The SA Politics Thread

[Agent67]

I'll also be interested to see what the DA is doing for the Khoi and San communities in Western Cape.

They can't blame ANC there because they do have power to do things for those communities there.

We'll have to see I guess, but at least, those languages along with Afrikaans, won't be considered "foreign" anymore.

Well, at least he showed disgust just at the mention of the ANC's name? So at least we know he won't vote for them?

He looks like he won't vote for anyone, which is not what the grand Idea of democracy is all about.

I have heard debates about Afrikaans being considered a foreign language by some but nothing about the language spoken by the Khoi/San people?

And you wonder why parties like the DA who have supporters like you struggle to attract black voters.

And you wonder why parties like the DA who have supporters like you struggle to attract black voters.

They don't know where the local KFC is located.

Yeah, one would have to be an idiot to say that Khoi/San are "foreign".

It's fair to say that the ANC are not doing enough for the Khoi/San and to educate South Africans but it's not like any government did and I haven't seen the DA do anything for them either. The DA have no excuse as a lot of their descendents are based in the Western Cape.

It means, they'll think about abandoning this whole thing. then do it, anyway.

There are a lot of outcries to Rama to fire Mthetwa.

But as we all know Rama won't do that. "Unity and renewal", etc.

I have not seen him make any significant moves - with anything, of late. What exactly is he doing, these days?
