SA Politics Thread Part 11: The GNU Normal

[ghaye]

@MalcomZ, just remember that there is a difference between claims and proven. Unfortunately in SA, whilst their may be truth to all the claims, it means nothing until proven. And even then we have the Zondo Commission to fall back on as proof that nothing happens to the connected.

I wonder if @TheChamp is going to be defending furiously once more information emerges

Maybe you are as ill informed as Ngwato but Panyaza is the Premier of the Gauteng, that's the province, it's not the same thing as a municipality.

The DA is like Cersei in Game of Thrones, enemies everywhere. And just like her, it's their own doing.

Ahh cementing his position as gaytons first failed mayor to never be elected.

He has as much a chance of being elected as Zille has in Joburg.

Yikes.

People are so finished post this Commission.

We would love to see some accountability for sure!! Let's hope the NPA is up to the task just like with the Zondo Commission...

Remind me again Oh Wise One. In which province is the Municipality of Ekakuleni?

That's being generous to Liam. He's got as much chance of being mayor as lexy has of ever seeing CI

Nah, if I see corruption with braai packs, liquor and cash exchanging hands for tenders like we saw during the Zondo Commission, them mofos guilty as hell.

I don't care if they get chased and prosecuted or not because South Africa is clearly Animal Farm.

Nothing happens to them? Yeah, the correct channels meant to hold them to account don't do fokol, but they get hit where it matters for them the most, the ballot.

Dom one it doesn't matter which province the said municipality falls under, the Premier is not the boss of municipalities in the province.

With each passing second with Mchunu still drawing taxpayer money, Cyril digs his already deep political hole even deeper.

Hope he has something to say later on the SABC about him or atleast gets questioned about his currently suspended Minister of Police.

Mkhwanazi was supposed to testify at the infamous Zondo Commission.

Could be because he was way ahead of his time, in 2011 Zondo and Zuma were still friends.

Like they were so finished after the Zondo Commission and several other commissions before that?

Turns out the judge was really in no mood for Dali's ramblings, case dismissed.

Yup , not urgent. Not sure why they keep going down that route. Will have to do it the normal way to hear a ruling on merits of case

 

[Inertia]

The DA will probably retain that ward as the ANC will be regaining some of its support back from the MK as it has been the trend in all by elections since the 2024 elections, the MK has struggled to stamp its authority by improving their form from 2024, it's either they remain stagnant or drop.

The ANC didn't regain any support, in fact it dropped further. The DA picked up all the ANC's losses and won back a bunch of support from MK.

So far you are still on 0% success rate for election predictions

 

[TheChamp]

It was never what it looked like.

No worries, we'll get them next time, what is important is that the DA won their ward and we won ours, we move.
