How dare you try force down the revolution! You just want to see them treated like dogs.

Well if they get treated liek dogs then maybe they will fix those departments that are broken and by extension their voters wont be treated like dogs

ANC isn't perfect but this obvious media campaign against not only the ANC's and SA's Deputy President Paul Mashatile, but the ANC as well since they put their foot down regarding the USA, Israel, BEE and Starlink is so pathetic. The private media like their owners in Stellenbosch want the ANC dead dead and they can't hide it as they try destroying the ANC via their extensive media houses.

Most private media houses are mostly pro anc
EWn is owned by Primedia with a level 2 bee rating
They are backed by : Mineworkers' Investment Company (MIC), Ethos, the FirstRand Group and the Old Mutual Group (Old Mutual Private Equity and Old Mutual Specialised Finance)
All high in BEE numbers

CEO : Bongumusa Makhathini , another black face

Kinda breaks your narative

Go tell that to your children or something.

The private media narrates the private sector's wishes, explicitly or implicitly. News24 shouted from the top of the hills all over saying the GNU with the DA in it was going to be the best thing ever to happen to South Africa. It's a over a year later and things have gotten worse.

Private media would never go against it's rightful owners and they are not BEE people or the ANC, the real owners are sitting in Stellenbosch.

Simple!

But no, those who are clearly unhappy here as the ANC moves to address apartheid's legacy would rather yap on instead of hopping on a plane.

For someone who managed to get enrolled at a University, you routinely astound us with the naivety and daftness of your positions.

You are getting what you want. The side effect you dont want is the decrease in the paye collected
These numbers are probably excluding those with dual nationality as they dont have to formally emmigrate

Be carefull what you wish for . You lose 100000 taypayers a year and gain 1 million "gimme gimme gimme's"

This is detailed in the Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection’s latest report on coalition governments.

A report by the Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection suggested the party was also likely to lose its electoral majority in the Free State and Mpumalanga come 2029.
Leader researcher, Susan Booysen, pointed out that while the North West was historically an ANC stronghold, trends showed that the province was also on the edge.
"Only Limpopo and the Eastern Cape seem to be secure enough at this stage, come the next election. If the current trends over South Africa’s elections since 1994 continue, further provinces could possibly become coalitions in the next elections."

LOL

Look, I get it, you can't cope with the destruction of the ANC. But let me bring you up to speed.

The ANC lost its majority in the Northern Cape, Gauteng and KZN last year.
In Free State, they barely held on with 51%. In North West, 57%. In Mpumalanga, also 51%.

The only two provinces where they still have resounding majorities are Limpopo (73????) and Cutting Edge (Eastern Cape, with 62%).

The ANC hasn't arrested their collapse since then. Do the math yourself, instead of raging about media houses.

 

[MalcomZ]

Oh boy, is it time to practising saying President Zille?

Yip, the media is already hyping her up for Johannesburg which she'll never get in her wildest dreams.

I think I'm starting to see the picture here. Plan post 2024 elections was to get Johannesburg and/or Tshwane in Gauteng then use state resources to push more propaganda that Zille is a great Mayor so wouldn't she be a great president? The DA wanted to use governing Gauteng to soft launch their 2029 electoral ambitions. This is why Lesufi was enemy number one when he rejected them and their nonsense in GP.

 

[Agent67]

In fact the opposite is true
The average home for whites is a 2 or 3 bedroom home. They mostly have mortgages and loans to pay off what they have. They budget what they have to afford their given lifestyle.
I rarely see a "Well off" white person. I sure as hell see a lot of blacks who seem to be more than well off given by how they portray themselves. Have a look at the top expensive schools. How many kids in them are black ? Most of them

Here is a picture from one of them. Their is over the R10kpm

Can't agree with you here. Comes off as a tad racist.

Then we see our major BEE mouthpiece Malcom. Whose father seems to be more than well off. A person who through his court documents portrays himself as a bitter, delusional, self entitled little brat. Someone who seems to be a beneficiary through generational wealth.

Here we can agree.

Oh lol, WMCCCCCCCCCCC

The media does have a pro-ANC bias. eNCA is owned by the unions. SABC was captured long ago. Many former cadres are senior journos. Could go on.

I like how your response every time to opposition to the ANC or EFF from minorities is "GO BACK TO EUROPE. GO TO AMERICA".

Funny, hey?

Just your rank and file Black nationalist cum aspiring activist. With a dash of delusion of grandeur.

But hey, he has Orania friends, so telling other Orania people to "hop on a plane" is cool...

 

[ghaye]

My father worked for everything he has. I know it's hard for certain demographics in South Africa to accept that certain demographics are capable of that due to the entrenched racism left over from apartheid.

No, actually everything he owns was as a result of BEE. Just like every white person benefited from apartheid. Same argument with a different colour shirt.

I see you have zero comprehension for the scale of destruction the ANC (driven by your heroes when they were still part of the ANC) has wreaked on this country. To be fixed in a year!? What a clueless little troll.

By the same token then, if apartheid was so terrible, why didn't those that felt so oppressed just go live elsewhere in Africa?

Yip, the media is already hyping her up for Johannesburg which she'll never get in her wildest dreams.

Are you also going to disappear off the forum if Gogo comes to power via a coalition or majority?

This is not high-IQ analysis, dude. The DA has been after GP (logical, since it is the most populous province) since forever...

Naturally, if they can get things right, they'll use it as a springboard for 2029... It's the only reason they're still in the GNU too.

This is why Lesufi was enemy number one when he rejected them and their nonsense in GP.

Imagine being this arrogant but only having 34% of the vote in GP.
