SA Politics Thread Part 11: The GNU Normal

I think that actually needs to be tested.

DP Steenhuisen has a nice interim ring to it.

Indeed, driving around in a Corolla Cross while your colleagues are being driven in German machines is nie pap en vleis.

I'd expect DP Steenhuisen to be driven around in at most a Fortuner. Anything more than that would be ostentatious

That would be the obvious upgrade option coming from a Corolla Cross.

Why aren't the ministers driven around in Chinese and Russian cars instead of capitalist imperialist WMC German cars?

No questions... and it would be fitting for an Agricultural Minister upgrade to DP as well.

No need for those pontsy useless German things that Paulie loves so much currently.

President Shipokosa has been setting a good example, downgrading some of his entourage to humble Chinese models, powerful enough at an affordable price.

I can assure you I am not the one who wrote the rules.

Thank f*** for that

Pity. Now everyone gets just one tap when you would have given two

What is he so scared of? National party ministers drove themselves without an escort during the ANC's armed struggle.

Wenzeni uChampolina?

Oh boy, this could weaken the ANC even further:

Wait in all the noise about crap cars I missed this one.

What exactly is the US Justice Department investigating Jamna the Ass' sidekick Jonas for?

Sometimes you've gotta make the zeros your heroes if you want a tap.

The NP okes were proper hard men....

Our current crop of leaders are a bit soft with all the luxuries they gorge on.

It's rooted in African society to show off your power - definitely the ANC do not see themselves in the more European conception of "servants of the people." In African society, you give respect to the leader/chief.

On the subject of gatvol...

General Rudzani Maphwanya, whose surname in his native Venda means “to crush”, is far from the politically appointed puppet assumed by many commentators. He is a battle-hardened warrior who commanded SA’s most significant military action since 1994 when 200 SANDF troops defended the CAR president against 7,000 rebels for three days. This reality introduces a chilling aspect to statements the General made during last week’s visit to Iran, an act threatening to torpedo SA’s diplomatic efforts to moderate US tariffs that threaten a hundred thousand jobs in the motor industry and agricultural sectors. William Saunderson-Meyer, author of the Jaundiced Eye, discusses the implications with BizNews editor Alec Hogg.
