The fact that the DA's own ANC level comical mishap caused Steenhuisen to be mocked for lack of education is never aknowledged on Mybb, yet only those that mock him are criticized. I wonder why?

Bad-da doom! Bad-da doom! There goes that same drum again you even have your own thread for beating it on.

Which chief? Name please?

Of course.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

I have first hand experience in telling when someone is telling tall tales.

So do I. You're a prime example.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Of course.

See. You can never provide the facts asked for.

Facts, and are you not supposed to scoff at his underwhelming academic achievements as you usually do? What's wrong?

"Now, if you open the whole country to redraw boundary lines - how much time do you need? There isn't enough time. That's the point we are making. In law, there's not even an institution that would be able to do that," explained IEC Commissioner Mosotho Moepya.

Malema says EFF will kiss frogs to reach its destination | News24

In an apparent reference to the interview, Malema said he was asked whether he could work with ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa or Mashatile.

"You are giving me two devils. Two. I must choose one. I choose the lesser devil. 'Malema says he wants Mashatile'. I want nothing Mashatile. You are giving me two names of which one is better. Yho! These things are worse," said Malema.

Some damage control for the flip flopping, he must be aware that everyone has figured him out by now.

Come on, stop the interference running and deflecting. Name the Chief who showed his finger to the ANC?

Why do we need boundary lines? There weren't any in 1994.
