Come now, make a claim like that and don't show any examples is just poor form.

I mean, I'm gonna have to have a word with Chris if he is a bit short tempered but I do need to give him examples to help re-educate the little rapscallion.

Hersov: Swellendam by-election loss a warning for bickering Rainbow Alliance​


The split vote between the DA and PA in the Swellendam by-election last week allowed the ruinous ANC to take the municipality and sent shivers down my spine. It should have been a clear win for a DA/PA partnership.


As it should be across South Africa now, with the ANC permanently ejected from the Western Province, as well as other key cities and municipalities.

[...]

The DA and PA are natural allies, and that obvious partnership should make it so much easier to pull this Rainbow Coalition together along with Action SA, Inkatha, VF+ and ACDP. While I am a DA supporter, and a great admirer of the DA team and very much Helen Zille, I am a strong believer in Gayton Mackenzie, and like his (much smaller, less prominent) team of Kenny Kunene, Charles Cilliers, Eugene Botha, and Marlon Daniels.


They are brothers-in-arms and very much my type of rugged individuals who want the best for ALL South Africans. They are Judeo-Christians, free market capitalists (and fiercely anti-communist like me and against central control), democrats, pro-West, and firm believers in unlocking human ingenuity. They are honest, transparent, principled and Gayton certainly tell it like it is.


Sounds a lot like the DA to me……………….


The PA as a brand and culture is rather antithetical to the DA, since Gayton is a charismatic leader with the tendency sometimes to come across as a political strongman. Liberals are suspicious of that, and it doesn’t help that Gayton was imprisoned by the age of 20 for being an armed robber. Try as they might, my DA seem incapable of trusting Gayton today, despite the overwhelming evidence that he has transformed his life into a force for good – this distrust constantly leads to offence being caused and taken.

The PA is a friend of the Liberation Movement now, hands off!

Like Lewis-Hill, he's a light weight. Good manager not that good of a politician for lack of experience mostly. The DA have been promoting Hill however though the imaging looks a bit cheap Nollywood.

You mean you are not going to follow Rob's advise? Another 5 million of talent is gonna leave soon.

"you should start to pack your bags and be ready to leave the country in 2024."

The dangers of the pandemic treaty have little to do with anti-vax sentiment and conflating the two is silly. I have grave concerns about the pandemic treaty due to it usurping powers that should only be within the ambit of national governments and not those of unaccountable bureaucrats in Switzerland who are earning fat, tax-free salaries. You really think the WHO, which has gravely mismanaged the covid-19 pandemic (remember them believing the Chinese that there was no human-to-human transmission?) should be given even more control?

I personally had an argument online with him on FB before he was mayor. Without going into details of what was said and what it was about- you can have disagreements and have different political views to other people- without getting personal and insulting someone.

Ahhh so "He has a temper problem, but I won't tell you anything about the situation that makes me say that".

Yeah, colour us not entirely believing it since you have a little chip on your shoulder when it comes to the DA.

I didn't even know he existed before he was mayor.
 
Well at least Pappas has a qualification unlike some other unqualified beneficiaries of WEE that have been blasted up the ranks of the DA.

I'll give him that

I'm no fan of Pappas but I'm guessing he totally demolished your studio?

Given how the WHO is basically in China's pocket, whoever has a treaty with them actually has one with China.
