Yep, we are a small province and obviously can't accommodate all the taxpayers, it makes sense to donate some to the Independent Republic, 15% is pitiful.
You'd think the old warlord would have the presence of mind to step back and allow the IFP to find their way without him just like Mandela did with the ANC.
Also from today's ST:From today's Sunday Times:
So they're stalling the election until after next year (which kinda makes sense, since a leadership change now might be chaotic). They seem to support Moonshot but they're angry that John made the announcement at Congress (makes no sense but ok). Also, what other name should the coalition use exactly? Ubuntu, maybe?
You'd probably applaud if the Doomsday Coalition takes GP, with your glorious leader Lesufi at the helm.
It seems on the one hand they are trying to stand on their own two feet (and they are), but on the other hand, they play like the ANC and invoke Buthelezi as a trump card, like ANC does with Mandela (which also seems to be working)...
He was the leader until 2019. Hlabisa took over from him, and from there on out, the IFP has been moving up.
That was around the time they were losing good leaders like Ziba Jiyane and Ka Magwaza Msibi who were tired of waiting for him to step down, it's like creating a mess then stepping aside for someone to clean up after you, not exactly noble.

And not like Hlabisa is the best leader they could find, it's his handpicked successor but he still doesn't trust him enough to let go.He was the leader until 2019. Hlabisa took over from him, and from there on out, the IFP has been moving up.

Now for the ANC/EFF article from ST:
I see Lesufi is trying to act like the puppet mayors they've appointed in GP, are because "The ANC's voice is not trusted" and not just because ANC and EFF refuse to vote directly for each other's candidates because it would lead to chaos amongst their voters.
Essentially, Lesufi confirms a planned Doomsday Coalition in GP for 2024 and says they (ANC GP) expect to fall far below 50% (which confirms the views of many that ANC will lose their majority next year).
Yup. Especially the frank admission that ANC GP won't have a majority on its own next year. And the shite they've been pulling in GP metros have been trial runs for next year. A Doomsday Coalition with a puppet leader from a small party at its wheel...
I thought the DA and it's partners are taking Gauteng?
Well apparently most tax payers from Gauteng are flocking to the Independent Republic. They are presumably DA voters, so that would theoretically make it harder for the DA to take Gauteng.
That's what I'm hoping for yes. That the Moonshot okes can keep the Doomsday okes at bay.
