@The_Right_Honourable_Brit is praising him all the way from Cape Town
Our boy Mustafa or whatever he is called these days is praising him from Oudshoorn.

I know you people have eyes and ears everywhere but we are here and can tell you Brink was useless without relying on second hand information.

Aren’t you the same guy who told us that there is no water crisis in JHB and that we are all liars?

Hundreds of thousands in Joburg go without water — mayor AWOL

In the radio silence from authorities, Johannesburg’s active citizens stepped into the crisis. WhatsApp groups with reach across all communities pinned locations and shared information on where to find water; they also liaised with Johannesburg Water and did their best to support vulnerable people.

Mbalula is having a briefing on Mkhwanazi. Mkhwanazi did not accuse the ANC, he accused a government minister and people in the police, so why the hell is Mbalula spending so much time on this instead of letting the government deal with it? He already gave interviews and released a statement, that should be enough. The lady doth protest...

Lack of chemistry between SA leaders spells big problems for the GNU

The spat over whether the DA is disobeying the President by refusing to join the National Dialogue is indicative of a major problem within SA’s national coalition. There is no chemistry between the leaders of the DA and the ANC, which threatens to poison the entire arrangement.

Ignore the braindead article as a whole from the low IQ "political analyst" Grootes, but focus on this tidbit:

On Friday, President Cyril Ramaphosa said the DA’s refusal to join the National Dialogue was the “worst form of hypocrisy”. Others in the ANC have said that if DA leader John Steenhuisen refused to join the interministerial committee driving the process, it would be an act of defiance against the President.

This shows that while the DA’s announcement that it would not join the dialogue was initially viewed as a weak response to the sacking of the DA’s deputy minister Andrew Whitfield, it has hit home with Ramaphosa and the ANC.

People should start following the DA's lead and give themselves 48 hours before making jokes

It may shock you to find out that the latest round of corruption allegations involve ANC ministers, who are political appointments and can be fired immediately by the ANC NEC (who tell Ramaphosa when to pull up his pants on the beach in Rio)

ANC is trying to put out fires, hence the 18 trillion statements by ANC and Mbalula...

Damage control.

And the public in general don't seem to be buying it.

Stupid question. You don't need to be an analyst to realist this would have been buried deeper than a MFer if he brought it up internally. Mkhwanazi should probably have said why he chose to go so public. Not sure he did haven't seen it all i read.

Babita Deokaran chose to bring it up internally.

Unfortunately in this country if you don't raise it publicly, with names attached, your life is in danger.

It's probably why they wanted him to raise it internally, so they could make the problem go away without having to answer for it...

Especially since he has a name for 'shooting first and asking questions never'... Would have been easy to explain away why he was gunned down at that point if he'd raised it internally with no public scrutiny
