We (here in Port Elizabeth) are suffering as a DIRECT RESULT of coalition chaos. It must never be forgotten that we were the first to go through a change of mayors every month (well not with such frequency but it appears like it!!!!) since 2018. Athol Trollip was running this place well - things were improving. Then came Bobani and the UDM leaving the coalition and the EFF pushing them and Malema's infamous racist statement referring to Trollip "Cut the throat of whiteness". Ever since then (and 2021 elections made it worse due to the votes) things have gotten worse. This place would have been better if the ANC just remained in total power ie over 50% in 2016 when they first dropped under in this metro (and that is quite a statement from someone like myself!!!! As I have nothing good to say about them). Today what's been going on? Well last week pylons fell over putting half the metro in darkness. Those pylons were meant to be replaced (as they had rust) 3 - 4 months ago but was delayed due to "finances". The leaks in pipes - ja we've had a drought but we would never have had water issues if pipes were maintained and leaks fixed. The present mayor whilst the metro is in distress with electricity issues is on a "trip to China" !!!!! Unbelievable. A puppet mayor of the ANC and EFF (a local party Northern Alliance). Essentially the same as the Joburg story with Al-Jamah. The story is that politicians need to start listening to their bosses (IS THE CITIZENS!) or the voter turnout will continue to drop because we are getting gatvol! The silent majority will soon become the ACTING majority.
Same story in jhb gauteng. After a car gurad mayor we now back to dodo morere whostarted off foot in mouth, suggesting using illegal immigrants to police rather than using SA citizens. The mind boggles
Thirty years of voting DA is why PE is in such a state... Now because of the Cape colonies finally realising how pathetic your liberal votes were now the DA runs to the ANC!!! Maybe PE can actually vote for change and vote OHM or FF+, it seems very unlikely however
@@RicksPhatPharm-vw2lb Since when did I vote DA? And the DA were irrelevant in this metro until 2016 because thats when they got power from the ANC. I never voted for any of these parties. Come back to me when you have fixed your psychological issues. And Ive only lived in PE for 9 years clown. Im not from here.
@@RicksPhatPharm-vw2lb What nonsense, the Municipality improved considerably when Athol Trollip was the DA Mayor!! The DA is no longer in charge in PE/ Nelson Mandela Bay which has been governed by an ANC/ EFF/ PA Coalition for a long time now!!
That's because the FF+ don't distinguish between ANC corruption and DA corruption. Corruption is corruption, and the DA is not beyond reproach. The DA is no different from any other party: without opposition, it will become arrogant, complacent and corrupt. It's time for you to let go of your binary Westminster mindset, that political landscape is gone for ever.
So, when the DA rules badly and commit corruption, that is ok? Rules for the but not for me? This idea your party should somehow immune from scrutiny and not be held accountable is just as dangerous, regardless of whether its the ANC or the DA.
It's not merely "arrogance". dr Mulder _did_ define what he was talking about. Giving your coalition partners one day to read and approve a 360 page budget, and then running to the ANC for approval if your coalition partners refuse. Forcing the council to pay the bills of a private construction company and not even heeding your coalitions objections to at least get a legal opinion on the matter. DA supporters are no better than ANC supporters - they are just as blind to the faults of their own party.
Agree. I'm sure the coalition will hold - unless Action SA jump ship. It is a party I respect, and I do believe they are smart enough to know that it would be political suicide to scuttle the best performing, flagship coalition in the country. If Action SA jump ship, then they will end in 2026.
@jacobusbotha3738 You dontvturn arround the mess created over 25 years in 5 years. The coalition managed to turn the finances arround and is slowly making progress to making the city run well again, but dont expect overnight miracles.
Due to this Mr. Muller - sorry Dr Mulder - I did not vote for the this party. That also applies to his boss Groenewald. For years they are living the good life in Politics. They are no good for any other career.
You've asked this question already, haven't you? As a FF+ supporter myself, I understand that a government had to be created in Upington and the DA refused to come to the table to salvage the coalition. So no, its not the FF+ propping up the ANC, its the DA. It's the very same DA who refuse to any efforts to unseat the ANC in Johannesburg. They are "quite comfortable" in their opposition seats.

Instead of joining DA to fight for majority of black people to join DA they are fighting amonsts each other. Marriage they are both white. They must forget about languages Afrikaans English.

Yeah right. Giving your coalition partners one day to read and approve a 360 page budget, and then running to the ANC for approval if your coalition partners refuse. Forcing the council to pay the bills of a private construction company and not even heeding your coalitions objections to at least get a legal opinion on the matter.

@Hannodb1961 The Western Cape has been governed extremely well by the DA for many years now. That is the reason why everybody is fleeing here. I have not one bad word to say about their governance and could not care about the politics and different parties' internal fights. The DA have an excellent track record. They are the only party that has a good governance track record. Think about it.
@ninaosborne2004 First of all, the DA rules well "compared to what"? The ANC? Thats a very low bar. Also just because the DA is the only party thus far that received enough votes to rule outright, doesnt mean they're the only ones who can do it. Thats a silly argument. Also, it is a false argument. The FF have been in coalitions in many municipalities with the DA, and they've done a stellar job too. There has been many instances of DA officials involved in murky dealings. The fact that you choose to not hear it, as you admitted, doesnt mean it doesnt happen. I mean, there is a rwason why the DA lost votes in 2019, and that is the ultimate problem, isnt it? The DA cannot be trusted to have principled politics, because they chase votes at all costs.
@Hannodb1961 Regardless of what you said, no good governing party has had so many votes except the DA. No other party has governed as long as the DA and done a sterling job or even has a track record. In-fighting does not concern me. Good governance and putting your money where your mouth is does. No other party has governed long enough to have a proven track record. That says it all. The proof of what you say lies in what you achieve. Name one other party that has governed for the same time as the DA and whose province looks like the Western Cape. Those are the true facts, whether you see or believe it or not.
@ninaosborne2004 So, basically, you vote DA because everyone else vote DA. Be that as it may, no party is above reproach. A DA that is not held to account will eventually degrade into an ANC. If the FF didnt take a lot of DA support in 2019, the DA would've continued down its woke path and be a lot more unhinged, as is in the case in the West where major parties have no fear of being perminently ousted from power. Hopefully, after Oudtshoorn, it will now also have learned to respect their coalition partners and not take their loyalty for granted.
I hope our coalitions don't devolve into a two party system like in the US. Then you might as well just have the ANC till Jesus comes. Dr Mulder is probably the most level headed politician we have at the moment.
Too many political parities in SA causes all these problems, and small parties can make or break coalitions that only causes instability and no progress in services that the people in SA desperaty want.
No that is not true. Small parties give the electorate more choice, and keeps politicians on their toes. These small parties are a _good_ thing, it means the voters doesn't have to play ping pong between two equally corrupt parties.
I was disgusted by Steenhuisen in a discussion on Israel Steenhuisen did not give a strait answer! Just grumbling about their stand on Israel. They lost my vote!
Connie Mulder is like Mashaba people dont vote for them now he try to be intelligent but if you watch at the by election this week Mulder dont know what to do They will go the same way as ACSA
En so is dit alweer waar ons nie kan saam staan nie. Elkeen wil self kraai op sy ashoop. DA en ander moenie dink ons sien nie die goed raak nie. Almal het nogsteeds ons stem nodig.
Dr Mulder makes a lot of sense, sadly once again it is politicians making decisions without a thought of the consequences. It is time for the voters to learn for the future.
Mulder is clever and insightful but the future of Freedom Front + is doomed. It's a dying party with more Afrikaner voters going to the DA as default. If they want to win over more people, they need to reform.
Politics must be demonitized to save SA! No salary for politicians because SA can't afford it. Let volunteers 'represent' the people and fill community positions such as mayor etc. Then the current WAR to controll the fiscus, will end! Professional, apolitical, career administrators must serve the citizens in government. How do we rid our country of these bafoons?
Talk about the Joker in the pack. This from an individual who opposed constitutional talks pre 1994! How much of the vote did Your party get in the last election?!
The VF+, PA, ACDP, ActionSA and some other conservative/right-wing parties should allign and make a big ‘Republican Alliance’ party and counter especially blk voters who’ve always voted for the left 🤝
Groenewald does make a difference to its support base. If the correctional department operates optimal, the criminals will not be released early, money not stolen that much. Therefore, fewer criminals in the communities, better use of taxpayer money, etc. etc.
We will never join that flip flopping self serving principleless party. The FF+ serves to represent the interests of the Afrikaner people, and if it wasn't for us, the DA would've been way further down the Elana Barkhuizen path, leaving us in the political wilderness.
Lol! No thanks. I will never join that self serving flop flopping secular party. I'm quite happy to remain with the FF+, a party that unashamedly represent me even when it is unpopular.
Blacks do not want to vote DA as see them as racist and arrogant, but are keen on a GNU. That means working together. DA needs to learn this. Integrity is needed to defeat MKP/EFF who represent corruption. United you win, divided you fall which the DA is now seeing in local ward elections.
SA Did not implement GNU Properly...all parties should be involved regardless of what differences .. It's high time the populace of Africa and even beyond to realise that the Majoritarian Electoral System practised for decades was wrongly implemented...and as a result we have seen wars everywhere..high rates of unemployment and many more related economical hardships. even corruption due to too much ungurded maladministrations . Too much dissatisfaction can only be addressed by the governments who can be elected to work together in the GNU Electoral systems. like it is said.the Majoritarian Elecyoral System only works well with the existance of only two parties in a given State or Country..to achieve the scenario of 51%/49% balanced parliamentary setup..The rulling parties that have ruled us have never been perfectly been opposed to create the parliament that can effectively do the (check on the balances) upon the way the Goverment has to run in terms of achieving the principles of consensus democracy. The system whereby we continued for so long with only one party dominating the majority overwhelmingly made us subjected to a type of laises-fair leadership style that also completely excluded the ever minority so called opposition parties in the running of the government.. The current Unemployment , Poverty and other social crises are a result of Having ran the unchecked government and the making of laws that at times, somehow put and placed our past and present Presidents with no choises ...but in precarious circumstances. The erruption of so many political parties in one Country can not help the continuence of the Majoritarian Electoral System..that should be a forgone concept that will never be achievable regarding 51%/49%...status quo. The current ongoing 2024 elections in Africa should be taken seriously by the electorates and realise that they can no longer be made not to understand the truth about politics... The only alternative for The majoritarian electoral system is going for GNU.. GNU eliminates the political concept of OPPOSITION..No opposing as the Parliament work together to debate laws and pass instruments to be executed by the Executive.. In a perfect and fully practiced GNU , ALL elected Political Parties enter into a Power -sharing-- arrangements of the Executive proportionate to their elected vote percentage...and this must include all ,not a coalition of few parties Africa was colonised by Majoritarian Electoral System and since decolonisation , the system continued to date with dominance of one Majority party totally unopposed for decades.. Such parties made laws giving the presidents unwarranted excessive powers to run the countries as a lone party section, unchecked,unaccountable. Workable and Achievable Political set up of the Majoritarian system demands only the existence of two Political parties per given state or country to be effectively executed..making a balanced parliamentary system of a ratio 51% / 49%. This has never worked and the system created the loophole with which the Foreign Policies had upper influence in the way economies of African countries have come to be. Another back stab,political parties, mostly those advocating for alternatives and have been on the so called opposition bench for so long, they make matters worse by not maintaining the status quo of only Two political parties in a particular Country.. Majoritarian Electoral System only works well in Countries with only two political parties...it is in this set up that the educated electorates vote in for a 51%/49% balanced system... The establishment of so many political parties vying for power should be dealt a lesson the South Africans showed through the power of the GNU SPIRITUALLY INFLUENCED VOTING.even though stolen. National unity government, government of national unity (GNU), or national union government is a broad coalition government consisting of all parties (or all major parties) in the legislature, usually formed during a time of war or other national emergency (and indeed high unemployment,poverty rates should be declared an Economic crisis) A unity government according to the principles of consensus democracy lacks opposition( or opposition parties are too small and negligible) FORMATION OF THE GNU EXECUTIVE coalition government, or coalition cabinet, is a government where political parties enter a power-sharing arrangement of the executive. Coalition governments usually occur when no single party has achieved an absolute majority after an election. A party not having majority is common under proportional representation, but not in nations with majoritarian electoral systems. There are different forms of coalition governments, minority coalitions and surplus majority coalition governments. A surplus majority coalition government controls more than the absolute majority of seats in parliament necessary to have a majority in the government, where as minority coalition governments do not hold the majority of legislative seats. A coalition government might also be created in a time of national difficulty or crisis (for example, during wartime or economic crisis) to give a government the high degree of perceived political legitimacy or collective identity, it can also play a role in diminishing internal political strife. In such times, parties have formed all-party coalitions (national unity governments, grand coalitions). If a coalition collapses, the Prime Minister and cabinet may be ousted by a vote of no confidence, call snap elections, form a new majority coalition, or continue as a minority government. The best GNU Can only be achieved when the power for executive positions is eliminated.. THE PROBLEM Here surfaces the issue of Coalition government, or coalition cabinet, is a government where political parties enter a power-sharing arrangement of the executive. This is one of the reasons complete transformation from majoritarian to GNU fails.. Why...because the Political ideology of having a One Party Majority system still lingers. Only perfect option to perfect GNU...is to immediately do away with the specific laws that were enacted under the majoritarian system.. A balanced parliament is strong enough to advocate for more accountable government. Parties representation in the Executive should be by their ELECTED Vote percentage in a perfect GNU The Parliament of GNU has to work together in parliament by presenting motions that are debated and voted for.. All other important positions like of intelligence..police. defence...judiciary..should be decided for by the vetting and voting of Parliament...With the unexcessive powers vested upon the President.. GNU
You cannot have a government that includes everyone from the far left to the far right. Such a government will agree on nothing and do nothing. In order to have a government, there must be at least _some_ common ground between the parties on which to build on.
If you have an agreement then stick to it. Stop playing politics. DA must watch out. But let's see how Outshoorn works. Let's see how George works. But DA better watch out. I am loosing confidence in them. Just another political party looking after themselves first. FF+ is the same. Mr Mulder is using this platform to make themselves look like saints.
So, when someone plays you, and you come forward to put your side of the story on the table, that is "making yourself look like saints"? Is the FF+ not allowed to defend itself when the DA defraud and defame their coalition partners?
Boring Boring Boring - I have lost faith in the FF as well as the DA - Both just looking at their own power.Something I want to see ,is where is the Referendum for Succession in the Western Cape-Allan Wind gat refuses - So there the the DA lost my Vote to the FF - But nothing is forthcoming!!! So who do I vote for now?????????
If you want to live in a successful and prosperous country where people have jobs , crime is under control and where our country's infrastructure really works, then you should continue supporting the honest and very capable DA. No other political party in SA can match the DA's track record, and that's a fact!
Why wiould you let Tshwane fall. This was suppose to be about saving South Africa not about the politicians.
How? The FF+ said they didn't field a candidate to *not* split votes with the DA to keep to grow the opposition.
There are no adults in the room anymore. Clearly ALL parties just want their seats on the gravy train

Connie Mulder is like Mashaba people dont vote for them now he try to be intelligent but if you watch at the by election this week Mulder dont know what to do They will go the same way as ACSA
People told Mashaba to stop his marriage with the DA and MPC, or they will punish him at the polls,
VF+ is competing with DA for the minority vote!
Why is the FF going against the DA.
DA Arrogance!
Sour grapes bc they lost so much support . FF+ will get into bed with the ANC if given a chance at any power.
Yes, why??? Doesn't make sense at all!
Wrong question. The real question isxwhy did the DA turn on their coalition partners in the Northern Cape.
En so is dit alweer waar ons nie kan saam staan nie. Elkeen wil self kraai op sy ashoop. DA en ander moenie dink ons sien nie die goed raak nie. Almal het nogsteeds ons stem nodig.
This man needs to realize that the ANC will eat him for lunch given the chance. 😂
😂😂
Dr Mulder makes a lot of sense, sadly once again it is politicians making decisions without a thought of the consequences. It is time for the voters to learn for the future.
Mulder is clever and insightful but the future of Freedom Front + is doomed. It's a dying party with more Afrikaner voters going to the DA as default. If they want to win over more people, they need to reform.
The question is to what must they reform? The voter base of the FF Plus also shifts as minority groups seek a rational voice.
Dream on.
FF+ will always be able to hold the ultra-conservative religious right wing 'boers', especially in the north. that is an ageing demographic though
Mulder wants Christian Afrikaner nationalism and Orania style future. Harking back to apartheid.
@@MediaCentre-cy1tf Again, you are slandering. Is the IFP ok?
It's a coalition It's not GNU, DA leader cleared that a long time ago for the slow citizens 😂 cause the rest of us 🇿🇦 knew from get go
Brilliant mind, appreciate the insight, would make a wonderful president!
Politics must be demonitized to save SA!
No salary for politicians because SA can't afford it.
Let volunteers 'represent' the people and fill community positions such as mayor etc.
Then the current WAR to controll the fiscus, will end!
Professional, apolitical, career administrators must serve the citizens in government.
How do we rid our country of these bafoons?
Stop talking nonsense
Who is running the country., My God .,we r u the creek now with all this in fighting...Fightiñg like cats and dogs...I'm appalled... Clare
Talk about the Joker in the pack. This from an individual who opposed constitutional talks pre 1994! How much of the vote did Your party get in the last election?!
The VF+, PA, ACDP, ActionSA and some other conservative/right-wing parties should allign and make a big ‘Republican Alliance’ party and counter especially blk voters who’ve always voted for the left 🤝
No party that excludes black people can ever rule SA.
Best comment here yet ❤
You believe the anc wants to work for the citizens ha ha, next joke.
Hi....the most unsatisfactory program on cyber crime was aired. Pleas can you do another one as we are left hanging in the air
well done Mr Connie Mulder so residents and citizens are concerned about whats happened in local metro
Mulder's tail want to wag the DA's dog.
Rug steekers
I have far more confidence in Dr Corne Mulder than I have in Helen Zille.
Absolutely. She is delusional and dishonest.
Is that sarcasm?
@@MediaCentre-cy1tf No sheep. It is not. Some of us actually are paying attention in whats really going in in politics.
Helen Zille is not a party leader. Compare apples to apples.
@christinefinniss6263 Ofcause she is a leader. She is not _the_ leader, but she is _a_ leader who stand in a powerful position in the party.
Is it just me, or does the Biznews theme song sound like someone is in big trouble?
Please remind this guy his share of the vote 🗳️ I mean 😅
Groenewald does make a difference to its support base.
If the correctional department operates optimal, the criminals will not be released early, money not stolen that much. Therefore, fewer criminals in the communities, better use of taxpayer money, etc. etc.
Kronje must retire. His jealousy for DA is disgusting. FF must join DA. They don't have majority
We will never join that flip flopping self serving principleless party. The FF+ serves to represent the interests of the Afrikaner people, and if it wasn't for us, the DA would've been way further down the Elana Barkhuizen path, leaving us in the political wilderness.
Lol! No thanks. I will never join that self serving flop flopping secular party. I'm quite happy to remain with the FF+, a party that unashamedly represent me even when it is unpopular.
Blacks do not want to vote DA as see them as racist and arrogant, but are keen on a GNU. That means working together. DA needs to learn this. Integrity is needed to defeat MKP/EFF who represent corruption. United you win, divided you fall which the DA is now seeing in local ward elections.
It’s not that it seems. He has and still is doing a good job
Mulder is sober
SA Did not implement GNU Properly...all parties should be involved regardless of what differences ..
It's high time the populace of Africa and even beyond to realise that the Majoritarian Electoral System practised for decades was wrongly implemented...and as a result we have seen wars everywhere..high rates of unemployment and many more related economical hardships. even corruption due to too much ungurded maladministrations .
Too much dissatisfaction can only be addressed by the governments who can be elected to work together in the GNU Electoral systems.
like it is said.the Majoritarian Elecyoral System only works well with the existance of only two parties in a given State or Country..to achieve the scenario of 51%/49% balanced parliamentary setup..The rulling parties that have ruled us have never been perfectly been opposed to create the parliament that can effectively do the (check on the balances) upon the way the Goverment has to run in terms of achieving the principles of consensus democracy. The system whereby we continued for so long with only one party dominating the majority overwhelmingly made us subjected to a type of laises-fair leadership style that also completely excluded the ever minority so called opposition parties in the running of the government..
The current Unemployment , Poverty and other social crises are a result of Having ran the unchecked government and the making of laws that at times, somehow put and placed our past and present Presidents with no choises ...but in precarious circumstances.
The erruption of so many political parties in one Country can not help the continuence of the Majoritarian Electoral System..that should be a forgone concept that will never be achievable regarding 51%/49%...status quo.
The current ongoing 2024 elections in Africa should be taken seriously by the electorates and realise that they can no longer be made not to understand the truth about politics...
The only alternative for The majoritarian electoral system is going for GNU..
GNU eliminates the political concept of OPPOSITION..No opposing as the Parliament work together to debate laws and pass instruments to be executed by the Executive..
In a perfect and fully practiced GNU , ALL elected Political Parties enter into a Power -sharing-- arrangements of the Executive proportionate to their elected vote percentage...and this must include all ,not a coalition of few parties
Africa was colonised by Majoritarian Electoral System and since decolonisation , the system continued to date with dominance of one Majority party totally unopposed for decades..
Such parties made laws giving the presidents unwarranted excessive powers to run the countries as a lone party section, unchecked,unaccountable.
Workable and Achievable Political set up of the Majoritarian system demands only the existence of two Political parties per given state or country to be effectively executed..making a balanced parliamentary system of a ratio 51% / 49%.
This has never worked and the system created the loophole with which the Foreign Policies had upper influence in the way economies of African countries have come to be.
Another back stab,political parties, mostly those advocating for alternatives and have been on the so called opposition bench for so long, they make matters worse by not maintaining the status quo of only Two political parties in a particular Country..
Majoritarian Electoral System only works well in Countries with only two political parties...it is in this set up that the educated electorates vote in for a 51%/49% balanced system...
The establishment of so many political parties vying for power should be dealt a lesson the South Africans showed through the power of the GNU SPIRITUALLY INFLUENCED VOTING.even though stolen.
National unity government, government of national unity (GNU), or national union government is a broad coalition government consisting of all parties (or all major parties) in the legislature, usually formed during a time of war or other national emergency (and indeed high unemployment,poverty rates should be declared an Economic crisis)
A unity government according to the principles of consensus democracy lacks opposition( or opposition parties are too small and negligible)
FORMATION OF THE GNU EXECUTIVE
coalition government, or coalition cabinet, is a government where political parties enter a power-sharing arrangement of the executive. Coalition governments usually occur when no single party has achieved an absolute majority after an election. A party not having majority is common under proportional representation, but not in nations with majoritarian electoral systems.
There are different forms of coalition governments, minority coalitions and surplus majority coalition governments. A surplus majority coalition government controls more than the absolute majority of seats in parliament necessary to have a majority in the government, where as minority coalition governments do not hold the majority of legislative seats.
A coalition government might also be created in a time of national difficulty or crisis (for example, during wartime or economic crisis) to give a government the high degree of perceived political legitimacy or collective identity, it can also play a role in diminishing internal political strife.
In such times, parties have formed all-party coalitions (national unity governments, grand coalitions). If a coalition collapses, the Prime Minister and cabinet may be ousted by a vote of no confidence, call snap elections, form a new majority coalition, or continue as a minority government.
The best GNU Can only be achieved when the power for executive positions is eliminated..
THE PROBLEM
Here surfaces the issue of Coalition government, or coalition cabinet, is a government where political parties enter a power-sharing arrangement of the executive. This is one of the reasons complete transformation from majoritarian to GNU fails..
Why...because the Political ideology of having a One Party Majority system still lingers.
Only perfect option to perfect GNU...is to immediately do away with the specific laws that were enacted under the majoritarian system..
A balanced parliament is strong enough to advocate for more accountable government.
Parties representation in the Executive should be by their ELECTED Vote percentage in a perfect GNU
The Parliament of GNU has to work together in parliament by presenting motions that are debated and voted for..
All other important positions like of intelligence..police. defence...judiciary..should be decided for by the vetting and voting of Parliament...With the unexcessive powers vested upon the President..
GNU
You cannot have a government that includes everyone from the far left to the far right. Such a government will agree on nothing and do nothing. In order to have a government, there must be at least _some_ common ground between the parties on which to build on.
Really won’t to hear the DAs side of the story in George ? Def pissed off the ffp
DR kak praat
Totally correct Mr Mulder
Behind you Mr Connie Muller... please fight for S ... Because as sure as nuts in May
...I'm thinking of leaving S A.!it's a S..!show...clare
Zille is power hungry!!! She is the downfall of coal's
If you have an agreement then stick to it. Stop playing politics. DA must watch out. But let's see how Outshoorn works. Let's see how George works. But DA better watch out. I am loosing confidence in them. Just another political party looking after themselves first. FF+ is the same. Mr Mulder is using this platform to make themselves look like saints.
So, when someone plays you, and you come forward to put your side of the story on the table, that is "making yourself look like saints"? Is the FF+ not allowed to defend itself when the DA defraud and defame their coalition partners?
Boring Boring Boring - I have lost faith in the FF as well as the DA - Both just looking at their own power.Something I want to see ,is where is the Referendum for Succession in the Western Cape-Allan Wind gat refuses - So there the the DA lost my Vote to the FF - But nothing is forthcoming!!! So who do I vote for now?????????
If you want to live in a successful and prosperous country where people have jobs , crime is under control and where our country's infrastructure really works, then you should continue supporting the honest and very capable DA.
No other political party in SA can match the DA's track record, and that's a fact!
