The SA Politics Thread Part 3

[Sideshow Bob]

Isn't this supposed to be secret vote? And this was an attempt to identify traitors and subvert the idea of secret vote?

I could be wrong ofc. Will read a bit more.

Ok... So that's what happened.

That seems moronic.

Seems like the rest of the coalition is backing the DA on this.

What does ActionSA say? Because my feeling is that this was a deliberate sabotage.

I am all for finding traitors but I still insist it should be done in a dignified manner, this is getting too desperate for my liking.

And? They are friends of the Great Liberation Movement now, Zille must find a way to deal with it.

I wouldn't call someone voting with their conscience a traitor though

You see. You are also beginning to believe that politicians have conscience. You are becoming wokist libtard like us.

Baloyi insists Mashaba endorsed ANC coalition talks: 'He gave us support'

Despite Mashaba decrying a coalition with the ANC and threatening to resign if it happened, the former ActionSA Gauteng chairperson said this was not what drove a wedge between him and the party’s leader.

So it was true, that ASA planned to coalesce with ANC in GP while Mashaba was away...

Baloyi said that ANC Gauteng chair Panyaza Lesufi first floated the idea of potential coalitions with ActionSA with him and the party’s national chair, Michael Beaumont, at a sitting of the Johannesburg City Council in 2022.
He said they, then, took the idea to Mashaba.
“That’s how people are lying that my main difference between Mashaba is about working with the ANC. It is a lie. He endorsed engaging with them. He gave us support.
"He was happy that we’d be able to co-govern, either in executive only and they’re in legislature. That was what he consented and supported and gave us the mandate to go do."

The problem in SA is that the line between conscience and pocket seems somewhat blurred. How do we know which is which?

Seems like Mpho's campaign is in full swing.

You don't. But you don't get to jippo the system to try and figure it out either.

The IEC's job is to ensure elections are free and fair. How free and fair would they be if you could identify a voter by their mark?

Council votes should not be anonymous in the first place. You should be able to see that your counselor votes the way you want him to because he is your representative.

But the DA supportted this secret ballot, vote with your conscious BS in the past and now it is a problem that their own counselors consciouses took some ANC bribes.

You'd be forgiven if you assumed the IEC (The Electoral Commission of South Africa (often referred to as the Independent Electoral Commission or IEC) is South Africa's election management body, an independent organisation established under chapter nine of the Constitution.) should know exactly what is accepted as vote marks..

As voters we would also like to know when those that we vote for are stabbing us in the back.

69 DA councilors paved the way for ANC backed coalition. Is that a back-stabbing or a kiss on the lips ?

What happened to the lie detector tests if they had to resort to these desperate measures?
