The SA Politics Thread Part 6

[Garson007]

They keep saying the voters have spoken and we said we don't want one party to rule.

I don't think that's what we intended to say, just the way its worked out.

I think people over-estimate the ANC collapse. Many in the MK, just like Zuma himself, consider themselves ANC members.

Looks like the lowlife was trying to stage a grand entrance while Ramaphosa was delivering his speech but he was barred by security.

We are getting reports from verified sources that MK= Mortal Kombat.

Can't wait for the list of 71 ANC MPs who will lose their jobs.

I have an extra large supply of schadenfreude waiting.

Scrumptious.

Glad the results announcement went smoothly. Was worried Zuma and his morons will pull something.

Now for an interesting two weeks.

 

[daveza]

Not sure why Zuma was there, he's not going to parliament.

It'll be a bunch of backbenchers that we never heard of anyway. The main culprits will still be there...

There's only so many backbenchers. There were so many cabinet positions...

Wow.

 

[Garson007]

The list should also be authoritative.

Something I'm curious about. Would we see Gogo in Cabinet with a GNU? She has experience specifically with Education MEC for WC before... Maybe Basic Education Minister?

Cabinet ministers are part of the executive, they're not MPs.

When they're chosen as members of the executive, their vacancy in NA is filled by their party...

Zero odds on Auntie Pat keeping her ministers post, GOOD riddance.

She needs to be an MP to have anything to do with government or parliament.

Fair enough, but they have to be MPs first.

He definitely tried but was cockblocked

Not necessarily. A max of two ministers can be from outside Parly.

Section 91.3c of the Constitution.

(c) may select no more than two Ministers from outside the Assembly

The time to be subservient to the bbbbeeeee anc kuk is over

Yep, but the vacancies left will be filled with unknowns.

We could go through their submitted parliamentary list to see who will be left out.

If we assume there's going to be 30 ANC ministers (unknown given the coalition negotiations), we could assume that everyone after position 159+30 would be left out...
