At least they're making the Scorpions job easier by putting their hands up to be investigated...

Gauteng populist Panyaza Lesufi tanks ANC, but may still get nod for premier​

Against the party’s October 2023 instruction to create distance with the EFF, Lesufi and Gauteng party bosses went ahead to boost coalition governments in Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni even as service levels to old ANC supporters went through the floor.

Since then, the city region of Gauteng has imploded under Lesufi’s watch. While he unveiled mega-glitzy projects costing billions, the province’s basics broke down.

Its roads are rutted, its street lighting needs to be fixed, and most importantly, its people are unemployed and unhappy. Crime constantly rises.
With all the provincial power available to him to intervene and set things right, Lesufi has spent the past three years courting the EFF and allowing a minority party mayor like Kabelo Gwamanda of the three-seat Al Jama-ah party to run Johannesburg, rather than keeping his eye on the ball of city services.

Across the road from the Diepkloof BRT bus stop, pigs graze on litter strewn in veld that hasn’t been cleaned for months. On election day, Soweto made its unhappiness known by staying away, ANC strategists say.

Lesufi didn’t only fail to deliver city coalitions which worked for the ANC. In Emfuleni, the only council in Gauteng that the ANC still runs, the decay hits you in the face. The economy is in visceral decline in this former industrial heartland where ArcelorMittal steel dominates.

On the way in, streetlights are cut down in a line, like trees felled in a forest. Crime is out of control despite a sizeable police force and crime wardens. As dusk falls, dark comes fast. The roads are wrecked. On the way from Johannesburg to Emfuleni, expensive Gauteng Transport road infrastructure projects lie dormant and half-done.

The ANC’s decline in Gauteng could open the way for an ANC-EFF-PA coalition in the economic heartland. Will it go Lesufi’s way?

My thoughts as well..

All the reeing on Twitter, and only 3 of the numpties can make the time to go to an actual protest...

All the whiners on Twitter are MK and EFF, pretending to be ANC...

Strongs @TheChamp. First the gutted liberation movement and now they're attacking your lord and savior who turned gauteng from a powerhouse into an outhouse.

Thinking about you, chin up my friend.

Yeah I know...

Its just more evidence that Twitter is totally not representative of reality. One would think the elections have shown this, but maybe people are just too stupid to see very clear examples.

uBaba will grow even more

There's a realistic chance he might be dead in 2029 so you need to take into consideration.

uBaba is South Africa's Mugabe, He will live to be a hundred and cause chest pains to the GLM that birthed him

If that happens he will be the oldest person living with HIV/AIDS and then all of KZN will believe that taking a shower truly does offer even more protection than just beetroot and garlic!

But it is looking increasingly likely that stone age retrogrades of MK will be totally excluded:



Nothing substantive has been decided yet:

Is that the same "if the Rand falls we will just pick it up" Mokonyane?

I wonder if Pantyaza and @TheChamp have started practising saying Deputy President Steenhuisen yet

LOL @ the DA does not support the NHI

No one supports the NHI

 

[Nom Chompsky]

Hahaha. Excellent news.

Instead, Lesufi has let things slide, and a migration stampede has made the Western Cape catch up so quickly that it is likely to eclipse Gauteng as the wealthiest province

That cackling one is going to give herself a heart attack

She isn't worried because she knows that NHI will save her ...

This is such a brilliant article. @TheChamp fell for Panyaza's nonsense hook, line and sinker.

It was taken very early, apparently the masses have since swelled up.

Great article. Shows just how much damage Lesufi did in GP. "Less talk, more work" backfired and this dude even believed his own BS.

@TheChamp got swept up by the BS on social media too. Don't blame him - Lesufi had a whole people of social media managers to polish the turd that he is.

 

[TheChamp]

Hahaha. Excellent news.

When is this eclipse going to happen? I don't want to be caught napping.

Yeah it will hopefully get better. But I think it will be at least 5 years before any manful change is seeing. The damage and rot is deep and will take time.
