And there it is. Took him long enough.

P.S I'm glad I'm not the only one suspicious about his mental state.

But that means stalemate.
ANC doesn't want to throw DA out, DA doesn't want to budge unless ANC throws them out.
A game of 69D Chicken?

If they take their manifestos and delete everything that is not common and then only focus on those until the municipal elections they would actually get a lot of shyte done.
But they are so stuck in the extremes that they believe one another to be the enemy.

ASA and BOSA are thrashing in the water, trying not to drown.

True, thanks to Musk whispering in his ear.
But AF just went and not only fanned the flames there but locally too.

Btw this is the second time Herman wanted to shut down this specific journalist with Apartheid ramblings. The first time was in 2019...

Oi! Leave me out of this...
Herman is a one trick pony... When he doesn't get his way you get "Apartheid"

Not really. He's to the US and Trump what the Guptas were to SA and Zuma. You'll see in time...
Trump is a Putin pawn destroying America from within.

It does seem that the DA will remain within the GNU. From how it looks, they are bargaining on the long term. For trade, well, it is a positive, but we need to remember that our existing and new markets will either react positively or negatively to Trump's trade war, hence might, and will, impact our relations with those nations. This is the only positive that I can take away, but there will be downsides.
What I do dislike about the DA at the moment is that they are blaming our Rand/market slump on the uneasiness that is experienced with the GNU, when this is a global phenomenon which must be recognised as such. Yes, what is happening within the GNU and the budget are contributing to the Rand and domestic markets.
Trump is attacking everyone, why pin it on an individual civil society organisation? Now the DA is playing to the ANC's tune.
For the DA's part, I hope that they are playing their cards right. Neither is the GNU a two-party structure, so there is more than two weights to the power sharing.
Maybe there will be changes made to the GNU... minorities being cut?
At this stage, the DA and FF+ are going at each other in the Western Cape. I don't think the DA wish to have the FF+ in the GNU. Today it was announced that the FF+ lost their ward 9 candidate to the DA, and in that discussion Leon Schreiber described the FF+ as an irrelevant small party. Their battle continues.
All in all. For the DA to have more power-sharing within the GNU, greater concessions will have to be made. Without knowing what is going on, I can only assume that this is the negotiation taking place. Business at this point would blame the right-leaning community, and business do play a role in governance.
Anyhow. I do question whether I will continue to vote DA. There is still time to change my mind.

Musk gave us SpaxeX, Tesla, Starlink and much more. What did the Guptas give us?

You can keep coping, but the strat is the same. Rich businessmen controlling a head of state.
We've seen this movie.

I can relatively agree with you, on the other hand, I can see the strat they're using. The average SA'n doesn't really know about Trump's retardation...
This is because FF+, under Mulder's leadership when he still lead FF+ WC, threw the DA to the wolves in multiple coalitions to shack up with the ANC for no reason.
A good example of this, is my muni...
