I know so little about the IFP; I hope they deliver the services to the people and offer a decent government.
You can summarise the IFP as FF+: Zulu edition.

And same, we haven't heard much from their coalitions in Northern KZN except two of them I think. So I think no news is good news tbh.

So the bus company just went and cut the branches themselves, without CoJ's permission...
Seems so. My guess is that they asked the city to prune but have been waiting forever so, they took matters in hand by themselves.

How exactly?
Why are they pursuing this one tenuous link with CR instead of the 850m stolen out of Tembisa as a whole. The companies there are also reported not registered to supply medical equipment. Actually not much got delivered for that looting spree. And then there are all those car washes, etc who got PPE tenders. The DA should be asking how all those investigations are going given how little has come of that looting frenzy.

How exactly?
Cyril
The ex Wife
The ex Wife's family
The Nephew by marriage.

So in some convoluted way whatever happens in the nephew by marriage's life is somehow linked to Cyril? If the nephew by marriage gets a job Cyril had organised the job for him, if the nephew by marriage gets a tender it it has something to do with Cyril?

You do realise if we scrutinised everyone we are bound to find some nephew by marriage who is doing something that might or might not be dodgy?

I know you are bright enough to know why this is a desperate attempt but I will wait until it happens with a DA person then I will remind you, I know you are very objective when something relates to the DA, I am a very patient person, sure that moment is going to come soon.

This was a heartbreaking listen (link to audio in article). This problem is another of the ANC's creation - they could stop this almost instantly if they committed to fighting corruption as a party. Tenderpreuners have become so used to getting tenders that they'll intimidate and kill anyone who threatens their tender pipelines. She was obviously kidnapped as a warning.

But none of those would give them the political mileage they need, unless it happens that someone's niece by marriage or former marriage is involved, and is hopefully not linked to the DA.

Thank you for actually answering my question. :)

Yeah, so hilarious.

But I must warn you, don't say too much...
The spirit of the forum will come to get you, the honorary master, via Steinhoff 5G for speaking out against evil, arrogant, racist DA...

No news when the news are there is not good news. Perhaps you might just have missed them, the only difference between the IFP and the ANC is that the ANC has way more areas it governs, otherwise the things that are happening in IFP run municipalities are exactly the same as those in ANC municipalities, if no municipality was mentioned you wouldn't tell the difference.

Just a few examples,







Of course not saying all of the allegations are true but it just shows the no news is good news does not apply as far as the IFP is concerned, they still have amongst them the same bloodthirsty warlords they had during apartheid.

The tenderpreneurs are operating like a gov-funded mafia at this point.

And I agree with you.

I only knew about the first two links and the last one.

Was using the idiom btw.

Funnily enough, you could say the same about the ANC... (and no I'm not excusing the IFP's actions during the 80s and early 90s)
