      THIS IS HALF-TRUE: the root cause of this movie has everything to do with the fact that the ANC failed in AMENDING the CONSTITUTION and advance to elect the president of the republic DIRECTLY IN 2 ROUNDS. Once you've done that almost all the problems disappear like the proverbial snow in the sun: a. the president will have a DIRECT mandate from the electorate; 2. he, for having WON the election has his own party literally towing his line, while jogging for positions in office; 3. he, from a position of electoral strength can invite who HE wants for dinner. I also suggest that SA moves to AMEND the CONSTITUTION to introduce the office of the PRIME-MINISTER. The current prime ministers of the provinces should hence on be called GOVERNORS!

      @@silaskhalishwayo you have a skewed perception. Naturally the majority Of South Africa is black however the ideologies are different. One is Marxism and the others are socialism, communism and free markets and capitalism with a smattering of socialism. Regardless of whether you think the DA is "white" you couldn't be further from the truth. According to stats approx 8% of the population is European so where does the rest of the votes for the DA come from? Riddle me that batman .... Please .... Of course you could come back with some derogative comment such as those who vote for the DA are "coconuts" but of course that is just a very ignorant insult in the hope you attract more blacks to your point of view because "nobody wants to be labeled a coconuts" but there again you have to ask yourself why all the politicians children attend private schools and study overseas as well as the politicians get private medical aid whereas the majority receive poor service in all departments and the hospital is a place where people go to die. Communism .... Some are more equal than others. Ps, did you know that in South Africa there are more black dollar billionaires than European and the black middle class is far far larger than the European middle class? Makes one wonder why you don't research your material before shouting your ignorance on line. My suggestion? Shut up, grow up and stop taking those lies spouted by politicians as to be self evident.

    If the DA walks away from this GNU, is a two can play a game scenario . Never humiliate your partner in negotiations , unless pushed at a corner by your opponents. Open card type of negotiations. Watching this space with anticipation.
    Don't sellout the Trade and Insdustry ministry , a very vital component of the poor. They should cool off and meet each other to move forward , but never display weakness to your opponent. GogoZille is a an obstacle and a thorn in a flesh, she needs to stand aside as she is not the leader of the DA in parliament, but DA have allowed her dominancy and her bulliness to stand on their way. I can see EFF and MK waiting eagerly for the fall out, especially Malema the opportunist. They will eventually find each other again, we need to clean this country of corruption and create jobs. ❤❤

    Indeed SA citizens can replace parties that are party serving while preaching GNU in the media, 5 years is just around the corner we are carefully considering. Perhaps a new legislation giving guidance on the cabinet of the GNU will suffice with the requirements that must be used to make the selection of the said ministers. Coz absolute power by the President also undermines balance of powers bcoz Presidents can also abuse their power as we have seen in the past.
