SA Politics Thread Part 11: The GNU Normal

[ToxicBunny]

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.

Thats nice.

Are you going to finally accept that your beloved NewNP didn't win the election?

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

FTFY

There is a revolution taking place?

Yes. @TheChamp's tap has failed to produce any water so he's going to call all his friends and neighbours and they are going to sing and dance around it

Maybe burn a tyre or three around the handle

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.

ANC chose to act like a superpower. They strutted around flapping their wings and made a whole lot of impressive quacking noises for their audience back home thinking the bluff will surely pay off. Now it's time to FO.

Lol. So useless. Just waiting/being passive. No Plan B. The ANC is too ideologically rigid to show any flexibility towards BEE.

SA awaiting feedback on US trade deal, says Tau

As deadline looms.

Sticking points to achieving a deal include the nation’s black empowerment policies that were introduced after 1994 to address racial disparities stemming from colonial and apartheid rule, Zane Dangor, the director-general of South Africa’s foreign affairs department, told a panel discussion earlier on Tuesday.

“What is bedeviling the issue is some of the demands that are being made,” he said.

“They were quite clear that there are certain things they expect from South Africa and black economic empowerment was high on the agenda.”

These guys are living in fairy land.

Trump isn't even giving them the time of day by not attending the G20.

He's just a racist and like Apartheid Victim! you know, how could he be like that.

Instead of actually flying to the US and meeting with the Trump administration like everyone else has, the ANC pops them an email.

There are no negotiations folks. They are gaslighting the entire country.

Anyone not listening to News 24 should know this by now

There's probably nothing SA could do to appease Trump. It's just a loss the country got to take. Pivot onto other market regions and move on. Can't have your policies being dictated by some madman like imperial times. I'm sure business with America will continue but some will cease.

One thing you celebrating rightwingers forget is that Trump is acting to isolate America so this isn't necessary a slight on the ANC and some of their misguided policies. But the rightwing aren't smart enough to see the bigger picture.

Rasool was tossed out of the US after going full retard calling Trump the leader of a global white supremacy movement and Jonas is a chairman at MTN, which currently is suspected of bypassing global sanctions against Iran and providing the Iranian Regime with cellular technology.

These two jokers, are who the ANC picks to "do a deal" with the US.
