SA Politics Thread Part 10 : The GNU Has Crashed

While Tshwane was paving roads another sub station just went up in flames.

You could have no water in 70% of Johannesburg cause a burst pipe just passed Eikenhof.
Still not sure what all that maintenance was where they put in switches and valves to feed different pumping stations and such if Eikenhof still literally brings down 70% of JHB water.

Service delivery we can all touch and feel.

Ditsobotla, about three hours west of Joburg, achieved fleeting national fame in 2021 when Clover announced it was pulling its cheese factory out of the area due to what it politely called “poor service delivery”. It has since relocated to Queensburgh in Durban, despite threats of protest from trade unions and supplications from the North West provincial government.

Ditsobotla again achieved notoriety in 2022 when President Cyril Ramaphosa described it as a “horror show” that had been taken over by gangsterism. He was there on the election trail facing angry residents, whom he implored to return the ANC to power – only this time with better councillors. In the 2021 local elections, the ANC won a 50% majority with the DA and EFF winning about 14% each of the vote.

We know from the Auditor-General that the worst municipalities in SA are splattered across the Northern Cape, North West and Free State.

These municipalities have the same telltale signs of looting and neglect: electricity if you’re lucky, Eskom bills unpaid, taps running dry, poor water quality, and refuse collection a faint memory of a sunnier past.

NW court showdown could change the face of local government

Business organisation Sakeliga wants national government to take over the province's collapsed Ditsobotla Local Municipality. The case has much wider implications for local government in SA.

Trump attacks South Africa before Ramaphosa visit

The US has objected to a land bill that Ramaphosa signed late last year that will make it easier for the government to expropriate private property if it’s in the public interest.

Okes think it'll be easy for Rama because he's a "consummate diplomat" as Theo Venter called him last night on KykNet.

It's going to be the Zelensky incident on steroids, I feel.

Yes, pro-Ramaphosa analysts (this guy's predictions for SA's economy has been wildly off the mark) like the guy below is incredibly naive.

“The man has been chased by a police dog – do you think he’s frightened by Trump?” JP Landman, an independent political analyst, said at a panel discussion last week, referring to Ramaphosa’s role in the anti-apartheid struggle.


“You can’t predict these things, but he’s a very shrewd and experienced negotiator.”

Yeah no. Cyril may have his faults but unlike that po3s Zelesnky he does know how to behave in public.

That's why he's suddenly surrounding himself with white people. The genocide thing is nonsense, but it's only one issue, and it's the only thing Steenhuisen can support him on. There's all the discriminatory laws that he can't run from, and the "redress" narrative that he uses here, isn't going to work with Trump. Don't think it'll be Zelenskyy level, but he's going to be called out...

I actually think it makes no difference what Cyril is, or what Cyril wants.

Trump and his entourage will do what they want, and if they want to turn it into a Zelensky-type event, they will regardless of anything else.

Very odd way of putting it, almost like this wouldn't have happened if they were not paving roads.
