What? Now you are just creating obvious BS. As if you have any idea what goes on in internal DA structures. Even though she still has to be selected formally, it's pretty obvious she will get the nod from the DA's head honchos. All your posts about Zille suggest you are **** scared of her as she is a titan of the SA political scene and finally the DA will select someone with enough heft unlike in previous times when they selected political nobodies like Phalatse (2021) and Mmusi (2011). Mashaba wasn't really widely known either in 2016 but I accept he had more heft/better back story than Phalatse and Mmusi but he still pales in comparison to Zille.

They really don't like her.

Wow, a few members gave anonymous quotes to Surve's outfit, a known anti-DA media house?

She's going to win selection. Deal with it.

How many members of the ANC said they want Zille to be the Joburg mayor?

I didn't make that comment but I guess @Mike Hoxbig is referring to that ANC-aligned columnist who wrote a column a few weeks ago saying he'd vote for Zille. Ebrahim somebody or other.

Something champy and co could learn from because at the moment they are repeating it. 140+ race laws attest to that

"America’s power lies in finance. Its sanctions are devastating:"

The clowns have found something new to comfort themselves as South Africa moves towards destroying apartheid's legacy, apartheid that the USA supported while the Soviet Union armed the ANC to fight for black people's liberation.

The legacy will be completely annihilated & all you, Trump, the USA other lunatics can and will do is rant.

This is Africa & South Africa is the prize, the USA and other deranged morons who believe in white supremacy and love the inequality in South Africa can go jump!

We know. They are tweaking after South Africa put it's foot down to the nonsensical demands by Trump, Elon and the USA.

IFP is the DA's Samuel L Jackson character Stephen from the movie Django Unchained and the DA is Leonardo Di Caprio's character Calvin Candie.

This is why they'll forever be a regional party. You'd swear they are not even in the national GNU the way they are so silent. They only speak when the DA is uncomfortable with something. Puppets.

@Agent69 - can you provide article? If it's not DA internal polling, this is further evidence of the ANC collapsing even further than in 2024.

Oooh boy! It's going down in South Africa. The knives are out and there is no longer doubt who the enemy is.

Black South Africans are tolerant in the face of all this. It will be interesting to see how long though because it's getting out of hand and these are the things that fuel revolutions.

Afrikaners already “apologised for Apartheid” (and then some) but no more - Daily Friend

The refrain is well-known by now: three decades into our democracy, Afrikaners have still not apologised for Apartheid. How is reconciliation possible under such circumstances?

Read the article; it’s based on DA internal polling. But cites that it’s been pretty accurate in the past.
