We all know that being a loyal cadre pays off. Perhaps the DA coalitions are more of a threat to you than just ideology!

The DA coalition in Tshwane is not just a threat, it's a clear and present danger as you have seen yourself.

My condolences chief. I'm sure when one tap runs dry, another opens

Yeah, water laced with ridiculous amounts of s*** will still be coming out, while the smarmy voiced one is busy shouting at the ANC in eThekwini for not providing clean water, totally ignoring the same thing happening in his own DA backyard.

Hammanskraal residents despair as water woes endure

Nothing has changed for Temba, Hammanskraal, residents. When they open their taps all they get is slimy, smelly undrinkable water.

You live in Hammanskraal and you can't get a tender for the shitty water? I think you're cadre-ing wrong. When there's a will, there's a way my guy

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.

Politics is sometimes like WWE and personal differences go aside when it comes to doing business. As the saying goes, "there are no permanent enemies or friends in politics", at least in democracies like SA where the high-profile politicians aren't actively trying to kill each other. "Permanent enemies" probably did apply to guys like Putin, Kagame and Saddam Hussein.

I won't put it past ANC to try and negotiate with EFF or DA if they have to but they won't need them in the next elections. They will probably use a strategy similar to what they did to win Durban by getting a few of the 1-2% parties to come on board to make up their deficit.

From the ANC's perspective, this will be the better short-term strategy as these parties will make lesser demands than the EFF or DA.

Lol. They are seriously desperate for attention, jumping on any story.

I'd think more to please their funders (some of which probably have links to the CCP). EFF policy definitely has CCP influence.

All the parties will bend over backward for their funders. Helen Zille was once also taking pics with the Guptas.

EFF policy is confused old school Marxism, nothing like the modern day CCP. There no alignment.

Any evidence of this funding?

Floyd and a few others used to write pro-China columns in IOL. I doubt it is just because they are fans of CCP.

Standard Commie BS during the CCP birthday celebrations. Just drawing lessons from china means nothing really, there is lessons for everyone. I just read the first paragraph and it is obvious they draw the wrong lessons and if you ask them they'll probably think Moa was the good guy and not attribute privatizing and opening up the Chinese economy for its growth.

China has a well-funded media machine and as we have pointed out, there are clearly pro-China troll accounts also pushing the Dalai Lama news online. Wouldn't surprised me in the slightest if it was the CCP guys who were the ones behind the discovery of the clip and eventually leaked it to Indian media. They definitely have their guys analyzing every word the Dalai Lama says in public.

It will be in their best interest to fund parties such as the EFF as they look to boost their presence. This is part and parcel of politics. The US also funds and props up leaders/parties abroad that suit their agenda to advance their interests for a specific region.

Now you are back to defending some peado just because the Chinese also don't like him. Who cares. Everyone has propaganda. You are making giant leaps in logic for no apparent reason.
