

Only 61.

 

[G'Wobblez]

Only 61.

He should almost retire not be president of anything

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

​

Well, if we have a coalition government, that may no longer be the case.

 

[wingnut771]

Well, if we have a coalition government, that may no longer be the case.

Oh, 100%, I was talking about ANC government can't have 2 chiefs because they don't know the difference between Party and State.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Well, if we have a coalition government, that may no longer be the case.

Thankfully a coalition government would have infinitely better options than moegoe and his bible.

 

[Galactica]

He should almost retire not be president of anything

That's young by SA politics standards.

 

[G'Wobblez]

That's young by SA politics standards.

I know and its a bit screwy.

Someone with similar beliefs to Mogoeng has risen to power in Kenya.

 

[CommonSense]

The man seems to display mental instability at unpredictable intervals. Not a great trait in a presidential capacity.

I know who will be a perfect Deputy to this one. A certain Hlaudi Motsoeneng springs to mind.

I always like this bloke’s easy to member name.

Just behind Scot Scott.

Ok and? Doesn't change the fact that its a fscking bad idea in general, and Moegoe is a backwards retard who should not be given any more power ever again.

 

[SykomantiS]

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.

Problem is, I'm not so sure we have any of those. Certainly not within the cANCer and I still don't think we're at a point in time where opposition parties are a realistic alternative. ANC still holds too much power.
