SA Politics Thread Part 11: The GNU Normal

[Sideshow Bob]

That's what the DA claimed in their pre election polls, they claimed they are now the biggest party in urban areas, but the election results proves otherwise.

Turning point: Diverse DA now the biggest political party in urban South Africa

The article below was published on Businesslive earlier today. Last month, the Social Research Foundation (SRF) released the findings of its latest research into South Africa’s political landscape. The poll was conducted among a sample of 3 204 randomly selected and representative registered...

After the 2024 election, the ANC is still the biggest party in:

JHB, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni, Mangaung, NMB, Buffalo City.

That's 6 out of 8 metros. Besides that they are also the biggest party in other big urban municipalities who are not metros in most provinces.

So I am very keen on seeing that data any time you get a chance.

Sorry man, this breyani from Aunty Shamima was too good so I said I am DA supporter when they asked me in that poll.

You are forgiven, but a 6 week course in how to resist the charms of Zille and other enemies of the revolution will be booked for you.

You're putting words in my mouth that I didn't say. I said the DA likely get a higher share (albeit still small) in urban black wards than rural ones. I never made any claim about the DA being the most popular urban party.

I appreciate the efforts. I did ask for falafel next time but they were rather rude to me.

Oh? My bad and apologies for misreading that, I thought you were talking about the DA claim, I do agree with you that the DA will be more popular among urban black people, as long as we both agree that the DA was talking nonsense saying they are the biggest party in urban areas, I am happy.

Jees bra, the entitlement of asking a DA aunty to make falafel. Its not a restaurant boss.

I get it. Next time I go to PA and not DA since all falafel aunties have deserted DA.

Trade with our freedom and sovereignty? That is the deal he wants and that is a deal he is not going to get.

Trade with our freedom and sovereignty? That is the deal he wants and that is a deal he is not going to get.

But go ahead and vote for the DA, win elections and give him what he wants.

So instead you're happy for the ANC to trade with our economy and the jobs of many 10s or 100s of thousands of citizens because "West ev0l" and Russia/Iran/etc betterer cos we're all about freedom and whatevers.

Even the ANC's ersthwhile ally (not sure if they still are given they are competing with the ANC in elections) NUMSA are worried:

Eastern Cape on its knees, Numsa warns government of jobs ‘catastrophe’

With 1 August set as the date on which sky-high tariffs will be imposed on SA exports to the US, anxiety levels are high in the Eastern Cape.

Of course they are, they stand to lose 10s of thousands of members and their membership dues.

This one? I must say I was hurt at my crush (platonic if I may hasten to add) doing this but I moved on.

Everyone is worried, that's not a problem, but I would be super impressed if Numsa believes we should give in to Trump's demands, I know they have jumped over to the other side but still...

So which of Trumps demands are actually generally problematic for our own economic growth?

Am happy for you to campaign for your party, win the election and then be the government that gives Trump everything he demands, I am a fair man like that.

Apartheid was very good for the country's economic growth of the country at some point, I don't know what point you think you are making.

There isn't a single demand of Trump we agree with, most especially those that seeks to do away with our redress policies.
