Time for leverage and empty threats has long passed, this is serious.

If a President stayed in power just because some thought there was no viable replacement, politics would be much different. When it's your time to go, you go.

That's exactly what has been thought, widely, since he was elected.

It was always an option, but one DA was hesitant to use.

Now, DA has said publicly that they would, seeing that ANC refuses to play nice.

And we both know Mashaba and Mmusi are nothing but DA bitter exes. And they are more than willing to support anything in the hopes of getting the DA's Cabinet posts (The same GNU Mashaba complains about daily, he was more than happy to join during the budget crisis).

Pull the other leg.

The problem I see is that for some odd reason you seem so entitled to ActionSA and Rise's support, it's entirely possible that they would not support the DA motion simply because they don't believe there are enough grounds for a MONC against Cyril, have you considered that?

The DA has on a number of occasions refused to support the MONC against Cyril, why should it be out sheer spite if other parties do it? The DA is not the authority on what is right and wrong.

It's not like the DA would support a MONC against CR tabled by either of those parties. The DA voted to out an ASA speaker in Joburg out of spite as well. If anyone is spiteful only the DA have the practical experience.

Exactly, but in Mustafa's mind, not supporting the DA makes you a bitter ex but the DA not supporting the other parties is sound and principled reasoning.

Oh, spare me. Also, RISE and BOSA are not the same unless you're implying...

On ActionSA, they've been running on nothing but spite for the DA, even when they were in coalition with them... So no, I honestly don't think they'd give a "valid reason" otherwise...
