My point has long been made before your grand entrance, atheists are only good for reading books and formulating their high IQ thoughts so that they can pepereza too much on the internet, they cannot govern even if their heathen lives depended on it.

Yeah you really hate it when i rock up dont you? Its just so easy. Your inferiority complex blasts through in so many of your posts, and im here to make it worse for you. If you need divine reward or punishment to keep in line, then what does that say about you? What's with all the High IQ comments? There are children who are capable of knowing that supernatural deities are nonsense. Heck, even you do, seeing as you would deny around 2900+ gods as well. Some of us just go one god further.

I dont think one's religion plays a role in how they govern. You get corrupt Atheists and corrupt religious people. Obama was a relatively good President compared to the other turds the West has had and may have well been the first Atheist President of the US, but just had to act as though he was Xian for PR reasons.

I myself am a a non believer but I dont think the irreligious are more "rational" than believers in a lot of cases and one sees them resorting to that same irrationality they claim to be against when it comes to topics like Animal rights, Israel and Palestine, drug usage etc.
 
So according to Wayne Sussman's analysis, the eThekwini ward that was retained by the DA has the highest proportion of coloured voters in Durban.

KwaZulu-Natal​


Ward 11 (Newlands East, Newlands West) in eThekwini: DA 57% (41%) ANC 30% (29%) PA 5% (6%) EFF 4% (7%) ACDP 4% (4%) ARA <1% (<1%)​


The setting: Newlands West and Newlands East are northwest of the Durban city centre. It is in the area between the N2 national road, the R102 Dumisani Makhaye Road and the Umgeni River. This is the part of Durban with the highest number of coloured voters. The ward also includes Quarry Heights. This is the most vote-rich district in the ward, an ANC stronghold.


The 2021 local government elections: The DA won this ward off the ANC in the local government elections. It won seven of the eight voting districts in this ward, with only one of them closely contested. The DA won by just more than 900 votes. This was despite the ANC beating the DA by just under 950 votes in the Quarry Heights voting district. Turnout in the seven districts carried by the DA was higher than the turnout in Quarry Heights, the sole district carried by the ANC.


The by-election: The ward councillor emigrated after getting a job offer. The IFP sat out this by-election. The party finished fifth here in 2021 with 5% of the vote.


The DA came close to beating the ANC by 2:1 in this swing ward. It increased its percentage vote share in all eight voting districts, including in Quarry Heights. It went from 59% to 97% at Briardale Primary School in Newlands West. At Roseland Primary in Newlands East it went from 44% to 70%, while the PA declined from 20% to 14%.

So, once while I was waiting for my son's tennis session to be over, I chatted to a rambo type of christrian guy (another parent) who believed in literal bible like you wouldn't believe. I am always game for religious dialogue but I like to push limits.

Whenever he said god during our brief discussion, I would say "You mean X, right?" And I substituted Vishnu/Yahweh/Allah for X. He gave up after some time, especially when I upp'ed the ante of Allah and spouted some arabic verses that I had memorized.

Poor guy. Next tennis session onwards, he sent his wife to watch over his son. I haven't seen him since.
 
Claim: "The Democratic Alliance created 98% of all net new jobs in the last quarter of 2022."

Verdict: "While the DA’s calculations for the last quarter of 2022 may be mathematically correct, theirs isn’t a particularly useful comparison."

"More recent data, from the first quarter of 2023, shows the Western Cape in a less flattering light, but DA leader John Steenhuisen has continued to repeat the older numbers and has not always placed these in context."

Does the Western Cape province account for 98% of all new employment in South Africa? Why the DA’s jobs claim is misleading (and outdated)

The DA is often keen to promote its record in the Western Cape. But sometimes the numbers do not tell the whole story.

Do we know if John Steenhuisen studied statistics before dropping out of university?

We don't but we can see that you struggle with reading for meaning.

The article just states that he is repeating old stats.

When did you start getting embarrassed? Because the national party ruled you while believing in all sorts of things, religion and beliefs has always been part of South Africa.

Yes, I've been fortunate to live under two shameful and embarrassing regimes.

The first made us a pariah state, the second has brought us close to it again.
