Yayyy, finally the DA bitter exes and journos have a party to call their own...

Also:

I get it, he'll actually have to contest elections and work with others instead of giving orders.

It actually make sense, ActionSA is bigger than all those parties combined, so there is actually no benefit for them unless dissolve into ActionSA.

It will be interesting to see the outcomes at the next LGE, I have a feeling that Herman might wish he was as big as these parties he's just dismissed as too small to be involved with.
 
The uselessness of Cyril's non-attempts to fight corruption is obvious through rehabilitating Gupta clowns like Gigaba.

How Malusi Gigaba has been able to reinvent himself

The net result of all of this is that someone like Gigaba can now believe that he has a realistic prospect of going back into national government in some capacity.

One of the most interesting and disturbing dynamics of the past few years has been how the liar Malusi Gigaba has been able to reinvent himself. He symbolises the complete failure of our criminal justice system, the ANC and President Cyril Ramaphosa.

In December 2017, the Pretoria High Court found that he had lied under oath.

The Zondo Commission eventually found that he was one of the people central to the ruin of Denel.

In 2021, when he was nothing more than a senior member of the ANC and an MP, Gigaba was able to get two Hawks officers to arrest his ex-wife, Norma Mngoma, and keep her in prison for two nights.

I have a feeling they will still be bigger than Bosa, Rise and Good combined and there is a good chance they might overtake the Freedom Front.

Perhaps people seem to forget is a 5yo party, I think they are doing well and have achieved a lot in that short space of time, local elections are good for small parties so I don't think they will regress from where they are.

Come and move to PTA. You would yearn for Cape Town. Non existing service delivery.. roads look like a warzone being bombed, zero street lights, dumping grounds at random places etc...

That is the same conclusion I've come to. With EWC, the rise in rates and service tariffs (I pay electricity and water availability charges for property that is unimproved and needs no water nor electricity), as well as the declining SA currency and nobody capable of buying the property for its replacement value, it's time to sell up and get out of the property market, which is no longer an investment. I can get more interest investing money at a bank.

The frightening thing in SA is that the replacement value for structures is 5 to 8 times their market value. It's the reason insurance costs for buildings have skyrocketed.

ASA got a lot of the middleclass vote which they would lose with their latest hijinks

Then ASA will have to hold there current vote share and those other 3 parties can't grow at all since they were are 82% of ASA vote shares as of the 2024 elections.

Are you prepared to tell the price it sold for?

I have an offer of a bit over R1m for a property with a building replacement value of R10m. Maybe SARS needs to consider paying taxpayers a Capital Loss Tax refund on property. That would show the reality of the collapse of South Africa's economy.
