We have a number of russian lovers in the Ukraine thread. Based on ANC supporting russia, can we deduce that the russian lovers are also anc lovers ? If that is the case we would have a long list of anc lovers

What I have noted is that there has been nothing coming forward from the likes of DA, EFF and the others talking to the merits of that report, they have made a lot of noise but no one was bothered enough to actually go through the report and tell us what they think about it, all they wanted was to adopt it, even the learned Dali has opted to be choose his words very carefully on the report.

The media has had opinion pieces from various legal experts, but I have not seen any legal expert supporting the report, even IOL does not seem to have anyone wanting to commit on it, unless I have missed something.

Just an observation from me, maybe the media is suppressing them and promoting those who are pro Ramaphosa.

Maybe the other political parties are just as convinced as the rest of us that report is just a collection of hearsay rubbish.

And of course, they all made mileage out of it. Why not? What did they have to lose? Nothing. Most sane people knew the motion would not be carried and hence all they could do was make the ANC look bad and hope the message penetrated the thick skulls of the dumb electorate that supported the ANC.

ANC ELECTS 2022: How did Tony Yengeni’s criminal record get expunged? Legal experts dispute validity

ANC NEC member Tony Yengeni successfully appealed against his disqualification from election at the ANC’s leadership conference on the basis that his old criminal record had been expunged. But advocacy group Freedom Under Law says that this is legally impossible.
www.dailymaverick.co.za www.dailymaverick.co.za

Daily Maverick spoke to advocate Jeremy Gauntlett SC, representing FUL, about the evidence suggesting that Yengeni’s record was indeed expunged.

Gauntlett said the matter was quite simple: “Were it to be shown that [Yengeni’s record] has been expunged, then it’s in conflict with the law.”

The advocate was adamant that there is no legal universe in which Yengeni could have lawfully been granted the expungement of his criminal record on the known facts.

So much for ANC turning a new leaf. Zuma appears to be well received while Ramaposer was on the receiving end of heckles and jeers.

The grand idea from KZN in trying to disrupt Cyril's speech was to elicit a response from Cyril's supporters, then chaos was going to ensue with counter jeers and counter singing against each other, followed by violence and the conference would collapse, the temptation was nicely resisted and the Zuptoids ran out of ideas.

It was all orchestrated with the late grand entrance by Zuma. Question is why would they want to disrupt a conference they are so confident they are winning?
