The SA Politics Thread Part 6

But on to serious business. Anyone actually think this GNU will work?

What do you mean by "work"? It staying stable for more than a year would be a great start.

If it improves our rand, and brings in investors again, I'm happy.

That will be in the honeymoon period. Won't be long before reality bites

Work as in do the business government is supposed to do. Not playing politics with people's lives

Dependent on (a) the ministries that the DA gets (so not stupid ministries like Culture, Sport or Tourism) and (b) whether the DA is allowed to implement changes.

They've got 2 years before LG elections, and 3 years before Ramaphosa's ANC successor is elected.

No time to fiddle and fart whether they like it or not...

My immediate expectation is that it won't be worse than before, and potentially a bit better. My hope is that it could be much better.

Considering that an ANC/MK/EFF coalition would have been substantially worse than before, I'm happy with how things turned out.

All this GNU negativity we could have had an ANC outright win and no hope for a change I'm positive for our country's future.

And how well did that New Dawn positivity work out for you?

This is what scares me the most. Things might look up for the next 3 years while change is happening, and then we may end up with the RET faction again.

I hope and pray that the agreements that were signed are enforced until 2029 regardless of party leaders. I don't have much faith in Cyril to clean up his party before then.

Did you actually read his post? Do it again but slowly.

Politicians will always play politics with people's lives. That's not going to change. It not turning into a circus we saw in Johannesburg and Tshwane would be a good start.

If it can hold for a year.

I did. He's living in lalaland. Same as you

I wonder if anyone would be offended as they were when Cyril announced similar measure of having some departments located directly in the office of the President, @PrimeSteak how do you feel about it?

If the country doesn't get worse, good.
