Nope, blaming their corruption on corrupt ANC is just another silly excuse, is the DA and their supporters ever going to take responsibility and be accountable for anything?

I did not blame the corruption in DA municipalities on the ANC. I blame the DA for not kicking the ANC out.

I blame the ANC for all their corruption, which is a lot more. But I want zero corruption so the DA incompetence at kicking the ANC out and taking power is a problem.

Yep, Ace and President Shipokosa's guy. Looks like he also has a guy in the DA or the Moonshot since he was able to get a tender in Tshwane even after all he got up to in the Free State.

When did he get the tender? Your article says the investigation goes back to 2018. That would suggest ANC not DA.

Solly was the mayor then (since 2016, so a full 2 years after that).

DA should have moved quicker to clean house, but they were too slow/incompetent to fix the procurement process.

Even now they have no clue who the cadres are and how to root them out. Not sure how they expect to govern a country if they can't fix it at a municipal level...

Because that's where service delivery is needed the most, and it is where Panyaza's efforts are appreciated the most, why waste time with people who will moan about something but moan even more when you give them what they have been asking for?

How about Mayibuye Primary School in Tembisa, R82 million rand wasted. Who was in charge? None other than Losefreely.

Sounds like another one of those things that the people on the ground can touch and feel.

Oh yeah, i forgot about that guy. DA will carry on using many ANC people as they dont have the staff to fill with their own people. Thats the unfortunate reality for any political party in South Africa imo.

R295 million and action is been taken. Meanwhile losfreely's R420 million for a wasted tender of sanitizing empty classes, nothing.

Action being taken far too late. 2018 until 2023?

So the DA can't just randomly replace people who are employed, these are not political positions.

They have to actually find the person negligent/incompetent/whatever via normal labour law processes.

Yes and no, depends on the position.

Yes, I noticed that. Randall Williams was mayor when the tender was awarded, but Couch Stuffer wants investigations to extend back to when his party were in charge.

The notion that the DA just sit there helplessly as ANC cadres left behind dish tenders to their friends is exceptionally flawed.

You noticed nothing because what he is saying is not true and what you are saying is also not true, Randall was a Mayor from 2020, the mess has already happened by then.
