I 100% don't disagree and I personally would want the DA to stand their ground, but I'm also aware that at this point the whole "GNU" is probably very fragile and backing someone like Renaldo could have dire consequences for the country as a whole.

Sadly in SA you need to pander to the majority who literally have no understanding of anything but the lies told to them by their "leaders"

No. Most don't. Maybe like 5%. The most radical EFF supporters. But they are also shack dwellers and not prepared for a civil race war.

Real criminals out murdering people don't give a shít.

I don't think that is a problem unique to SA unfortunately, it is something the rest of the world suffers with as well with the rise of populism and the radicalisation of the general population.

If this Renaldo thing had happened in say 6 or 12 months, the response may have been different, but right now things are fragile and he might need to be the one thrown under the bus for the stability of the GNU.

They were murdering farmers before that. The people killing farmers aren't political - I admit there have been cases where farm murders didn't relate to economic crime like poachers, grazing, land disputes, and sometimes labour. But most of it is crime with the collusion of workers and former workers.

Ok so let me get this straight, they were killing farmers before that? But the guy sings a song about killing them anyway, when it's brought up that it's a bit insensitive and maybe a bit racist, we get told noooo it's a struggle song and it's been sung for years, it's not about actually killing boers, it's just a song... Can you not see why someone might get a bit sensitive about it? Especially when his heritage is farming?

Sadly I agree as well, I don't really have any love or hate for the guy. Most of the time he really is hot headed and does say stupid things, I just find the whole situation so hypocritical. Oh well we live in SA, at this point in time we have other issues.

I get the sensitivity but you're being emotional. If you use your head you'll see that - all of the research data (by the farmers group I forget their name) is that farm murders are mostly economic crime.

Don’t worry, I’m sure there’s a lot more racists you can have potjie kos with. Get a nice Paul Kruger lament setup as well.

WTF is that even mean? Did you bump your head? Would you like us to call you an ambulance?
 
Anyway... let's move on.

Any more hints at when cabinet will be announced?

Dude I'm talking within context of the video we're talking about here ;-), the whole reason everyone is saying this guy is racist. He did a video back like before the 2010s, when the whole farm murder thing was happening and Malema was chanting the struggle song.
His heritage, his people etc, this is where I bring up context

I heard somewhere that it was going to be done on Monday but I don't believe that to be honest, there is much horse trading and negotiating to be undertaken.

This guy has said far worse things, not in your precious context. He can only hope they don’t find those streams.
