He campaigned for the ANC in 2024 when they were desperate, now they want him silent.

It's going down in the ANC. The latest Iran-General scandal is definitely dividing the ANC even further.

The rest of 2025 is going to be very intriguing.

Shush they did this all with the R350 grant

Then the grant is too generous and should be reduced. Grants are meant to enable people to live, not to enrich people or as collateral for business startups. That is what banks are for.

This grant should've ended 4 years ago already, it was a temporary one for COVID relief. So 100% agree.

Of course he was.

You know Rupert better than all.

The full interview is 2 hours and is not boring. Go give it a watch since clearly Rupert can do no wrong according the MyBB Brackenfell Gang.

 

[MalcomZ]

It's as chaotic as expected.

Sounded like a std 6 kid that forgot to prepare for their speech and winging it.. and doing a better job than her.

This could be the next MYBB bad news headline trend...

CLOUDS ARE GATHER-IIIING! CLOUDS ARE GATHER-IIIING! CLOUDS ARE GATHER-IIIING!

Not even the dishes are safe from this one.

I can't even watch 5 minutes of pron without falling asleep. I can't watch a SONA and wait for the summary the next day. Now you want me to watch Rupert blathering on for 3 hours? Give me a precise. I can speed read but I can't speed watch a video.

Judging by the comments, the DA isn't winning in Tshwane come 2026.

An L in Johannesburg and an L in Tshwane awaits them.

Put up Tony Leon for Tshwane and Zille for COJ - that should do the trick.

If they await an L, then ANC and ASA are expecting LLLs...

Lol, they pleaded with him to campaign and save them from electoral damnation (which happened anyway), now they condemn him.

That would mean you know both @TheChamp and @MalcomZ personally, as well as knowing that they comment here under a pseudonym, for your statement to be true.

Nope. That's ridiculous. I just have to know they often post at the same time.

One can post on the same forum on different aliases using the same device without logging in and out each time. I don't understand why you'd interpret @TheChamp absence as suggestive of multiple accounts.
