The SA Politics Thread

[Nom Chompsky]

In case you were wondering why they have been the 20% party for so long, a party that only cares about those who already vote for it is doomed for stagnation and ultimately failure.

A party that harbours ambitions of governing the country cares about all the potential voters it could amass, not just those who are already voting for it.

Ok, let me put it in clearer terms: they will never vote for the DA, just like you. No point chasing voters who will never vote for you.

Who would they be voting for do you think?

And who cares if they have pronouns in their bios? Why do righties get upset about it or even care? Weird.

They probably vote for the EFF. Pronouns in bios are associated with far-left views so that's why we care. Big red flag!

Only smallernyana problem is that I have voted for the DA before and there is no guarantee that I won't vote for them again in future.

Coming back to Zille, it is very shortsighted of her, but I am obviously not surprised you see things the way you do, as I said, there is a good reason why they have been a 20% party for so long and will remain one for as long as they have people who think like you and Zille.

Yes, I don't want the far-left voting for the DA. Horrible, evil people.

Everyone gets a medal for participating.

I would rather say extremely insecure, oversensitive people tend to cry, moan about "pronouns" (as well as actually using them). The far-left thing is an accessory, not the cause.

Meanwhile uGogo is busy going around stirring trouble.

Helen Zille's 'just lose those wokus-pokus pronouns' comment leaves tweeps angered

The DA's federal council chairperson, Helen Zille, had caused some annoyance on Twitter when her comment, which appeared well-meaning, ended up shaming one user for including their pronouns on their profile.

She is going the J K Rowling route, except Rowling can actually write

Mosie van wantroue terwyl koalisie krimp | Die Hoorn

DIE koalisie wat die Groter Oudtshoorn se raad beheer, het verlede Vrydag verder verbrokkel toe die Patriotic Alliance (PA) ook bande met die koalisie

www.diehoorn.com

In other news, my municipality's coalition is breaking up at the speed of sound (as predicted).
PA has left the coalition, the coalition (GOOD, ANC, ICOSA, Advieskantoor and Saamstaan) have 13 out of 25 seats now.

One more (or preferably 2+) seat to go!

Is it something real? I see nothing about Umzinyathi in the news and absolutely nothing about audit outcomes. Could be fake news or they could have gotten a clean audit and that's a typo, I see a couple of clean audits for past years.

Idk, it's spreading like wildfire tho on the Bird App. Looking into it. But I still don't know why it's being memed tho, what does "qualified audit" mean, since people seem to be dunking on it?

Besides the fact that it's not the audit anyone wants to be associated with and everyone prefers the unqualified one?

Can't find it anywhere. Used reverse image search via Google and TinEye, browsed their Facebook page, checked their Twitter...

Nothing...

Unless they perhaps deleted the original? After the initial upheaval?

I doubt he would have bragged just on the poster if it was genuine, there should be something about in the news somewhere, especially since KZN is not known for clean audits, if any mayor gets one they would make it a point to spread the word far and wide.

I think they are just trolling him because it would be very tragic if he genuinely didn't know the difference. Problem with Twitter is that no one cares about the veracity of such things, if you like it you lap it up and go spread it on other platforms like MyBb.

A qualified audit means that the auditors have raised concerns/questions around some aspects of the company's financials.

An unqualified audit means that the auditors are of the opinion that the financials are a true reflection of the company's financial position.

Ohhhhh ok. Makes more sense now. Thx.

Although you would think the "qualified audit" would better be called "unqualified", oh well, financial definitions are weird...

I suppose that's where the confusion comes in!

You never know in SA honestly...

Would be an oddly specific trolling campaign then?

Good point.

KZN is a contested territory these days, someone could have created it knowing fully well the political opponents are going to run with it, no questions asked.
