Yes, the traitors were found and promptly dealt with.

I don’t know.. I think I agree with the EFF here. Why have a secret ballot if that’s not really the case?

This is going too far from the DA.

An honest question for you here:

If you had to choose between these two options which would you be able to live with/endure:

ANC/DA or ANC/EFF (I hate both of these options btw)?

The troll will never respond honestly.

Well someone is lying. So how do you expose the liars?

You don't, you are happy that people voted with their conscience as you have always advocated and you move on, or you show everyone what a hypocrite you are by hunting them down.

Ok, look. The way I see it...

If this was truly a "vote of conscience" issue, like maybe dealing with a MONC or something like that which is high-stakes, then I'd agree with you here.

But where does the conscience come in with simply electing a new mayor from scratch (with completely new candidates)? With the coalition partners having decided on a single candidate without fierce resistance, expect maybe a few whines? There are already allegations of vote buying like in JHB with the COPE Antie's election (with ASA accusing Tau of this).

Remember we are still waiting for the evidence of that vote buying in Joburg, that's long forgotten and we are now moving to allegations of vote buying in Tshwane, still no evidence to back anything up.

It's going to get old at some point.

This is very confidential but I will share anyway, more as a warning. Obviously Mashatile will replace Mabuza as the country's DP shortly, however Paul will ascend to the presidency as soon as 2024 with Cyril bowing out. The climax is that JM will succeed Mashatile as the deputy president...paving his way to rule the country eventually.

That one word is where all the problems in Africa begin. The entire mindset of a continent has to change!! Theis evil word should be replaced with lead!

I find that phrase "economic freedom" particularly fascinating. Anybody on here with the inside knowledge of exactly what they perceive this to be? Please educate me.

Cold or cold feet?

Connie isn't as convincing as she should be. If she beat some sense into her man he'd have retired and spent his remaining time spoiling his grandkids instead of politicking and posting schit on Twitter

What principles?

Wakanda is almost here and people still think politicians have principles

That's the thing about principles. You don't get to pick and choose when you apply them

The cold is all over his body, including the feet as well.

Paul is getting impatient. I reckon Cyril will make a few visits to Mother Russia soon

Not everyone is wishing the CIC a happy birthday today…

They need to publish the list of who attended, and who declined and who just didn't bother to pitch.

You don't, it's a secret ballot. They always encourage the ANC to vote with their conscience but don't want their own members to do the same...
