The media is lazy.

But to be fair, there are simply not enough journalists to do more than a cursory article before the next scandal is in the spotlight.

Forgery just gets lost in the cesspit.

They are very quick to play the racism white is evil card. I saw it with my own eyes when they covered round 2 of senekal.

You can have a terminal disease and live with it for years, no? So terminal doesn't necessarily mean death's door.

Then, isn't he healthy enough to take his punishment in finishing his con court sentence and to go to court to "have his day" to "prove his innocence" in the arms deal?

I mean we all have a terminal illness in the sense that we all die eventually.

Parole doesn't mean "not taking his punishment", he still remained under Correctional Services on his release.

No, the blame is on COPE, not the DA (or any other party). I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my life. So in addition to the DA having to vet their own candidates, they must now also vet the candidates of other parties?

Let me put it this way, they must vet people who occupy important positions in their government/Administration. Doesn't sound so ridiculous now does it?

Oof. This guy just painted an YUUUUGE target on his back....

No it still does... This was a Cope fsck up, not the DAs

Yet there are some who still insist it was a DA futtup.

So if your coalition partner doesn't vet its candidates you are comfortable to give them positions without scrutinizing them, ok.

And the President of the DA, John Steenhuisen, has issued a statement.

Does the President of the ANC not comment on ANC related shenanigans?

The President has a country to run and cannot be commenting on everything, unlike John who has a lot of time on his hands, and Makwarela is a member of COPE, not the ANC.

When will people stop comparing Johnny boy to His Excellency?

 

[TheChamp]

There is certainly a flaw with how things are and it must be corrected, the council and city management, not the DA or any party that leads the municipality must have a responsibility to vet all the councillors, it cannot be that they are just sitting there depending on the parties, looks like a massive dereliction of duty to me.

No idea, John has done this now the President must do it, utter foolishness.
