And I don't get the criticism of 'wasting your vote on a small party'. The DP was once a less than 2%'r in 1994.

Did the voters that voted for OHM waste their vote and all the other parties that failed to get a seat? How many votes is that?

They must just let MK govern KZN. Not sure why the desperation to prevent it...

Have MK ended their promised boycott of tomorrow's proceedings and all other sittings? Not sure how the NFP can work with a party who aren't accepting the outcome.

You must have dreamt it. How can he fail to be elected when the DA have a majority and, he, their premier candidate.

He's referring to the actual election result where two prominent posters in this thread, one who still contributes and one who is AWOL, said the DA would lose the WC.

We'll use the other ports and reorganise the logistics, even if there's some short term pain.

But this populist threat needs to be eliminated once and for all in the long term for the entire country...

Its not short term pain unfortunately.

It will take 10s of billions of dollars and 10 - 20 years to upscale the non-kzn ports and rail/road infrastructure to be able to cope with the volume.

I do not disagree that the populist threat needs to be dealt with, but I think there may be a misunderstanding of the impact of handing over a province to the populist threat to the rest of the countries economy.
KZN would mean MK literally has the ANC/GNU/SA Government by the short and curlys in many ways and that cannot be allowed.
