The SA Politics Thread Part 2

[Priapus]

The bribing takes time, they must first check for funds in the furniture.

If Twitter is to be believed; seems most agree Mkhize has won.

Both Ramaposer and Mkhize are useless, so it doesn’t even matter.

Oh it most certainly matters.

I think CR has it in the bag. But if CR doesn’t. ANC is a dead party waking.

Either way, they are a dead party. If CR wins, they linger on a bit longer.

True. Like I said; maybe Mkhize should win, that way by 2024 nothing is left of the ANC and the country can move on.

Nah, Twitter is a very poor barometer here. Lots of RET bots.

That and the votes were not casted on Twitter.

True, Twitter has an abnormally high amount of EFF aligned users just as Mybb has an abormally high amount of VF+ aligned users.

Talking of Twitter, Mkhize’s profile photo - “incoming president “

I wonder how well that will age.

Claiming an early victory helps when you want to come up with conspiracies when the results comes out and you have lost.

According to this report, Ramaphosa lost the NW. The problem for the Mkhize crowd is the Ramaphosa crowd have a lock on EC (2nd biggest no. of votes) and Limpopo (3rd biggest no. of votes) which, when combined, easily surpasses the no. of KZN votes.

Ramaphosa loses North West to rival Zweli Mkhize

Ramaphosa and his allies cruised through the ballot for presidential nominations with an almost 55% lead over Mkhize, but on the eve of the nominations, North West switched its allegiance

Feel for Lamola to be honest. Politics isn’t guaranteed.

I think the proper way is to say he has lot the support of the leadership, because he has apparently "lost" Limpopo as well since Mathabatha has jumped over to the dark side.

I think the weak willed delegates might find themselves conflicted but I doubt the leaders changing sides automatically means all the delegates will move with them.

I think he could be a little matured about it, especially since we have seen with Dabede that being a Deputy President does not guarantee you anything.

Truth is the EC has much more sway with its delegates and they are all going to throw their weight behind Mabuyane, MP might vote for him but on the balance of probabilities, it looks like Mabuyane is going to get more votes than him.

I think he is still young, he should regroup, mobilise properly and wait his turn, anything can happen in politics.

Who won?

 

[Priapus]

Who won?

Bribes are still being paid; so no one knows, yet.

 

[TheChamp]

Who won?

Are you having doubts?

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

 

[ShaunSA]

Are you having doubts?

Nope. But it's always good to see official results

Makes it easier to point and laugh at the losers too

 

[PrimeSteak]

He's fumbling. Doesn't have anything in any bag, he's busy alienating various allies. Mkhize might well be our president next year. He needs it to get off the legal hook and build another Zuma like family dynasty. Not sure who his "Indians" would be.

Can agree. But at least it's only one year of Mkhize and not five...

 

[aleksandar]

Regardless who wins SA is loser.

 

[PrimeSteak]

I think CR has it in the bag. But if CR doesn’t. ANC is a dead party waking.

It's already on life-support and the prognosis is terminal.

Will be dead by 2024.

Precisely.

The thing is, the incoming President will determine the speed of ANC's obliteration.

If Mkhize wins, ANC's electoral chances will dissolve almost instantly. If CR wins, the death will be a bit slower but still unavoidable.

Essentially whoever wins, will be the captain of a sinking ship.
