Champy was trying to mock most of the times but literally every DA member's comment against him is deeply personal and bordering on hate at times. I think he provides a kind of release valve. :cool:

Well maybe but anyone supporting the racist, crooked and incompetent (just for starters) ANC needs a bit of hate for reality. He's probably trying to find his "100% Zulu boy for Zuma" t shirt for when MK come looking to give him the proverbial boot up da lazy bum.

But I ain't crowing as I suspect an ANC resurgence still (cut my internet tongue out!) and an ANC/MK/EFF coalition which will mean more of the same beating for battered ole SA.
 
As predicted.
The initial reach-outs were made at the provincial level as word came of a possible toenadering between the ANC, DA and IFP, Daily Maverick reliably learnt. It was styled as being in the interest of stable governance in a possible tandem agreement between KwaZulu-Natal and national governments. But nothing will happen until the ANC National Executive Committee meets.

ANC discusses cooperation with other parties as it seems set to lose KZN

By noon on Thursday, the ANC privately acknowledged it had lost its dominance in KwaZulu-Natal. At 6pm, it reached out to political parties for a chat about cooperation.…

This might also set the stage for an ANC + MPC arrangement for the rest of the country...

Yes, not ideal, but as I said yesterday, MK's manifesto is even scarier than the EFF one. MK is far,far worse than even the useless ANC. South Africans can not allow anyone from MK to have access to the levers of power.
 
I guess the next question is what is the national coalition going to look like? ANC/DA would the most practical but their supporters will hate it and never forgive them for partnering with white people. Zuma will create all sorts of division with whats left which could be even worse for them. Juju is going to make outrageous demands.

Cyril going to get the boot? This seems like a given

Let's hope so.

Today I went to work at one of the biggest DA run public provincial hospitals in the DA led province.

The elevator has been broken for ages, I took the stairs. (I should have taken a picture). There was a massive ass queue for basic meds like panado and ibuprofen at 8am.

I had to work in a room where the overhead room light barely works because they cannot order a simple replacement light bulb. The dental chair is stuck in one position and the dental light doesn't work. This makes working impossible and I am a tall guy. These problems were reported months ago.

I deal with specialised cases like oral cancers. How am I supposed to see anything- I just try with my cellphone light sometimes. I did biopsies and sutured today under impossible situations, waiting for assistants because that place is understaffed. I had to move a patient off the chair because there was still blood splatter from someone else's patient who didn't wipe down the chair probably.

And this is not the only Western Cape public health facility I work at. The others have even worse horror stories.

She is your typical granny with no filter, she should have been phased out years ago but im not sure that would miraculously make the DA a 30% party.

She is still relevant and those that don't like the fact that she speaks the truth should do some introspection.

But Zille is a problem. She's erratic and past her time. This was a prime opportunity for them to push towards 30%. I don't blame Steenhuisen, every interview I've seen with him is rational and well thought out. She on the other hand is a loose canon especially when it comes to being caught up in social media. He's just caught up in the crossfire through association with her...

She’s also quite a nasty person (based on personal experience of interacting with her) - not at all likeable.
