Why do they do this? Who gives a ****. Just tell us who it is lol

IDK. To build hype, I guess. It was nifty the first two times, but afterwards, it's just boring now.

I think there will be a lot less people voting for ANC, in 18 months time.

I hope so. And more for the opposition.

ANALYSIS: Everybody wants to rule the world: Zweli Mkhize’s ‘the more, the merrier’ belies the future ANC reality

The confirmation in the last week that both Cogta Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma and former Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize will participate in the ANC’s December leadership contest reveals much about the party’s internal situation.

What viral Msinga video?

Not sure. Just saw this post from IFP.

Apparently, one of the IFP councillors there accused the ANC mayor of the muni of killing the IFP councillor at said councillor's funeral.

To reiterate how we got here. ANC was warned, but they ignored the warnings. Extremely shocked (as in Rama shocked) that what they were warned about came true.

He can't come back and won't given that the likes ASA have said they'd preferred a speaker from one of the other coalition partners.

Technically the DA can put Da Gama up for nomination again, the coalition partners should not have any problem with him because they never had a problem with him before.

The DA should do this and put the ASA on the spot because there should really be consequences for the ASA doing the wrong thing.

The ASA are just butthurt and want to stick it to the DA.
