But the wisdom of Cyril to appoint the right person to the right portfolio, the DA wanted John to be Deputy President, but President Ramaphosa realised that he was more suited to the Agriculture portfolio, look at how he is shining today.

If Cyril is so wise then why did he appoint any of the ANC ministers to Cabinet positions?

It was the afternoon braais and all the dolls coming and going.

Not a good look for the Waterfall area, they're trying to be the mink and manure belt for the middle class.

Well I'm reading the book about the Dark Prince (Paul Mashatile) by Pieter Du Toit and I'm at the point where he was demoted to deputy minister of sports,art, culture by Zuma. It's not an important portfolio at all. Now Gayton is the minister rather than deputy but it's evident that the ANC puts people who are not part of the dominant faction in that department

I have to be a bit (very) slow about ANC SA politics but I see from Bloomberg that this Mchunu fellow being Cyril's big chm in KZN and a possible el presidente candidate. Makes Mkhwanazi's accusations all the more interesting. In case paywalled and even Melania's weighing in.

SA policing scandal upends political succession race

Ineffective policing is a major issue in South Africa.

"Local media outlets had suggested Mchunu could succeed his close ally Ramaphosa as leader of the African National Congress in 2027 and potentially as president in 2029." and "Those in line to take charge of the party once Ramaphosa leaves include Deputy President Paul Mashatile, and ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula, who have been embroiled in scandals of their own. They both deny wrongdoing and haven’t been prosecuted.

“Neither of those two candidates could restore the fortunes of the liberation party and could contribute to its further electoral decline,” Silke said. “The ANC is in a real bind from a leadership perspective.”" as well as "“Keeping Mchunu is critical for the ANC, as their biggest single voting block is in his home province of KwaZulu-Natal,” said Melanie Verwoerd, an independent political analyst and former lawmaker."

2. You have a misplaced idea of your duty. You ONLY duty is to protect your ANC buddies....

Imagine how pathetic you must be to think it's your duty to defend people literally stealing your, and your children's futures. It is disgusting, and I would even argue it's on the same pathetic level as what the criminals themselves are.
 
Clear as daylight that Rafadi is not the only expert who is bought and paid for. Apparently Mkhwanazi is busy encouraging his supporters, while the General does not even have a social media account.

This may come as a shock to you but you dont have to have a social media account to have supporters who use social media.
