- With the Government of National Unity having been in power for over two months already, BizNews asked Dr. Ina Gouws of the Department of Political Studies and Governance at Free State University for her impressions. She dissects the early achievements of the GNU as well as the coalition chaos at provincial and municipal level. She doesn’t think there's “a better strategist” than Vice President Paul Mashatile “in terms of moving himself and manoeuvring himself into certain positions and being able to find himself in the right place at the right time for his own sake.” Analysing the defection of Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) deputy president Floyd Shivambu to MK were he is now the National Organiser, she says” “His hatred that he displayed in Parliament of Jacob Zuma and what he's done seemingly disappeared at a moment where opportunity was given to him to maybe take up that position. And maybe he has ambitions to one day lead MK or lead this grand leftist progressive coalition to challenge the Government of National Unity…” Meanwhile, she feels it is just a matter of time before the African National Congress (ANC) “reigns in” the GNU-defiant Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi. As for Herman Mashaba’s ActionSA getting into bed with the ANC in Joburg, she comments: “What they are willing to do on local level and willing to tolerate and willing to protect even for seemingly the sake of just keeping the DA out…”

Mashaba has become another thorn in the side. He should think of the people of SA, not his vanity.
I think this lady might have missed something, in Oudshoorn the DA wanted the municipality to fork out cash for developers of a property, which would ultimately fall on the tax payer, the FF+ was against this and said the developer should fork out the cash. To me that sounds like putting the citizens first.
3xactly. She exposed herself as being either incompetently ignorant or willfully biassed.
Never make develepment difficult...that tax would not have killed the goose...
@@Phillip-oo2ft So, its ok when the DA misappropriate funds? That is a lot of money for a small town.
Herman you are now losing your marbles, youre jealous about john and the gnu. Sour sour grapes taste the worst. Lesufi is unruly and anc will die off like eff and mk
In just two months, there has been a dramatic improvement in political engagement. However, South Africans remain in the dark due to a glaring lack of transparency.
GNU for me it's promising even most of my black folks are against it but i think this a better solution to run the country in the long run because now powers of government are stripped and now that it will everyone a chance to run and also accountability is going to be clear........at least Ramaphosa has made a good decision.....imagine if they would have agreed with eff and mk now the rand was going to float on 50 rand against the dollar now it's going down
Are you benefiting from ZAR?
What was usd/zar from 2009 to 2017?

Listen to CITISEN CONCERNED. The lady is doing good reporting.❤❤😊😊
😂😂😅Does anyone still watch that coconut?
She sharp and is well spoken and straight love her program ❤
@@biko8229 She is smart, she understand how the world works. If you dismiss her because of the way she thinks, then you have no future. If being rational is "white-think", then you doom yourself to poverty.
I have ever believed or trusted Herman Mashaba to keep his word or that he had the interests of SA at heart.... Herman is only concerned about Herman... 🤷♀️
Can you please elaborate
Lol in my view Herman does not owe WMC and its puppets any loyalty.
Where is the moonshot pact?
He is a turncoat
Good afternoon Chris Good show as usual Please keep up the good work My favourite time of the day
ActionSA and the FF should back off, their ego's have come into play.
The DA treat their alliance partners with disrespect, they unfortunately have some gangster ways in their DNA.
Flip flop floyd is like flip flop juju
At least he went to school, unlike the semi-literate matric boy Steenhuisen😂
The question is why did some DA members not vote for their own mayoral candidate in Johannesburg?
I have watched Oudtshoorn fail under ANC and DA as well as independent influence. It's already above it's sustainable level so it's not a place for power politics. Fair distribution of service delivery will always win.
Can you imagine Floyd marrying Zuma's daughter? "These are my principles. If you do no like them, I have plenty more where they came from!"
Uyanya wena....
@@sphiwedlamini5592 Not at all ... a very clever move but people have to get their mind around it! Elites have being doing this for millennia. This is how the great powers were built, No one is mentioning this but one can see it as strong possibility. Players at this level are transactional and not emotional. That is why Floyd is leaving Julius in the dust..... Julius cannot make this mental leap.
The gnu are working super hard something the anc would never do. If eff and mk were in parliament under mashatile it will be dreadful they are selfish egotistical and communist. Totally unhealthy for any country. I love the Gnu and Ff plus, and Pa. I pray God protects our land and our people. Does action sa knia that tshwane are working well, why interfere. Cilliers brink is a hard working man. Herman hates John thats the bottom line. His hatred and bitterness is spilling over causing him to lose his sense of reason. Hermam needs to fight only for joburg and leave tshwane
If the system hates you it will do so until you die.
Always thought Herman Mashaba was just a bottom-feeder. Such a boring little man who will run with the hares and hunt with the hounds in the service of his outsized ego. Proved it when he was the DA mayor - utterly untrustworthy
Sooooo., does this mean... NO SERVICE, NO MORE RATES and TAXES?
FFS! 🙄
Toilet latrines in Western Cape is not something to be proud of. Its a shame.
"You dont hear 'they did this, and its bad for the town'" - Excuse me? Under what rock did this woman crawl out from? Just in that one sentence, she exposed herself as being either ignorant or biased. The FF+ have done _exactly_ that, its been the narrative right from the start. They were abundantly clear about the bad faith actions of the DA mayors and how it is bad for the town. How can she now come and say otherwise?
DA started the power game by excluding and criticizing the smaller parties saying that they are the be all and end all. Action SA is simply playing the same power game and will in the process probably win some centralist ANC members instead of black DA supporters. Until a true black lead central party starts growing both DA and ANC will decline. The result will be people of action instead of political parties will ultimately group together to govern. Gauteng must decline more before it can rise again. Without the power of gold to maintain a naturally unsustainable city, it's recovery will be more controlled. New sustainabile cities will arise going forward.
I don't think DA is playing a power game... they are the 2nd biggest party in the country FACT!! Why should they beholden to these smaller players!
Lesufi is no great intellect. He does not do what he does out of moral conviction or deep foresight. In short he's just an ideological dinosaur. He will certainly at some point go down.
Lesufi only does things things that will benefit him
...yeah they want only the POWA !!
Sometimes I don't understand words like GNU
Government of Neoliberal Unity.
It's sure to cost ANC even more votes going into the future.
Mkparty is less than a year old. For now we must congratulate them if we are not politically Naive. The ANC is not dented, the DA acquired National presence. It is up to these 2 partie to DELIVER SERVICE and not waste time talking about the Official Opposition. The FFPis delivering, we must congratulate them😂.
If the DA and the ANC waste time Mourning, the will loose LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS. VOTERS are WATCHING 😢
❤
Lol is this a political anylist or a DA cheerleader 🤔 😅
DA podcast
GNU excuses have started already
Is it because of all the fraud and corruption from ANC coming forward. Disgusting!!
This is by far one of the most uninformed guests I have ever listened to on Biznews, shem she sounds like a paid propagandist for DA
VF plus is petty
Nope. The FF did the right thing. The DA was petty. If the DA act like the ANC, and use public money to cover the expenses of a private contractor, then the FF should absolutely speak out against it.
..and now they must $#^@!!. the other innocent as well????
No... FF+..lost many many votes....not towards anc..not towards PA...but towards the DA...
..and now alll municipalities they can hurt the DA..they want to hurt.
Mk can fixe this country
😂😂😂😂
