Here's a podcast with Ernst Roets & Cilliers Brink discussing the current political turmoil in Tswane...

South Africa's Urban Crisis | Cilliers Brink | TPP #63​

What political turmoil in Tshwane? Brink has really lost his marbles.

 

[Kung Fu Porkchop]

There is never going to be a time when more people vote for the DA, just in case you haven't noticed, voters have been going out of their way to avoid voting for the DA, opting instead to vote for the smaller parties.

Never is a long time

Reading between the lines at what is happening with teh so called kingmaker parties I think Pretoria is on the way for instability again

Actually, looking at 2024 results, it seems that people are going out of their way to avoid voting ANC. What gives?

Never is probably about 12 months at this point... first time in history that Never has a definite timeline

100%

Coalitions almost never work out

Coalitions almost never work out

They can if parties align broadly on similar values - for example, a DA/FF/ACDP coalition would likely not have many issues. The problem is when you have mutually incompatible parties in coalition with each other. For example, the EFF and PA have very different voting constituencies...

The ANC is the biggest party in the country after losing 17%, the DA is still at 20% despite the ANC losing 17%, that 17% was shared amongst a the parties except the DA.

Take a minute to internalize that and you will see the DA is going nowhere slowly

The challenge is that most of the smaller parties are all splintered off the ANC with broadly the same communist mindset
Sow orking with them imo is a failing proposition.

Blah blah blah
Welcome to losing another 17%
Once the flies at the feed trough realise that there are no more spaces at that trough the disintegration will be insane
At the moment the feeding is the only thing the ANC has going for it

And yet the ANC is losing voters faster than ever. I can't wait to see what happens in the coming elections

While this is true, if you go into a coalition with another party, that party should be thinking about themselves and their pockets, like the ANC and most of the parties that has splintered from it. It's an ANC mantra

ANC first
Bank account second
Cadres third
The rest can f*** right off until the next elections
South Africa

At the rate they're going I think a result of losing another 17% only would probably be a properly good outcome for them.

True, it is entirely possible that dictator Cyril will declare himself as Kim Jong Un of SA. It is a pity that it will happen before Zulu uprising.

I see Champs is still stuck on the 20% mantra.

Havent seen anything yet about your support of an illegal grouping that has committed premeditated murder

Charlie Kirk murder was not related to ANC. Obama was involved and I grant that he is black but there is no connection to ANC.

It's the elephant in the room, we can't avoid it.
