Seems they were promised two MMC positions in Jhb and EKH, but they seem to have only got one in Joburg. And in EKH as far as I am aware the EFF get 5 and the ANC 4 not sure how much that leaves as scraps. The PA left the DA coalition over those two seats in Joburg so it is a bit of karma.

Gangster party flip flopping. How predictable. Anyone with an IQ above room temperature could have told you this beforehand, Gayton.

It's the same playbook, over and over again. Feign shock, ignorance and naivety after you've done enough stealing or realize you're not able to steal enough. Then get praised in the media for "doing the right thing", and "coming to your senses".

It's just too easy to be a gangster in SA when the media literally praises you for it.

Interesting shift of tone here from editors and reporters. Usually there are throwaway comments like "inability to attract black masses", etc. It still has wildly inaccurate statements like "Mmusi was shown the door". How does one equate that to reality when Mmusi instituted a panel, chose the participants, and followed the panel's advice that he should resign?

But it does seem like the media is finally starting to realize that if the DA and its proxies are not conclusively voted into power in 2024, SA has zero chance of not being another failed African state.

Quite amazing how the DA manages to run things in SA on a completely different level to the absolute clown show of the ANC and friends. You would expect that any patriotic and nation-loving editor would be splashing these stories all over their publications urging South Africans to vote for them, like they did for the ANC for the past 3 decades. What are the reasons they don't do this?

It's more likely that they will go into coalition with the 1-2% parties like PA/Al Jamaah etc.

The ANC + EFF has been the boogie man since the Julius got kicked out of the ANC. It is stupid and it is hard to take political analysis that push that nonsense seriously.

Minister Sputla, hard at work, even the DA see just how value he adds, very grown up of Mayor Cilliers.

Desperate times.

BTW as a Joburg resident, how is your new coalition doing? We used to get weekly updates about how the city was still a dump under the DA coalition with no improvements. But that all seemed to stop when your team started governing. Can we assume that things are getting better?

Do you not believe it’s a possibility?

Extremely unlikely especially with the ANC old guard of "struggle veterans" still running the party. They are not giving up their seats at the table to some of the younger snot nosed champagne socialist like malema and his crew.

The EFF is too hardline they are not just going to take a backseat in a ANC collision. That will completely destroy them.

The time to fear for this was with the land reform stuff, and they failed to form a agreement on that.

You are probably confusing me with somebody, I do comment about Joburg once in a while but I mostly comment about Tshwane, which is a much worse dump than Joburg.

Nothing much has changed though, as far as Joburg is concerned.

Don't you live in JHB? Why would you comment more about TSH if you don't live there?
