The SA Politics Thread

Basic food items, those who live large must be taxed, remember how much food we waste when millions are going hungry, might as well get some extra tax from that.

Ok fine, tax woolworths but leave checkers alone.

Can't wait for the thumping by-election win next week! Voetsek PA, voetsek! The ANC is already dead in the coloured community so zero chance they will win here. Quite impressed by the turnout on a Saturday given the rural (low population) nature of the ward.

Would be cool to see the DA thump the PA/ANC again.

Cool. Share some articles while you're there...

We can actually. I mean they hyped him up as the second coming of Mandela. And of course, that image was seared into minds...

But also, I think people were so desperate for a non-Zuma-esque leader at the time, that they'd take anyone who made the right noises...

Media can do whatever they want. If you're too dumb to see a conman from a mile off the joke's on you

They have far more resources - both organisationally and financially - than the PA, so they should just win through a far superior ground operation. Obviously it's always hard to get people to pitch up for a by-election on a random Wednesday, but it's up to the political parties involved to get out their supporters.

Please remind the people what her claim to fame scandals are again. It's hard for me keep track of the musical chairs. She was water and sanitation when the army was trying to fix the **** flowing into the vaal or something?

I see Mncwango has resigned from the DA, I guess the writing has always been on the wall.

Yeah, Mbali is just coming off as still bitter about losing to JS.

Btw the margin was 8:2 basically.

JS 80% and Mbali 20%. A massive thrashing.

Who is surprised? No one is.

The moment he went on about "DA RIGHT WING", "DA ARROGANT". I knew he was probably going to be ASA's new KZN leader.

ASA now has 5 provincial heads that are former DA. Strengthing the COPE: DA image...
