The SA Politics Thread

[Agent67]

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

Exercising his shocked face and his "I noticed your... So I will build/create" speeches?

Otherwise, IDK? lol

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.

Yes he won't do it, most probably because it's politics, firing him because there is an outcry will do a lot of damage to him politically, the opposition will be all over him instead of saying well done, you he would rather reshuffle him at his own discretion some other time when this has died down.

Seems like Mthetwa has a naming addiction...

Don't you think they would be happy Rama fired a guy who wanted to spend R22 million on a 120m flagpole? That lights up and is apparently quite educational?

Same Mthethwa who defended the exorbitant spending at Nkandla when he was police minister. 8 years later he is still a minister and still wasting tax payers money.

Nope, that's not how things work in politics, it's all about exposing your enemies weaknesses, you never ever allow your enemy to tell you what to do even when you are going to do the exact same thing.

Cabinet approved R22m flag to bring South Africans together - Mondli Gungubele | News24

Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele says Cabinet approved the 100m flag pole at Freedom Park in Pretoria in February for nation-building.

Sure, it's bringing SAns together... to oppose the construction of this flag, while you know the money could've been used to address our current, more pressing problems?

If they don't want to build massive flags, then they want to donate money to Cuba and SA suffers for it every time.

2024, will be a "now or never" moment.

P.S How does a massive flag promote nation-building exactly? In a country like ours, where we're all constantly at war with ourselves?

I thought Tabane had agreed to withdraw and apologise. He's probably trolling and will apologize before it goes to court.

Serious question, is that guy okay?

He's doing stand-up about the flag.
@Priapus This is what he's been doing lately, trying stand-up.

Sooner we get the ANC out, the better. They think it's all a joke.

I completely agree with you. I said this so many times already, but I'll say it again. 2024 will be a 'now or never' moment in our country similar to 1994.

Exactly, 30 years. Reminds me of that article I once read about African liberation movements that turn into parties, not staying in power for longer than this.
