Oh that, of course I am used to it, but you'll agree there is something not quite right about calling your opponent weak if he leaves you sprawled on the floor every time you meet, at some point it starts to not make much sense.

 

[TheChamp]

You are mean.

Exceptionally so, I think he is weak, weak people make up for their weakness with mean words.

Come now be honest you know I'm right on the money.

Kinda makes sense.

/Ask Eskom to pull an Animal Farm for you regarding load shedding for the rest of the conference

Wouldn't be out of lockstep with how ANC operates...

Just regurgitating the "ANC GOOD, COALITION BAD" line.

Godongwana said while the party may have scored own goals through state capture, it's still a good organisation.

 

[PrimeSteak]

She was acquitted.

Hmmm, ok.

Seems like she's (didn't know it was a she) spreading fake news all the same.

The ANC is facing an existential crisis - Mabuza
Earlier on Saturday, ANC deputy president David Mabuza presented the organisational report to a plenary meeting.
Some of the key points from this report are:
- "At the heart of what we must characterise the existential crisis faced by our movement, is the fact that the cumulative effect of many years of sins incumbency and organisatiotional challenges eroded the image, resilience and revulotionary capacity of the ANC…"
- "Despite the best intentions by all of us, the state of the organisation is still a far cry from the ideal as it is bedeviled by disunity, the quality of membership and cadres not being up to the task, doubts about capacity to deal with corruption and restore the movement's integrity and declining electoral support that points to a deep trust deficit from our people.
- "Mabuza conceded that both independent and ANC research indicates that the ANC faces serious challenges in the period.
- "There is a big trust deficit in the organisation and our leadership and whilst our people acknowledge the progress made since the advent of democracy, they remain dissatisfied with the lack of progress…"
- "Despite our best intentions, our branches are far from what they should be, disunity and factionalism remain rampant, the quality of our membership and cadreship require decisive attention, and our integrity is in serious doubt."
-Qaanitah Hunter, Jan Gerber
