Anything of note at the press conference, Honorable Member?

Board/Working committee just announced. Carl will be the Chairperson. The other members are Mervyn Dirks, and four other nobodies. I’ll get their names just now.

 

[6spdmanual]

Carl made it clear that this is a “Movement” and not a political party. Also says that they have been “in discussions” with political parties, amongst them the EFF.

So an NPO/NGO? AfriForum but for the RET?

That's very surprising.

I assume the other is ATM.

ANC already rejected them in 2021 when EFF approached them for a nationwide coalition.

And I doubt Rama would want to work with Malema...

There is no way Rama will sit on the opposition benches come 2024. His exit of politics will be swift - either a retirement to Cape Town or a full on emigration where governments aren't quite as "slow".

So Mervyn Dirks expelled himself from the ANC?

Welcoming pupils, Chiloane said the school, as an asset, was officially being handed over to the community who should safeguard it jealously and selfishly.

bowel movement of note for sure....

Would be awesome if Carl's movement had the capacity to pull RET people out of the ANC and into the new movement, but I doubt he has much clout among the RETs who remain in the ANC.
