The SA Politics Thread Part 2

[ToxicBunny]

You would think that being a Councillor in a Party that is in charge of council that runs the city would help.

I suspect JRA are all ANC agents and are just dragging their feet because they lost.

In all honesty, after the floods in Durban we all got a very quick education in just how impotent councilors are. They may have slightly better access to departments than the residents, but it doesn't translate into anything concrete, they have to use roughly the same reporting processes we do and then it just gets lost in the chaos.

Obviously DA councillors in an ANC run council will be useless.

That would explain how schit got into CPT's beach water...

Without a doubt, but even the ANC councilor was unable to get anything done, on top of being totally useless and only giving a vague passing shyte about the section of the Ward that voted for him.

That is not saying much though.

Durban seems to be back to normal as far as visitors are concerned though? December was busy as usual - so I heard.

Not even close, Durban is a literal shyteshow.

Anyone trying to claim otherwise is deluded.

It was a ghost town.

Oh - maybe areas where visitors likely to visit are a bit better ?

That is the beach. The beaches are closed. Maybe a river boat, oh wait...

Wow, lot of passionate DA people here. Interesting. Going by this thread alone, DA should win 2024 by majority.

While that is true, My Broadband is not a good sample of SA voters.

Brief reading of some threads tells me that there are hardly any ANC/EFF supporters here so I don't get the angry discourse of political threads. Seems echo chamber to me so far.

You mean the beaches? Nope, those were a literal shyte show, there was toilet paper and stuff washing up on the beaches. The rivers were even worse.

It's like the ANC marching against itself like with the etolls.

Or the illegals... Just hilarious tbh.

Instead of actually doing something since you have the power to since you're in gov. But nah, let's protest ourselves, surely that'll work...

Not many ANC or EFF votes around here but there are a fair few FF and Action SA voters.
