You are a minority party if you have 20%, of the vote out of a possible 100, it's not even your favourite 30%.

Voting for the NP repeatedly despite them making SA a pariah regime in the eyes of the world was objectively stupid and a reason we are in the mess we are in.

Yes. Many reasons. Failed experiments. They modeling themselves after European style socialist. Flip-flopping on BEE. Part of this is Zille's fault as she doesn't have the courage to stick with real classical liberal values. Part of it is just people being too stupid to vote
Some nonsense twitter argument has nothing to do with it

Still confusing the NP with the conservative party.
The NP is the one responsible for ending apartheid. The "world" gave FW de klerk, the president of the NP a nobel piece price.

The idiots had to end apartheid because they ran the country to the ground and had no choice. Until his death, De Klerk believed in the framework for Apartheid. It was the human rights abuses that he apologized for.
They were continuously winning elections when they strongly campaigned for segregation.

In terms of SA, democracy works much better.
Under non-democracy, the electorate was electing a regime that suppressed information, putting mail bombs. Even Helen Zille was threatened.
We have much better freedoms now.
and Zimbabweans have the land.
"better freedoms" can mean very little under a thoroughly corrupt and self serving regime that has the arrogance and disdain given to it by having the majority of votes and few real checks and balances. Maybe "bitter freedoms" is more accurate?

You described the Apartheid Government.
No doubt mail bombs were used, but targeting specific people. At the same time people were searched at entrances to malls, shopping centers and business's as the ANC were in a habit of planting bombs there, any one was a target.

Looks like everyone has their own version of the Moonshot.

lol..Lesufi’s anti-crime wardens to start on May 1 but without a command centre

The armed officers will be introduced to the public then, despite the command centre, panic buttons and full co-ordination of CCTV cameras not being operational.

The ANC is still heading well south of 50.0 percent in Gauteng in 2024 no matter what this clown promises.

But most importantly, in which direction is the Moonshot heading?The ANC is still heading well south of 50.0 percent in Gauteng in 2024 no matter what this clown promises.

Definitely upwards in Gauteng. Not sure about the other provinces (excl. WC as we don't need any coalition here, fortunately).

A Moonshot Premier? But it still sounds a lot better than a Moonshot President.

The masses have seen the light, our high IQ people have been preaching the good word to their domestic workers and the domestic workers were doing the same back in the townships.
