Seeing that she's super popular amongst the Twitterati, I'm just waiting patiently until she says or does something that doesn't please the Twitterati...

Then they'll hit her with the 1984 (the book) attitude of "Ramathuba? We've always hated Ramathuba"...

I thought what she was doing wasn't pleasing the Twitterati?

Anyway, South Africans are too clever for their own good, especially the larneys type who are criticising from their comfort zone, she is doing a job and well done to her for not being a coward and buckling down under pressure, we need strong people like her if we are to succeed as a country.

FTFY

Can agree here. Another situation where this comes up is with the DA's protest action tomorrow.

She's a bull in a china shop. But I get the feeling it's a show for her

LMAO.
He said that should Phalatse be ousted, the party would support an ANC candidate for the mayoral position.
"We are not garden boys of the DA, and DA is not our 'baas'. That time is over, in case they are not aware," Kunene said.

"Garden boys", "baas"... Should fit in just fine in an ANC coalition... Oh wait, they already do that...

Paywalled.

So in some ways I'm not necessarily in favour of incumbents being kicked out if the DA wins the case, but the actual policy and process needs to be kicked to the curb and the ANC needs to get the fsck out of the way of public service appointments.

What could be a vaguely amusing approach would be to implement a political party quota, so if the ANC has 52% of the vote, they should only be able to have ANC members occupying 52% of positions in the public service :P

I don't know who in the DA thinks like that, it's impossible to apply the finding retrospectively, no one is going to lose their job.

Well it would be more a case of if their appointment is deemed unconstitutional, then there is a chance they would have to vacate the position so it can be legally filled.

If an appointment is made today and you go to court to challenge its constitutionality then it's possible that such an appointment can be reversed, in this case that won't be applicable because it would be impossible to retrospectively apply the ruling without prejudicing the beneficiaries.

So the DA is just full of the usual nonsense, no one is going to lose their job, if the ruling finds against the practice of cadre deployment it will be applicable from now going forward.
