No, only the jobless can vote.

Nah. But you can still go and vote

I have a black box with something in, what is it?

I tilt the box forward, backward - it rolls.
I tilt the box left, right - it rolls.
I tilt the box diagonally on each axis - it rolls.

It's mere speculation that it's a sphere.

Any chance that it's a many-sided die?

Right, the word games start! If we can't refute it, change the parameters.

ANALYSIS: Coalitions, Collusions, Collisions: ANC’s renewed efforts with ActionSA inject extra energy into the political biosphere

With public claims being made by the ANC that it could again regain power in the three metros in Gauteng by Christmas, there are some indications that this renewed effort could herald a real change in our politics. In particular, the ANC’s claims that it could in fact work with ActionSA, despite...

DA to call no-confidence vote against its own Western Cape legislature speaker

The DA is to sponsor a motion of no confidence against its own speaker in the Western Cape legislature Masizole Mnqasela.

Paywalled.

@TheChamp New ASA WC leader inbound.

But the deputy speaker is cool and will remain in her position? The double standards is sure going to give Mnqasela and the DA detractors a lot of ammunition.

Do all those other countries have unions, burn **** everyday and use rubber bullets? Also, I bet they know what lightning is.

They are in Africa, and you know how Africans roll.

I've been to Africa, it's nothing like South Africa. They laugh at us and our entitlement. They even have solar panels and batteries on every light pole and they don't get stolen.

This is the guy who got the DA their highest vote percentage in KZN.

Will he now become "incompetant" in the eyes of the DA's "core electorate"?

They laugh at us with all their countrymen here in South Africa? No one picked up on the irony at any point when they were giggling away?

Proof that Africans will always Africa.

How do we know the highest vote was due to him? Remember it can only go one way, if the party struggles then it's his fault, but if the party does well we all take collective responsibility for the success.

How many Zambian countrymen are in South Africa?

He has quit.

Where have you been for the past few days...?

This is the guy who got the DA their highest vote percentage in KZN.

Oh? Was he a former DA KZN leader or what? I only know that he was Chief Whip in the KZN Parly?

Will he now become "incompetent" in the eyes of the DA's "core electorate"?

Why would he be labelled as such exactly?

TBH, I wouldn't call him incompetent, I'd call him a politician and he seems to have seen a change in the wind that will benefit him... it has sweet fek all to do with the population.

Geography - Do you speak it ?

I have been to other countries in Africa and have acquaintances in at least 6 of those. SA is seen as big brother in Africa (in a bad way just like sometimes Americans are viewed globally) and at times, it is due to jealousy IMO.
