No, no, as you've said before, it's a free forum and I can respond to whoever I want and how I want.

"I'm NoT ThE ToPiC HeRe, We WiLL nOT bE BuLLieD"

Using your logic, where MPs have vested interests and where they get money from is no one's business...

Then we are Ramaphosa-level shocked when we find out MPs are being bribed or participating in corrupt deals.

MPs have to declare where they get the money from, even if it's from friends and family. The rules aren't suddenly put on hold because family and friends are involved.

@The_Right_Honourable_Brit Do you have access? Seems like Zondo is going to touch some studios here...

Yeah, read the article - basically he was in pain at having to swear in members who were fingered in the report (i.e. Uncle Gweezy) and also noted that some of those named in report have been promoted to Cabinet level positions which is why he is skeptical of the value of this other commission into the police.

The President of the Greatest Liberation Movement of all time will be addressing the summit of Liberation Movements.

There was no liberation in South Africa. Therefore, the liberation movement you're mentioning failed in its liberation attempt and cannot thus be considered the greatest liberation movement of all time.

Come now, think of it, they are the greatest cos they failed the hardest.

Since failure is pretty much a common thread with all liberation movements.

That they still exist as liberation movements is the tragedy. All stuck in the 1960s as the world moves on.

Another way of looking at it is how useless the opposition parties are and how voters don't see them as an alternative.

If I was an opposition party I woukd ask myself serious questions, but ke we know, it's much easier to insult the voter.

The voter isn't without fault. Theyre all running off to other countries instead of fighting for better governance, real technological progress in their lands.

The issue is ALL these parties acting like a bunch of fscking kids, all more focused on attacking each other, instead of taking their jobs as public servants seriously. Parties like the EFF helped normalise it. Can't remember the last time our national assembly was actually professional...

That's the attitude I am talking about, there are enough voters in the country, blaming those who are leaving doesn't make any sense.

You always get it, you are the first person to get it when I suggested the ANC and DA should form an alliance and the worshippers led by Mustafa and @Priapus descended on me like rabid dogs.

That is exactly why the ANC would probably govern with 10%, for example there us no single reason why the biggest opposition party cannot rise above pettiness against smaller parties like ActionSA, Rise and BOSA, I do understand when it comes to EFF and MK.

We are going towards local elections and the time to dwell on unnecessary fights is long past for opposition parties, for example, the DA voting against the ActionSA speaker in Joburg for no reason besides pettiness.
