So her campaign is moving from one drama to the next every week?

Sisulu recalled that when she executed the resolution, in her portfolio as Minister of International Relations, the Jewish community became livid and made their views well known.

Shame, sorry to hear that...

Oh, and from the same article :

Sisulu admits the power utility’s [eskom] infrastructure is failing but is unaware of whose [sic] to blame.

Really? Open your eyes and see the damage your party's political beliefs have done to the country...

Minister of Tourism and African National Congress (ANC) National Executive Committee member, Lindiwe Sisulu, reveals how she was left dangling alone when she carried out the 2017 ANC Conference resolution to downgrade the Israeli Embassy to a liaison office.

Meanwhile, Sisulu is of the view that Eskom is a “real problem” as the country is under the kind of load shedding that it has never experienced before.

The ANC. They were warned in 1998, they ignored said warning, load shedding came and they were asvaal..

So her campaign is moving from one drama to the next every week?

She's just embarrassing herself with this **** tbh.

R8.3m doesn't sound like it's going to take them very far.

Depends if you use BEE companies for doing the work. BEE typically means you pay double or triple the price and get nothing done.

Even if you don't use BEE, it just sounds too little for the number of gravel roads mentioned, unless they are very short gravel roads.

Actual real polls (read: by-elections) suggest limited growth or an actual decline. Not many by-elections they have contested since LGE 2021, but of the ones they have, results are underwhelming....and lol @ the DA being in decline "especially in the Western Cape".

Sisulu, reveals how she was left dangling alone

Lindiwe should come up with her own song like this. As a part of presidential campaign.

For context, Mogale City is also a UF minority gov reliant on EFF.

Naturally, they'll go the hardest after WC.

But oddly enough in the same article, he says most DA WC voters would vote for DA WC but not necessarily DA National. So much for the massive decline and destruction of DA WC in 2024...

I wonder what she'll announce or if she'll just riff or something?

Well that was a pointless address.

Agreed.
