The SA Politics Thread Part 6

Seems like the MK-talk didn't help him...

His possible voter base was Midvaal people... and well he probably alienated all of them with his MK-talk.

Thanks. TIL.

So.. it's the first time in 30 years, the ANC cannot just decide who is president. Good stuff.

Yeah I think the Chief Justice becomes acting president untill a president is selected

Well we could have worse care taker presidents than Zondo

This actually bodes well for ANC-EFF coalition so not really a good news. Unless Cyril is ousted by Zuma's friends in ANC. I really doubt.

This is looking very possible now - Julius as deputy president?? Maybe we were all too quick to celebrate!

The president chooses the vice president.

JZ is still a card carrying ANC member right?

The correlation between income and ANC/DA votes is so clear to see. Seems like the poor are still voting to remain poor.

If you're poor and living under a king and that king tells you to vote ANC/EFF, you comply or else...

Yes, they did say they'll have disciplinary hearing for him after the elections though...

TIL, but still if the ANC and EFF form a coalition, it will be a requirement I'm sure. Or was it Floyd as minister of finance

The president chooses the vice president.

So all you need if EFF to ask for Cyril to be booted and Mashatile to come on condition Mashatile chooses JuJu for DP.

Yes that is a possibility.

Yes they'll be able to negotiate a sweet deal.

We seem to have lost some extremely active participants in this thread. Anybody knowing anything about power outages or ISP issues?

Certain very active members said they would not run away from the results. Maybe they did.... chest pains are real mos.

Interesting that. Produced more millionaires per square metre than any South African university.

Dead.

Hahahahaha, lol.

 

[Nom Chompsky]

Correct. I'm the guru of WC politics. Do not listen to anti-DA posters who have a vested interest in rubbishing anything the DA does.

De jure. Has been that way since at least the new Constitution. Won't make any presidential rulings and the very first seating of parliament sees both the Speaker and President elected. Nothing like the long negotiations you saw in The Netherlands.
