First explain to me this strange notion of the gang wanting to tell me what to comment on, who bestowed you with the powers?

No. Why should I? I owe you nothing and won’t be told what to do by you.

You’ll note I did not ask you to do anything.

Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube on Thursday gazetted two sets of regulations dealing with school capacity and admission.

Controversial provisions of the Bela Act​

The Bela Act has drawn sharp criticism from some quarters since its inception. Key flashpoints include:

  • Language policies – The law gives provincial education departments the final say on a school’s language policy, a function previously held by school governing bodies (SGBs). Critics argue this could undermine community control of schools.
  • Homeschooling regulations – Parents who homeschool must now register annually and follow a prescribed curriculum, with assessments overseen by the department.
  • Admission powers – Provincial heads of department can now override an SGB’s decision on learner admissions if deemed discriminatory or exclusionary
 
Kind of wild that this "sting operation" had zero police involvement, and that the accused's were not immediately arrested with an avalanche of damning evidence. What do the cops even do ?

The Tebogo Malaka video ‘sting’ – here’s why Daily Maverick did it

The action of the Independent Development Trust’s CEO and her spokesperson is an assault on the fourth estate, a vital pillar of a functioning democracy, and on freedom of expression.

I am confused. She reckons EFF is real competitor to DA. Is it because she was aiming to match EFF's 8% ?

She's explained this before, but PR candidates like you might not understand.

Long story short.
Glorious ANC implode. RETs run to EFF/MK, moderates in ANC run to DA and some of the smaller parties. Cue fight between DA-bloc vs RET-bloc.

He gets paid to push propaganda. Imagine throwing R60k+ at a comrade to make negative comments! Money down the drain

I doubt he gets paid lol. Just a GLM loyalist vigorously trying to cope and defend them while he still can.
 
I wonder tho, did NNP cadres rage and cope this hard when they imploded and were about to get absorbed by ANC in the 2000s?

Or is it only the GLM cadres?
