The SA Politics Thread Part 6

[Jam Sandwich]

Lol Renaldo...
I remember a couple of years ago I was quite surprised to see his name on the PE beachfront as the ward councilor for the DA.

I don't think anything he has said is as remotely serious saint Juju but his past videos were not exactly good promotion for the DA. I knew they would come back and bite him in the ass. White people just cannot say such things.

Thats all this comes down to...One set of rules for them...One set of rules for the others...

Don't agree with Renaldo, but let's get real, Malema has said stuff far worse than what he said. The swearing didn't help his cause and shows immaturity.

It was 15/16 years ago, he was 25...

 

[CTBP]

Meh, they should keep him, he's giving the correct people chest pains, those same idiots won't say a thing about the other racists in parliament.

If this could compromise GNU, they'll definitely send him to the shadow realm.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Guy needs some serious social media training. However, I doubt anything will happen with this at the end of the day.

It's a 15 year old video and he was young.
I still believe he thinks the same, but now he is just wise enough not to say it out loud. He is now a typical politician. Look at Biden - He was anti gay 15 years ago now he has the pride flag tattooed to his forehead.

From a social point of view, Renaldo has been judged by the court of public opinion. Though Malema has been in front of a judge of the courts, he hasn't been found to be criminal. If you are going to hang, or rather weight the two on opposite sides of the social fabric, it will be the case of Renaldo tearing away on the unity. It is just the way it is. This is why there are repetitions, and relentless bombarding, of social campaigning to influence public sentiment. It does favour majority views.

Yes, us whiteys have learned since 1994 we are not allowed to have a voice. Nothing he said there wasn't factual by the way.

Only because the courts are scared of black twitter.

Did he actually say anything racist or is it just some people with hurt feelings?

He called a spade a spade but some people can't handle the truth.

Yeah probably true to a degree. But he has refused some news organisations comment on his old comments saying they are online for all to see.

If he wants to air his side and act mature he should be willing to communicate with journalists even if it was over something that happened 15 years ago.

 

[TheChamp]

and do you see PA and GOOD agreeing with anything the DA says?

Why not, has it never happened before?

 

[wingnut771]

Why not, has it never happened before?

Never mind. I'll just let the actions speak for themselves.

 

[R13...]

He said the current climate is exactly what apartheid was but, in reverse. I may not have been there but that's total horse ****. You should go look up the definition for space, wingnut

 

[Agent67]

What if they don't want to resign?

They can be fired by the President.

 

[Hush9300]

The DA don’t need this sort of publicity at the moment. They should relieve him of his duties.

Well this is a cluster f if true or the iec results were hacked. My memory ain't great but I do think the numbers were different and if they changed now.....

*Edit* AH apparently they combined the regional and national in the national now, hence the numbers.

You really shouldn't believe random stuff posted on Twitter about 'hacked' election results. This is likely because national + regional ballots were summed together.
