The SA Politics Thread Part 6

[Garson007]

They still have to say, under oath, that they will respect and abide by, the Constitution.

With a straight face.

If I was them I'd take the affirmation.

Zuptas.

@The_Right_Honourable_Brit Just read it in ST. Some "senior" leaders of the ANC apparently say they won't apportion Cabinet according to vote share... It is in the current GNU agreement to do so...

And apparently, they're open to negotiating over police and education (DA must go for police).

At least one thing that corresponds with Rapport is that DA will likely get trade and industry.

To enter a coalition government, the DA has to get something real. All the ANC needed to do was give them Speaker...

 

[Agent67]

Maybe form their own nationalist party.

That'll be under the RET banner.

I wouldn't be surprised if MK and EFF do a merger sometime in future to form a one big, RET, Black nationalist party...

So far we know DA will get between 5 - 7 Cabinet posts and will co-govern GP and KZN.

You're both wrong, when he dies the Zulu vote goes back to the IFP.

I think all three of you are wrong and that HKGK happens when Zuma dies.

What does co-governing actually mean? If Lesufi is allowed to act as he was before the election, it will mean nothing. Amazing that he wasn't fired by the ANC for his party's poor performance in Gauteng as he is ultimately responsible for the provincial portion of the vote.

He won't be allowed to... He will be on a short leash from the NEC at the least and from the GNU as well.

In GP, Lesufi will essentially be at the mercy of DA and IFP.
KZN is more equal with IFP, DA and ANC more or less have the same shares of votes.

It's the same as National. The head of gov goes to the ANC, and MEC posts are split amongst GNU members.

What's PAC?

What's PAC?

The original RETard...

 

[OutlawJoseyWales]

The current laws trigger them and thus it is called evil Roman-Dutch law. And must be replaced by "African laws" i.e. laws that let dictators do whatever the **** they want elsewhere in the continent, also prevalent in North Korea.

Yeah, thought as much.

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Again. Julius doesn't look healthy to me.

Thoughts and prayers ...

They've been saying this since their founding. History (including their own) eludes them.

It's funny as fsck that wanting parliamentary supremacy is actually going back to apartheid. The irony is lost on all of them...

I will create a Facebook account and send Likes.

A good question for many people who voted in 1994. Who did you first vote for? Be honest.

You all weren't DA fanboys then (DA scored almost 70% in recent MyBB polls) but the DP scored like 2% in the first election .

Says who?

 

[Kosmik]

I must have missed the PA and RISE media briefings. Anyway, didn't Gayton say he's quitting the GNU already?

The rise leader/mp has made quite sane statements when interviewed at parliband during his speech. Don't think they are looking for posts but rather to work from Parliament and support/opposed as they wish.

 

[Kosmik]

ActionSA weekend rhetorics have lost them standing, and some of their remarks.

One thing the GNU is showing is very clearly how the smaller parties align in like mindedness.

 

[Kosmik]

May have missed it but I doubt, any word on new Ethekwheni mayor? Scuttlebutt is that it wil be a IFP mayor.
