Seems like a divorce between Rob Hersov and the DA might be imminent

Hersov, once the hero of many in these circles mentioned in this letter that the ANC has the second most intellectual leaders in SA politics (albeit with failed ideology) and he thinks the VF+ have the most intellectuals.

He feels the ANC have more intellectuals than DA. Surely @surface, Hersov is now a traitor and all stuff he was praised for should be forgotten?

"Let’s take Dr Corne Mulder and the VF+. With 2-3% of the voters, this party (and Corne, the most authentic, experienced, and competent parliamentarian) is head and shoulders more mature, is better disciplined, and has a deeper bench of intellectuals than any other party in this country (only the ANC comes close intellectually but from off a failed ideology)."

You do realize that John is English right? :laugh:
LMAO. I know right?

Imagine you go up to an English oke to win his vote, and you ****ing give him a TOP 10 GROOTSTE SOKKIE TREFFERS CD.

P.S. But on the other hand, Johnno probably has some Afrikaans blood in him somewhere, cause you know, his surname...

Point is that they are trying desperately hard to win back Afrikaans votes. Johnno has even done ads in Afrikaans.

He never did any in Isizulu (the main language of his hometown) when he is from KZN and doing stuff in Isizulu would have made him look very good in terms of boosting relations with IFP (a potential very important coalition partner for DA). It would have also boosted his image in KZN and nationally as Zulu's are after all the biggest ethnic group in KZN.

Ok? But he isn't really fluent, I heard him last night on KykNet Verslag, and although he tries his best (I'll credit him for that), he eventually switches back to English...

Maybe. Although I've only heard him use some Zulu words here and there.

Maybe the DA could do ads like this:

English: Johnno
Afrikaans: Oom Leon/Meyer/Cilliers Brink
Zulu: Pappas, of course
Xhosa: Nicholas Nyati/Siviwe Gwarube
Sotho/Tswana: Solly Msimanga/Mpho

But the big problem is costs and stuff probably. So they'd most likely opt for the first two or three...

Why do the last 2 get black people? That’s discrimination.

He tries in Afrikaans but not Zulu (the language of his hometown) or any other indigenous language. Why? As a senior politician in charge of a big party, he should be making an effort to connect with people as his former colleague Trollip did.

Malema speaks more languages than this guy.
