SA Politics Thread Part 11: The GNU Normal

[OutlawJoseyWales]

As stated from today onwards by the BG gang on MyBB.

When Cyril speaks positively about the DA, he's not telling fibs.

When he speaks about anything else, especially transformation, everything he says is a lie.



You people seriously need medication.

Keep trying, keep trying harder, maybe you will actually convince someone, anyone, that you mean what you say.

But I reckon this is you right now without a doubt:

DA never beating the allegations. It's always business first and people after with this party.

Since they joined government, the private sector has been in our faces at every turn. Banks taking over Home Affairs duties, Takealot has entered universities and colleges etc.

State capacity being diminished.

Wait... are you a socialist or communist?

Do you think capitalism is the right path for SA?

That's just crazy.
Gayton taking the money for his own project to boost his image and everyone else gets nothing.

Anyone surprised?

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

The right wingers have never been a bright bunch.

This dude has skills, he's learnt how to hack life and cadre brains!

See you should learn from the DA. Myciti is better.

I'd prefer if other cities didn't learn to close down bus routes, as the DA is doing with MyCiti.

Nah, rural coloureds vote with their heart, not with their head. I know some urban coloureds who can see right through people like Gayton 'Flashy' McKenzie (maybe because they have experience with similar types) but the rural coloured vote is locked in for the PA in 2029. Of course, once their councillors fail to bring change to these people's lives, I hope that the PA experiences vote shedding. I mean, remember when McKenzie was going to make Beaufort West the Dubai of the Central Karoo?

Actually closing routes or modifying them?

Also how many routes?

I live in a city with massive bus lanes, and no busses have ever used them.

Closures and reductions:

MyCiTi | MyCiTi Airport Service suspended as from 1 December

MyCiTi | Service adjustments – 1 October 2022

As for empty lanes. I lived near seperate two bus lane projects that have been under construction for about 10 years in Cape Town.

The DA would never have elected Panyaza as Premier of he was involved in dodgy things.

Cyril would never have thrown Panty under the bus like he did, if he just pumped those numbers up

Ought to be interesting. I can see many here on MyBB fuming after this interview.

" the people shall govern, after they have taken notes from the DA on how to actually govern"

The TikTokker doesn't know what he wants and if he thinks he will make much of an impact in the DA's strongest metro, he is greatly mistaken.

The TikToker will hold the DA accountable.

 

[Inertia]

The TikToker will hold the DA accountable.

The president of the ANC will never let the best run city be threatened in such a way

 

[CTBP]

The TikToker will hold the DA accountable.

He lost all credibility when he joined the criminal.

Squirrel is already plotting with ugogo to get rid of him, like they did with herman

 

[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

The TikToker will hold the DA accountable.

Except he has no credibility and this will all end in tears for the young man who had a promising career ahead of him but threw it all away.

Well done to the DA. Far easier hold than expected. A reminder that in 2024, there was only a 4 percentage point difference between the DA and MK.

East London ‘ghost town’ warning if Mercedes-Benz grinds to a halt

Following the US imposing 30% tariffs on imports from SA.

East London could become a ghost town if Mercedes-Benz South Africa (MBSA), an anchor of the local economy, comes to a grinding halt.

This stark warning came from Mikel Mabasa, CEO of the automotive business council Naamsa, on Wednesday during his address at the DealerCon conference in Sandton.
