The SA Politics Thread

Sounds like a captured judge.



...but accepts all the EFF nonsense:

AfriForum's hate speech case against EFF dismissed

AfriForum went to court after members of the EFF sang Dubul'ibhunu, which translates to "Shoot the boer", outside the Senekal Magistrate's Court.

I don't really root for AfriForum, but I'll root for them with this case.

The song is blatant hate speech. Let's hope they win the appeal.

Looks like another one has bailed out, I wonder if it's the same Northern Cape guy.

Irate DA leader quits party during TimesLIVE interview, joins ActionSA

Former DA leader in the Northern Cape, Andrew Louw says he no longer identifies with the party

www.timeslive.co.za

Wouldn't be surprised if he becomes ASA's NC leader.

Lol Lmaooo.

What about this?

I assume all this from EFF recently is mostly a response to DA because:

1. DA refuses to grovel to them over NMB
2. DA refuses to jump head first into a MONC before the panel over Phala Phala is finished like they want to.

Agreed. Both should be banned.

So my question is... How did Floyd get that classified report?

They had a good thing going with Zuma, many people were even prepared to give them a chance, things started falling apart after something highly compromising about the Commander or one of his inner circle was revealed, things went downhill from there. They also had no plan post Zuma so their rhetoric started getting old and stale.

Ban a flag ? Lmao. Been there, done that. Move on.

Thabo Mbeki tears into ANC’s succession debate, saying party keeps attracting ‘power-hungry’ leaders

As the ANC grapples with renewal in a bid to ‘self-correct’, former president Thabo Mbeki warned that the renewal must be genuine and not for show.

I think Mbeki's pleas are falling on deaf ears...

The old flag is currently banned?

What I meant was both the flag and the song should be/should remain banned.

 

[Agent67]

Arthur Fraser?

Maybe. Regardless, isn't it a criminal offence to have classified intel, etc?

ANC Western Cape heads to Public Protector in latest Kannaland municipal drama

The ANC has called for a meeting with the Public Protector, claiming that DA in the Western Cape was interfering in Kannaland municipal affairs.

Kannaland is always chaotic.

True. I think they capitalised on Zuma as much as any opposition party and benefited them as a new party at the time. And they don't really have anything else than their typical racist, edgy, radical **** to sell that as you said gets old real fast. I mean it is reassuring that at least most of the SA electorate rejects their radical ideas, but that 10% - 13/15% that might actually fall for it might prove pesky in 2024.

And funnily enough, no one mentions the EFF falling or stagnating in total vote share, just ANC and DA, even tho there is proof that they suffered the same. The smaller parties (VF+, IFP, ASA, etc) were the big winners of 2021 tbh.

You talking about Malema's tax debacle or...?

No man - The discussion around banning MY flag.

Only if you're not EFF. They can destroy property, sing songs about killing people, shoot automatic weapons into the air, instruct people to invade land, assault people and nothing happens.

No, I am talking about whatever prompted that trip to Nkandla and the subsequent change of tone regarding Zuma.

Ohhh, yeah.

Probably struck a deal with Zuma while having tea time at Nkandla.
