The SA Politics Thread Part 3

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

You guys suddenly take these opportunists' views seriously when they talk about things like Apartheid in a positive light but call them liars when they talk about other stuff. By this logic, we should take Carl's views seriously on minorities and WMC.

Just 4 U, Silkie. Spin it, spin it ...

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Why not for the entire thing?

Indeed, and why prioritize it ahead of the VBS thingy ... and a gazillion others?

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

What the DA is lacking is some tact around this in terms of managing the politics and putting a positive spin on it after their blunder in the aftermath of this, but they are right about one thing, the EFF is zooming on Phoenix because the racial thing presents a perfect opportunity for them to pursue a populist rhetoric, they were very much in support of the anarchy and violence, why are they now concerned about the dead?

They did not care and were hoping people would be killed by the police so that they can use that to force Ramaphosa to step down, when that did not happen they quickly found an opportunity in the Phoenix deaths.

Oi! I'm going to report you to the mods! This is the third time this week we agree on something. What did you do to our Champy?

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

At least with the July riots there was white, indian and black standing shoulder to shoulder fighting off the hordes of savages.

Progress.

Exactly why it needs to be investigated.

And why the EFF wants to have it investigated. We can't have this evil unity, it takes away our voters

Paywalled. So Juju actively trying to subvert the law... Not surprising. Also, need to keep his donors under wraps of course... Can't have Mazzotti shown on our books...

I'm not convinced they have donors.

The law has that loophole built-in and they're just taking advantage. Doesn't seem like any subversion.

I couldn't listen to it with all the accents.

Why would Wagner interfere with the elections in the name of Russia, when Wagner and Russia now despise each other after Prigozhin's attempted putsch?

I stopped listening when they said they were going to manipulate the elections with social media.

The problem is they're trying to hide their donors. Why? I mean why would you hide your donors, if there's nothing wrong...?

They're trying to make it look like they have donors giving over R100k. If that were true they wouldn't need VBS money and the salaries of their councillors and MP's and make threats about filling buses.

Very embarrassing when most of your funding comes from WMC?

Or rather ₽

It was explained. Mutually beneficial outcomes when it comes to Africa.

I wonder when they are going to start interfering?

Do you mean "since when".

Did you know that the DA was also opposed to naming the party donors? They also actively opposed the court challenge that resulted in the ruling that donors should be made public, did they have anything to hide?
