Don't know how he's going to control a party if he can't even control a game of chess. **** is sitting on white but playing black.

Much like his style of politics.

Jacob "Everyday I'm Shuffling" Zuma.

I'll give him one thing though... He has cojones. We woke up numerous times to new cabinets under his tenure. He gave Des "Weekend Special" van Rooyen the shortest finance minister stint ever.

Now what has this silly little rant earned you? LOL

What are you on about? ANC put themselves into this position bc of endless lies, corruption and incompetence. Now the DA is essentially bailing them out, and as I said, they'd best play carefully. 'LOL'

The DA made a choice to form a government with the ANC not because of they felt compelled to bail the ANC out, there is a mutual agreement. They did so due to having common interests.

The DA are not some saviour or benevolent party. They're doing it for selfish reasons too, in that they're at all costs trying to keep the EFF and MK out of government as well as delay their own demise. This is as much an opportunity for them as it is for the ANC.

They're both likely never to be the same after this election.

Masks keep falling. A shame really.

every time these charitable philanthropist types start speaking politics they only manage to show that they should STFU and stick to charity instead

Nothing about the South African people in his commentary. Funny, huh?

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

All I would expect to change, is perhaps a slightly more toned-downed voice, but even that isn't a given.

would be interesting to see who's voice is toned down though ... DA made some clownish statements of arresting Putin for example, I expect they'll be cutting that out now

The sad part is he is genuinely good person with a specific part of his psyche twisted into a pretzel as a result of not being able to let go of 'if you're not out there burning Israeli flags then you must be supporting the killing of women and children in Gaza'

I know several fundamentally good people who are wholly unable to get past their emotional reaction on this topic. The only way that we remain friends/acquaintances is by never discussing or even alluding to this particular topic

... in keeping the EFF and MK out.

And that's about it.

Don't use Google translate for languages such as seTswana and seSotho for reasons I'm too lazy to discuss.

Nothing. No expectations.

Well, you know what they say about the third time...

You know how much lube to use?
