There is something not gelling about Mavuso seeing the light now, I mean just a couple of months ago he was elected deputy President of the Veterans league, what is he seeing now that he was 3 months ago?

Not supporting the bribery claim though, just saying the man might have stumbled on an opportunity of a lifetime.

He's known the apple is vrot for decades. His timing means somethings changed. Money normally brings about change

Is he one of the "big names" Roger Rabbit's announced?

I am wondering how soon before the party starts to look like the ANC? If Lekota counts his losses and also joins, I am thinking he could also take the millions and sell the soul of COPE, since it's dead anyway. It would give Jardine's party a lot of credibility.

Lekota is the reason COPE is dead. He must dissolve the party and retire from politics

Does anyone want the former terror though

Colleen Makhubela might be a better bet. She's a crafty one too

Decent guy, but his strategy is off. IMO, he should have never been a leader of a party. He'd have been okay in a support role.

Terror was a fine leader in his day, I have never doubted his leadership at all, one of the few upstanding guys you can come across in politics, the only guy who was able to tell Zuma to his ears that akabadlanga, when all the ANC cowards were tiptoeing around him. But something happened, he is old now and probably not well, someone I know met him at a mall and said it looks like his marbles have not all been accounted for.

He is struggling with what many people struggle with, accepting and letting go.

He got things wrong in the early days. His spat with Shilowa should have been handled better.

IMO, he is a guy who maybe should have been a secretary general or Chairperson of the Federal Council as the DA call it, not a leader.

I wonder if Mavuso Msimang has not been promised something decent to join this group, Murphy Morobe is joining, I doubt he will be the only former ANC veteran joining.

Or it just could be that the former stalwarts want to destroy the monster now as much as everyone else wants to?
