Damn is this case still going on? That dude died over a decade ago. It must be costing the tax-payer a fortune. Shut it down and let his family find closure in the after-life. They will not be getting anything here.

Not sure why the moegoe judge is moaning either. After a decade another day here and there won't make a difference. He's still getting paid.

I wonder why they are desperately holding on to the farm thing, because that is a sure way to ensure that the motion is rejected. Why not frame it as rural safety?

People who live in smallholdings, plots and rural areas in general face the same challenge of being remote and not having enough crime fighting resources, in KZN rural areas a person has all the time in the world to hack 8 family members to death and get away with it with no one noticing, often the grim discovery being done later, why should it be a farm thing?

Most farmers are black so this is a good thing.

Some background on why I posted that,

While you were away yesterday @The_Right_Honourable_Brit was here pretending like he isn't aware that ministers, Premiers, Presidents and DPs are allowed to bring spouses along on overseas trips and the costs are covered by the state.

The next leader will have the best shot in the history of the DA to become the president of SA. It will be highly contested.

Agreed.

I think there are also other dark horses like McPherson - my gut tells me that he has a faction of support that is sympathetic to the ANC. However I tend to agree that Hill-Lewis is far and away the front runner and will likely do a fine job.

I don't think McPherson has mass support like that...

I like GHL too, but I think Pappas might be a good second option.

And most likely, a new Deputy Federal Leader position will be created (the previous motion failed by only a few votes in 2023)...

I'd also recommend Gwarube as Fedex Chair.
