The SA Politics Thread Part 3

[JuliusSeizure]

No surprises that the Action SA councillors are the ones under heavy suspicion... dodgy party that.

Beaumont still sore Steenhuisen had an affair with his ex-wife so it clouds his vision.

Beaumont is pretty funny though. I look forward to campaigning time because Beaumont could well make some videos that will give DA fans chestpains.

It does look likely that their campaigning will focus on attacking the DA as they know strategically, that is their best place to pick up votes.

Just shows you what a dirty game politics is

Yeah, but the way I see it, if the UF deals with the traitors, they'll get TSH back. They do have the numbers in council.

Renaldo Gouws' solar panel 'excrement' upsets Eskom | The Citizen

Eskom is not selling and has never sold any solar panels, the power utility said.

Ai Renaldo...

Mandela was a good symbol and people's person but not necessarily the best president.

Mandela was too old by the time he was President. I actually think he was more of a symbol after the negotiations and his advisors were the ones doing the work but maybe that is how a country should be run because the advisors often know more than the Presidents. Had Mbeki relied on advisors for the Aids crisis, it would have been handled better because we do have some good medical minds in SA.

Ai Renaldo...

Renaldo enjoys attention and being the centre of controversy so he is probably happy.

Not sure what happened to him but over the last year or two, he's been seemingly trying to stir controversy, sometimes unprovoked.

Ai Renaldo...

As much good as Renaldo does, his platform online is nothing but constant fighting, pessimism and controversy. Not to bar his freedom of expression, his overall image online isn't in the DA's favor.

Edit: Sometimes the battles he picks are also quite strange, he is seemingly going more after "woke" targets than his political rivals and offending swathes of people.

The guy has a high conflict personality. I think even the DA realize it because with his following, he'd have been promoted to parliament by now if he just did not regularly get into spats.

I'd say:

DK: B
MA: A
Mbeki: B
Motlanthe: C
Zuma and Cyril: F-

You have to rate de Klerk at least one higher than Mandela as he did all the actual work

Ai Renaldo...

He did not say they were selling panels though. He said Eskom was telling people to buy panels

 

[JuliusSeizure]

Feel for Cyril though a bit.

Agreed, he's probably an E but had he been the guy instead of Zuma, it could have been a very different view.

Ignore the party line and vote with your conscience they said, just don't vote with your conscience against us, don't you just love politics?

But yep, time to smoke those traitors out, what do you think they should use, lie detector tests?

Cyril is just completely useless. He could have been okay if he got handed a well functioning state where he just had to do nothing.

Is ASA going after smaller parties now?

Huh, we must condemn... Oh wait, they're not the DA, so it's fine

Maybe they should use your infamous bones?

Maybe they should use your infamous bones?

Now that would work fast fast, but I don't see that Zille and Steenhuisen embracing our ways, if only the IFP had more voice.

Hypocrite, now that the secret ballot has worked against him he has a problem with secret ballots.

Politics and hypocrisy go hand in hand.
