The President of the Republic will be addressing the nation this evening on matters of National importance.

What time?

 

[Jam Sandwich]

Probably 9pm African Time...

anytime between 7pm-11pm?

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

You're insane.

Yes, that's also what they said in Rhodesia. Now our president praises Zimbabwe for it's reform.

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Good, will he be mentioning Phala Phala? Or boring the nation to tears with a long speech?

Now some ous are sweating. Is this going to be a ...

• My fellow South Africans, or
• My people

They are not the same, the one is the begging bowl, the other the whip.

Maybe he is resigning.

Maybe he is resigning.

In case he does, President Shipokosa has demonstrated that he is fit for office.

The same party you have been cheer leading for since the inception of this these SA politics threads?

Shame!

Not really, in fairness to him, he has better moments where he's realistic and even anti-ANC, but mostly just has funny views.

... that makes me wonder how old he was when he fell on his head. Sorry @R13...

The coup plotters were the first to blink after the stare down, his muthi is just too strong.

Yeah. I had one running across my foot. I levitated. When I realized what it was, I used my size 12s to stomp the little bugger.

Actually a myth, bad eyesight and surprise - but then I know you know that

No-one really cares - that's the reality. People hardly watched the "family meetings" during covid where the meetings did actually apply to almost all the population. Why would people tune in now to a meeting with little relevance to everyday lives?

I think people watched the first few.. Then it just turned into a farce so it became a running joke.

Are we taking any bets on him being on time?

IIRC, News 24 developed a top-level contact and they published stuff that turned out to be true (for once) before the president's announcements, negating the point of the family meeting.

But we all know that Bruce Fordyce can never be president despite his Comrades wins, right ?

I say 8.30pm

There is a reasonable explanation.

Amazing how he can be aware of a coup plot, yet not even know JHB is a mess, despite driving through there nearly ever day for years.

Maybe he receives regular intel briefings.
