Am voting the EFF for the first time
Only fools and Qweres vote for the EFF. Those who love what's going on in Zimbabwe, JHB and Durban vote for the EFF. EFF got all their policies from Zimbabwe
I will vote for the party that willing to change the system that is not working for us and I believe SA deserve a new leadership that will change people's lives change the nation in future generations to come and a party speaks unity and peace and working together to be united the nation of SA ❤
Great perspective. I need the EFF to become the official opposition, I need them to get at least 20% of votes.
The challenge is that our people do not understand the power they have with their votes, they want to vote for the ANC or nothing while the are other parties like the EFF😉, who assist with their challenges and goals.
a vote for the EFF is a vote for economic destruction :(
No local business support the EFF. No jobs can be possible without local business support. Only fools and qwere Qweres vote for the EFF
True, and it is so sad ☹
South Africans are NOT that mad
Only fools and qwere Qweres vote for the EFF
This is the beginning of a beautiful chapter. I wish more South Africans can form these constituencies and give their votes to individuals or parties so that we can have more power to hold politicians accountable. I love the direction Abahlali BaseMjondolo took. Thanks for the presentation.
Now this is Voter education ! big ups to Tessa and the team.
I especially appreciate the section about protest in voting and how we can show dissatisfaction in ways that have material impacts... to show up and vote against the party we do not want rather than staying home or spoiling ballots. A very powerful message that should be better known!
I have never thought so clearly about voting before... you are absolutely brilliant!
Thanks for watching! 😄
Let's all lend our votes to EFF for an outright win. We seriously need change.
Yes
Why? What about my party?
@@user-rg8ld1ty3hwhich one is your party?
Strategy of the vote....interesting perspective, specially the idea of voting for your "opponent" to hold them accountable. I think Dr Umar Johnson also proposes the same idea in the USA where American Africans are a minority, he make the point of voting as a block (union) for a candidate that will among another things they do in office, is to push your agenda.
My former Sociology lecturer at the University of Johannesburg
Am voting EFF
The problem I find hear in KZN is that people don't really care about what they are voting for they more focused on who they are voting for... so it becomes difficult to even start talking about it because most of the people perspectives are not wide but very narrow. ... tribalism is also a problem this side
You know nothing about KZN people, tge most politically educated province in the whole country, we not sheep tyat will go someone that we don't know, we have our own leadership structure, from King, chiefs, warriors, fathers, we still have a structure, do your own thing, we do ours and stop with your winning
We voted for malema in a previous election we still going to Vote EFF so.e of you must Vote Mk 🗳 than we can move forward. Malema use to go direct to the company to fight for workers right.and especially the EFF policy ❤
Wow, Tessa.
This is beautiful information you've just given us here on the people's platform. Those with ears have heard you loudly and clearly. Voters need to emphasis accountability rather than love for political parties. And indeed love don't always brings accountability,it brings with it corruption and Keith man ship.
Tessa is so intelligent; I always walk out of your episodes having gained a different perspective! Tessa is that South African we all should strive to be! You are just dope mahn!
Also voting eff
Absolutely excellent.. thank you .. This should be central to Voter Education. The first real clear assessment I’ve seen or heard ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for this channel. Thank you for your great explanation and teaching on this important subject. I agree. I will welcome coalition’s.
If EFF can become the official opposition I will be so happy because the future will be so bright a young party becoming an official opposition in just few years will be a dramatic change in our political environment
You are so eloquent in your narration/explanation.....I'm voting for the EFF.....❤❤
I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Interesting perspective. Its more than just an "X"
I love abahlali basemjodolo, we want more abhahlali basemjodolo in South africa in this time. Viva EFF
❤ EFF all the way. Vote the EFF on ballot 🗳️ 1, 2 & 3 👏🏽🎉
😢🤔VOTE EFF OUTRIGHT 2024 ❤
No local business support the EFF, no jobs are possible without local business support. Mazoti and shack dwellers are not the people who build South Africa.
Only fools and qwere Qweres vote for the EFF
Eff needs to held accountable for VBS...case closed
Really astute discussion here. 👍👍
This is the best way to think about and go about voting when the time comes 🙂
As if it’s a beauty contest!😂😂
She’s actually so right he about how people vote. This is a very useful video thanks. All voters needs to see this. Cause now there’s very little thinking going into who we vote for.
Talking about undecided people I'm one of them. I'm so frustrated by this country current state. It clouding my judgements I just want to do not want anything that has to do with election day
You are a chosen one 👏👏👏👏👏
Yoh damn you brilliant... I pause and reflect in various segments! I really wish that this was accessible to every South African, but we will get there... we will work the ground when digital means presents (structural) limitations! But yall are doing important work for country!!! Amandla!
Creating many parties can not change any things even is going to be more problems
I wish South Africa can have 6 to 10 parties, that could make SA work.
Ordinarily in other countries like USA, parties form voting groups like MPC, they vote according to those groups, hence we know The Democrats and The Republicans, their government administration move only between those two because they represent the other parties.
Soooo in South Africa you can have the corrupt grouping of EFF, COPE, ATM, MK, PAC and then you have ANC, GOOD, Al Jamah, the third will be a group of DA, IFP, ActionSA, Rise Mzanzi, FF Plus.
Power talk With a lot of substance . I wish some one could print out this talk and distribute it to each voter to help educate them , that will make a huge difference . Great stuff - I am EFF ,their actions corollate 365 days a year to their promises .
Greater channel, guys. Kudos!
When you do not knew you sickness you will keeps buying wrong medicine and you will not getwill .
So when the EFF gave their vote to DA in parly could be explained as voting against the ANC as opposed to voting for/with DA? This is what the EFF leaders try to explain each time but the noises drown this logic each time.
It's because most people donot understand EFF'S logical move to team up with big parties to balance up what exactly are the needs of the electorate. As long as those who hold the public purse for corruption are fully denied another chance to defraud citizens.
i like the way you hihglighting this ppl who are in the darkness who oppose everything SA Should go and vote they should not hide them self about pointing fingers
This endorsement is thee best tactical move to come from a social movement that locates itself in the struggle for the landless people. The AFF should be the unifying force in these elections to ensure all black political parties on the Left, unions and social movements consolidate as one voting block. Thanks to ABM for showing foresight and leadership.
You opened my view
Interesting approach. Show up and vote people!
💯 aligned Tessa. Spot on. I am hoping to write a smallanyana piece on this based on the many questions I’ve been getting even from very engaged people re;who to vote for, and like a typical consultant, I thought of 3 points (more like 4) that should guide the voter ~ most of which you’ve mentioned: (i) The idea of the society we ought to be / seek to create, which speaks to the values and the ethical fabric of society ~ so, ideology matters and says a lot about the rest that the party offers; (ii) To your point, ideology is not enough, you need to see the party’s programme of action ~ this speaks to the policy issues you’ve mentioned ~ I would however add that it’s important to also assess the achievability/believability of what is promised ~ exercising common sense + any evidence (where possible); (iii) The people you are voting for ~ the character/stature, their energy and commitment (political will) to act according to what is promised, and ofcourse, track record of delivery (where this does not exist in the public sphere as yet, in other spheres where they’ve led). This would be my 2 cents to what is an epic delivery 👌🏾 of how to dislodge power from concentrated interests back to the citizens/electorate ✊🏾.
Tessa was on fire here and she's right we ought to start thinking in this way of saying we're lending our votes to certain political party because in that way politicians will respect us and deliver to their promises ❤❤

Ayeye! 🔥
Damn you are sooooooo goooood! I love how clear and concise you articulated your motives and reasoning behind your voting decision🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
EFF ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Amazing content 🙏🏽
First time am seeing you on the SMWX channel, very articulate, i will vote for the party/person you'll advise me,,,,😅😅😅
She is one of the foremost young intellectuals in the country. She was a commissioner in the National Planning Commission and the youngest person there among a group of brilliant intellectuals which was chaired by Trevor Manual and Deputy Chaired by the current president of South Africa. I was a researcher at the Eastern Cape Planning Commission at the time and couldn't believe that she was a commissioner. I've always been impressed with her social and political commentary long before I even knew of Sizwe and other guys like Jammy. Theirs is a group of very conscious and politically alive group of young people. Sizwe did well by bringing her here.
yes, i'm voting for EFF forever no matter what!!
Hahahahaha...oh shem🤣
I am also voting for eff it's my choice no mickey mouse 🙃 will ever change my mind I know what I am looking for in the party land ❤
Very informative well spoken
Tessa is a great thinker. Do you have short videos from Tick Tock about this content
Thanks Tessa for highlighting how important it is to apply critical thinking to our voting choice. We are entering an interesting period. South Africans are slowly waking up to their true power. The uncertain outcome of the upcoming election is a good thing for all concerned, most notably the current ruling party.
Tessa we love you. We dont care if people says SMWX has a strong EFF ❤❤❤ alignment or pushing an EFF agenda or Propaganda.
The EFF has always been a step child to SA media, when some forward thinking media commentators act impulsive,
Than they are viewed Pro EFF.
Ayeye ✨✨spread the fire
They gave DA a chance,surely DA failed. i am also voted DA and i am joining them and i encourage all oppressed and undermined majority to join forces.Viva EFF❤❤❤❤
In south Africa no choose people have to vote in groups to one party 😅😅😅😅😅
Hi Tessa, this is a Masters Thesis argument, consider it for more qualifications
Where's the school juli Ass said he would build in 2019.? He himself said if we as a party haven't build this school then don't vote for us in 2024.
You offer some good content but there could also be huge kick backs.. when groups like this offer their vote.. it's hard to say what the agenda is🤔
I think maybe you can chatter a way for the citizens of our country to have an organization that hold the peoples chatter before any elections
Change did not come with many parties Change come if you really knew want is the problem and what is the solution
The problem is the Multi Party system .. and the constitution that has given the majority parties too much power. The SYSTEM needs to change for the majority population to regain there dignity and to end suffering.
If you think abahlali will dictate to Eff decisions going forward. Keep dreaming.
They are technical wrong they just going with the flow nje. They are hoping to get mileage, especially KZN legislation.
That's your ubjectuve perspective. EFF always makes commitments. EFF never made a commitment which it never fulfilled.
My first thought was who???
I believe every youth should just vote for EFF voting for anc because your father or uncle was anc is out
I will vote for EFF
What are we going to do with our x??? 🤣🤣
I’m voting EFF
Dectshipp and no democracy to choose the group will tell you to vote for this party 😅
Mxhim
Is she the wife of Sizwe🎉😂❤
On behalf of Ugandans, kindly SA vote EFF.
I book my ticket to witness the swearing in of juju
Stay right where you are Uganda needs you there🙄SA will never have O'Juju as our President😎
She can form one party out of 20 parties
all these people saying they voting eff 🙈 the 30% pass rate is showing ..
did you all forget that juju said that eff is Jesus? and did you forget that he is promoting poverty and promiscuity by saying "don't be lazy, make babies because I will increase child grant"
Haibo😮😢
But who else talks to abahlali issues of land ownership, jobs, free education and dignity?.
Who funds the Rivonia Circle?
But defusing power leads to one certain party get more more votes
Nonsense 😅
Yet someone said the people of Zulu land vote on tribal lines.
You can have million parties it can not change any thing ttill you knew the really problem 😅
💯 well said
In your opinion what would you say the problem is?
Even if EFF is not your choice the group of people will. forces you to vote for EFF
The group of people you are referring to has chosen as a anonymously to vote as a block. Think about it in an ANC manner, they know they already have a constituency in the COSATU members since they are alliance partners. Does it make sense now?
Disgraceful but as long as the votes don't go to the anc
Change comes if you not the can identify the problem and have solutions the call Change ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Many can be disaster specially if you do not no the causes of problems and the solution 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
😅😅😅you can have all south Africa have parties but it will not makes difference or change 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
How sure are they tht all their members are going to vote eff.bcz others can stl go and vote for other parties of their choice.so it's not a collective decision bt individual one
I don't really know what you're trying to say in this vid, but at 2:36 - that's not how US elections work 😮💨
Why are you only talking for eff?🤔
EFF makes sense land for our people dignity
Obvious EFF is the only party that's gonna save South Africans from Phala Phala and Mbalula
Eff is the only party championing for land the rest 😴 😒
The EFF will own the land though, not you.😂 Just like how the anc owns Eskom. The only thing you’ll be getting is more poverty.
@@venge5665 Lucifers followers👹👺😈..

Over 70% of land in KwaZulu Natal is owned by blacks, can't get the agricultural farming on the go, why they get rain and sunshine fertile grounds so why so laim in your mental capacity.
Vote Mk party you will see
What are we going to see?
@@MrsLekker change in south africa
@@NkosyBhengu what kind of "change"?
This people don't just decide to vote for a political party for no expectations. What is the agreement between EFF and Abahlali?
You can have every south Africa will have parties but in the end is just useless 😅😅😅no solution.
So tell me, how exactly are you going to create jobs? Our current unemployment rate at 32%? Loadshedding is a thing of the past. Aquisition of land, expropriation without compensation? Yeah, vote for this party. Remember, who sponsors this party, and where do their leaders originate from.
as if Ramaphosa is pure south African and anc are sponsoring themselves
A thing of the past you must be joking, loadshedding has done a lot of 💔 to this country. The employment tou are talking about is one of the major factor. I know what the manifesto of the eff is saying on how are they going to create jobs. Visit your party's manifesto and read it carefully 35:53

yho wasting their votes.toEFF.........votela president of foregners.....king of foregners
No democracy no freedom of choose you party group of people will tell you to. Vote to EFF
I dont have a problem with J he is a nice man ..but the spirit he carries is bad ...if he has a good spirit he will neva cause division .. like turning blacks against whites snd blacks against indians ..his speeches is always blacks dont have its because of whites ..a person that wants to b president should neva cause division....tgats one of my points a person tgat carries a good spirit..will think before he speaks .am i giong to cause division .am i giong to cause hatred..and so on ..
If you are black, dark skinned or brown colored, you will vote for the eff because their policies speak to those people, because the other group of people (pink, red and blush, maybe yellow red) does not belong anywhere in afrika.
I personally don't fully agree with the freedom charter on "south africa belonging to red and black" but the eff makes us overstand that peace and economic freedom is a crucial step towards Complete freedom from the Oppressor. because shem, we are being oppressed in all sectors of life.
Much Love
"whites only" says hi
No local business support the EFF with money . How can EFF create jobs with no support from local businesses?
You want land? You want to be a millionaire? Go Zimbabwe or vote for the EFF

😭😭😭
South africa is dectshipp County people do not have freedom to choose black leaders will tell them to vote here 😅😅😅😅
Tessa has a very strange idea of democracy. This is why she doesnt have much of an idea of the US electoral system... Liek she says, its vote and then the winner becomes president. Im sure she lived there and studied the process for a long time... I wonder why she hasnt helped those poor Amercians. How clueless people are allowed to talk to the public is a clear indication of the decline of the collective intelligence of today's society
She belongs to both groups, black and red, so try to understand where she comes from, which is why she wants both groups to govern.
@@miehleketokwinika6060 Agree. I have seen her socialist tendencies on X as well. The handout force is strong in this one
@@AndrewMcFarlane_1 Exactly
South africa is not democracy country people do not have chosen the groups will tell them the all votes for EFF 😅😅😅😅
What are you trying to say, sir/madam?
Confused 🫤
I think you're missing the point 😂 this shows how powerful our democracy is since a group of people have united and submitted their problems collectively in order to force politicians to take them seriously since they know their seats in power lies in pleasing this consistency of normal people instead of only doing what their funders ask them to
Dectshipp country no democracy no freedom of chosen you vote group of people will force you to vote for EFF
Huh?
this idea is batter than coalitions
EFF, MK & ANC are all cut from the same cloth! Vote to #rescueSA 🇿🇦🙏
DA cut from Apartheid..never trust a white person with your vote..black for blacks that works for us, allow us to be failed by our own blacks.
Maybe you can tell us from which cut of the cloth you identify yourself with than maybe we can take it from there
@francispheto she means Black 🤔
eff mk anc coalition wouldn't be so bad as one can think ...EFF can solely be accountable for Nationalisation , MK's responsibility being expropriation of land without compensation and ANC being more focused on the creation of jobs and the abolishment of tenders ... but yeah there maybe some disadvantages
And burn the South African flag, that people died for, you hate unity.
Dectshipp country under ANC now group of people focusing people to vote for EFF event if EFF is not your chooses 😅😅😅
