The SA Politics Thread Part 3

[wingnut771]

Why, because he dared to mention apartheid?

Another one living in the past I see. What did he say about apartheid?

 

[Agent67]

Who?

William Gumede is the chairperson for the Moonshot Convention later this month.

Is he a commie?

Huh? What are you on about?

I thought you read the article? What gave you the commie suspicions?

I stopped reading after I saw the name I didn't know.

And anyone you don't know is a suspected commie by default?

 

[wingnut771]

And anyone you don't know is a suspected commie by default?

No suspicion, I just asked if he was. They are the enemy so just wanted to get that out of the way. I see he's a Professor/Author, so probably a full on left-wing socialist but I could be wrong (hope so) so am curious as to his political views. Is he like Mbeki's brother?

 

[samuelp]

Yes, I am for real.

We all know what needs to be done, going on about that is pointless, the question is, what is going to happen. Is the IFP going to get to 35%? Is the ANC going to remain on the 40%? There is no other Moonshot partner to assist in KZN, ActionSA and the Freedom Front are non entities in KZN, lthe Moonshot is the IFP and the DA.

A 48% turnout and an over 60% is going to yield two different outcomes.

DA + IFP won't be enough to unseat ANC in KZN. I predict DA + IFP => between 40 and 45%. ANC + NFP won't reach 50% though

Minor parties will be king makers there.

If you click on his name on the article you get a list of what he's written for DM. Read those and decide for yourself, it really is that easy.

Sounds like a lot of work.

A lazy local. Read the headlines if that's easier on your brain.

Too many clicks for DM.

African and 'black' countries at a global disadvantage

The global political, financial and cultural systems are unequal and skewed in favour of Western powers. Developed countries have increasingly manipulated global political and economic institutions and laws purely for self-interest, rather than for the global good.

Thanks, so another anti-west commie socialist.

Yeah, we don't need any of his input on moonshot thanks.

To know which way a guy is heading, you kneed to know where he came from and his views.

William should show us what he’s made of and go sort out the spat between the ANC ministers and CoCT.

Shall we arrange a taxi for him?

I'm sure he will if the bickering parties pay him to mediate
