The SA Politics Thread Part 2

[ShaunSA]

Big brown envelopes help.

Can you imagine is Mkhize actually wins?

The WMC puppet has bigger envelopes

Think he hid all that money for the ANC in his furniture to use at a time like this

 

[PrimeSteak]

Can you imagine is Mkhize actually wins?

Would be funny.

Both on a comedic and an "oh ****, this'll be a shitshow" level.

And it'll accelerate ANC's destruction going by what we've seen in polling done in the past few months.

 

[TheChamp]

Funny thing is that if Mkhize wins you will hear nothing about vote buying, looks like it only becomes a problem when the RET loses.

 

[PrimeSteak]

I thought about the "Animal Farm" move the other day.

I wonder if the gov would make special exemptions for the DA's Congress and EFF's thing (which I assume is also next year) like for the King of ANC tournament?

At least The New Dawn will finally be put to rest

Nah, if Mkhize wins, it'll still be there.

You have a point there.

Probably not. Remember that the "official" reason for the exemption is security around the President, Deputy and ministers.

The highest ranking DA members are only a Premier and Leader of the Opposition in Parliament.

The EFF has an even lower security profile.

Vote buying is happening for CR and Mkhize. Make no mistake about that.

Zapiro and the Sandton kugels will also have a new hero the moment Mkhize goes jogging on the promenade

Yeah, the "official" reason is bull. LOL

But it isn't abnormal behaviour for the ANC anyway.

It has never ever been a problem before, it only becomes a problem when they lose.

It was never a problem when Zuma beat Mbeki in Polokwane, it was not a problem when Zuma defeated Motlanthe in Mangaung, it suddenly became a problem when Ramaphosa defeated them in 2017.

You just don't like it but it's valid enough.

If Mbeki and Motlanthe didn't say anything that's their problem

Doesn't mean the other side has to play by their rules

But relax baba. Your WMC puppet has this in the bag... or should I say the brown envelope

 

[PrimeSteak]

You just don't like it but it's valid enough.

Oh, yeah. How silly of me.

The entire country gets Stage 6 load shedding while the party in government throws a big siesta that's exempted from that same load shedding.

How unreasonable of me to think that it is unjust to do so...

But then again that "official" reasoning is a very reasonable explanation

Stop being a drama queen, I never said anything about you being unreasonable.

 

[ShaunSA]

You would know all about being a drama queen

 

[PrimeSteak]

And so the "drama queen" card is whipped out.

Was being sarcastic, but it seems I have demolished your studio...
