Will certainly do.
The thing which cause bloated parliament is because ANC want to satisfy their members by giving them position
Spot on..
To blame citizens for a bloated govt, according to Tshaveni, is very condescending.
That one is very rude and arrogant. She's always bitter towards SAns.
Shes typical of why the anc got punished at ballot.
Until you get to pay their salaries, of course... Not to mention the other ways the money should be spent
But if you consider that only 27 million citizens registered to vote and then only 12 million ended up voting, I can understand the narrative. And then whats worse to know is that eligible voters in South Africa are actually 42 million. đź
â@@lineo5612I think too many people thought there was no way to get the ANC out.
â@@sharontarin1310and now we are slowly but surely voting them out they've been so arrogant for soooo long and we thought them a lesson
There's no other way to say this Sizwe...this bloated cabinet...sijwayelwa kabi here! Patronage is more important than getting the job done!
Thank you for your observation of the irregular behaviour of the ANC in Gauteng.
Why 2 deputies in first place
Ramaphosa wait to accommodate factions in Anc and its alliance partners.
Because we voted for too many parties đ
Ramaphosa can't afford to shut the door to some who knows his skeletons.
@@p-manwecho8395 đnot a good answer, we didnât vote for Ministers and deputy ministers, we voted parties and the numbers do not have to increase because percentages were spread out and the numbers the ANC lost as a result should result in fewer ANC cadres, not more and definitely not the same! If cabinet had 30 people because ANC had 100% for example, and they now have 50% then logically they should have 15 ministers!
@@Mntungwa77 I am being sarcastic my guy lol. You're spot on. It's sickening that the media is not going full force on Cereal with regard to this
Politics is not for the people, it's self interest period.
Politics is business and business is politics Jah MH đ€đ€ yeah it's like that yepđ
Politics has always been a question of self-nterest for those elected, even if it clearly contradicts their promises.
Politics had never been a question of self-interest for those not elected, who keep on hammering on promises.
Not only abiut their own promises, but also on those supposedly made by the othere candidstes.
As such, the process becomes one of navel gazing and complaints. Notring new under the sun.
I must say it is very clear that it is the ANC that is not honoring the Statement of Intent and is doing shady things in Gauteng. The statement is very clear on how to work and behave.
Two Deputies in the Police Department is just surprising. I am wondering how it is going to work??? Is one going to deal with policing while one deals with Administration or what??? Be rest assured the CABINET WILL LEAK FOR DAYS.
We can afford two when police officers deliver your case number, four in a car because there are no cars?
Excellent journalism has the holy triimvirate as we educated some back in the day. ..logic, critical thinking and ethics... Thank you for keeping this alive beyond the aged broadcasters that have failed us. đ»
If there is constitution in South Africa ramaphosa would be behind bars few years back for phala phala. Time to be fooled by state is over
Anc really went in bad faith with DA...period
the most liked comment on the video is the only one Sizwe ignores and doesn't "Heart" His anti DA bias has always been clear.
@@erickdavid2412 Agree. He really doesn't provide an unbiased commentary when it comes to the DA. Mr Walsh with his white surname đ€Ł
â@@astartes2489 Yeah he has strong incentive to be against the DA due to his father(Adv Dali Mpofu ) having been a prominent figure in both the ANC and EFF. He is very quick to talk about Gouws but not Andile Mngxitama (because that one must have context and the other not lol)
Let's go DA, let's go, all the way!!
Yes is his gf black?đ
Sizwe you are indeed a good narrater,you resseble your father.â€â€â€
NO, NO, NO, It is ONLY the ANC who is playing SILLY BUGGERS!!!!!!!
Let's go Helen, let's go, all the way!!
What happened in KZN was it democratic? does DA deserve the seats they got in KZN ? What about the party that got the majority there...?
They snubbed everyone and then got left behind.
The problem is that MK didn't get 50%. Then it would have been automatic rule by MK. Same as in the Western Cape where the DA got a majority above 50% and run that province.
The mk said it wouldn't work with a ramapoosa anc... do you not watch the news
DA's Hellen Zille said dont you ever let those dogs( MK & EFF ) be in power in KZN. What rubbish is that
Anyway IFP is sulking to the DA period
A very good & colossal colloquium and good strutinity of your perspectives on this meeting. Thank You Dr. Mpofu.đđ
Very interesting Hlope conundrum. Thank you for your channel.
Ethics can also be questioned. Especially since we live in a country that believed that it was unethical or illegal to have multiracial relationships. By this I mean, what if the judicial is unethical. How can we probe that because the judicial in South Africa can't be probed? No one can dare touch it.
I see the signature beautiful African cloth /rug is back, love it for us..... We appreciate ur work always Sizwe, Nananaâïž
đđœ
sizwe you are a masterđ
Biasness noted. Performance taking off ,will determine this GNU's excellence , in working united and not divided.
Great thought and understanding created Dr Sizwe MW on your platform.
Always sharing SMWX ayeye.
What kind of constitution allows the president powers to expand the cabinet more over economic development rates. Cabinet expenditure is allowed to be liabilities to the economic rate & be called government. So what constitutes to be the government? Waist full or economical!
If you ask me, that's because the DA value their constituents and keeping them aware is important. I don't think it's fair to make that a negative thing. Sadly ANC hasn't delivered for the last 30 years. What will change?
Sizwe we are following...thank you for the analysis and picking up our brains....We seat and watch them work it through...the blame game is gonna happen more as time goes on...that's the difficulties of putting together in one pot parties that are so ideologically diverse. It's gonna be very tough to progress at the swift pace that's needed in order to address the needs of the masses of this country...mhhhh re Dr Hlophe honestly speaking his impeachment was politically motivated and it's used as a weapon to discredit him...can you imagine he is one of the most qualified judge in this country....but yet again markets are the one who decides already they have their so called biased civil organisations lobbying against Dr Hlophe...WOW I have no more words it makes me sic...
Thankyou Dr Mpofu I'm actually flagabasted by the fact that there are people i see iye to iye with in this issue of voters purported to be the ones who made a decision about these unfolding cabinet processes it's really a falasy that we the voters have made the GNU decision this is so ridiculous and annoying đą
Gauteng is on the right track.Keep it up Panyaza Lesufi
Some ministers have been out-Lesufying Lesufi in the past few days.
Excellent summary thank you
D. A supposed to be treated with great respect afterall the the second best in Gauting wih majority votes . The people spoke voted and have full faith in the DA .Theres no 2 ways about it They are also transplant and some haters dislike them because they work in faith and never believe in corruptiom like some other parties .The truth matters but corruption and dictatorship does not matter .Thats the factđđđđđđđđ
MK also in KZN
What you know about respect? You belong in the most disrespectful race in SA and here you are talking about respect
Agree absolutely with your analyses - on size of cabinet & deputies, I suggest that we should have a % cost identified & if the number is increased then something in pay/benefits/other expenditure needs to be reduced. In an economy not growing the % cost is important.
Very well articulated as usual Doc.
Your view is spot-on
Well explained Sizwe @19.02
So confusing sometimes đ... Thank you for the update
The largest chunk of Gauteng voters still voted for the ANC. You get the government you deserve and vote for.
This votes were rigged, most of gauteng voted MK and EFF, not ANC nor DA never
@@tsholofelohuma7496 An aspiring black educated person voting for MK and ANC, like a turkey voting for Christmas.
Gauteng teaches us that we have a long way to go. So fragmented
The politics of eff and mk is going to be something to watch
Letâs also remember an impeachment or a charges is very often used by opposition to discredit their opponents. Letâs us never just automatically buy an accusation as a conviction.
Unfortunately people go with popular opinions. They never take the time to understand the story behind and the motives.
Our President is proving people who are saying he canât take decisive decisions right once again
đđđżđŠ #SpreadTheFire â€ïž
Ayeye!
Looove the use and display of the laptop, Dr â€â€đđđ
So true Siswe đcabnit is to bloghted.
We are really gaining a lot.
Joburg is in trouble if this GNU does not work.
Too much going on to keep tabs, thanks for the sum up...#ayeye
People have the rights not to be bullies , haters and dictators and liers ,,đđđđđđđ
I'm so glad to hear the into song at the end for a bit longer. Imnandi!
Thanks I made it myself. đđđœ
@@_SMWX Lovely sound! More of it please!
I agree with the hesitant voices about having an impeached Judge be in a position to interview candidates for the Bench. If you disqualified yourself as fit and proper, how then can you use the test for other candidates
MK. Please spread your wings, open the eyes of those who can not see. Come to the Eastern Cape, most of us are blind. Don't let our country go to the dogs
Vote ing for the MK The province will go to the dogs
Eastern Cape is in tatters, oh yini my province.
@@mossfairy3060 I didn't know that you are a soothsayer.
Cracks in the coalition arrangement? Nooooo! Really? What an insight, what a surprise!!!
21:00 I don't think there's room for consideration of an impeached member of Justice services being able to serve in a similar capacity. "The JSC had found Hlophe guilty of gross misconduct and for improperly attempting to influence Constitutional Court judges Bess Nkabinde and Chris Jafta." This isn't someone you want making decisions that effect the justice system.
That said, appreciate your work and insights!
if MK takes the disruptive stance , i will be the 1st to say . this strategy is sooo 2016
There are two political landscapes in South Africa the physical 1 and the unseen 1 where the master pulls the strings from behind like a puppet show. We find ourselves here simply because the master realised that they no longer have their guy or a successor to their guy in the Anc. once ramaphosa finishes the Anc and his term then the GNU is in pole position to allow the master to remain in a position of power.
ANC will not backdown before the Voters understand what mess the Country is in
Great, a better microphone, much more enjoyable, thank you, appreciated. ( I hear a mechanic sound, I think the mic is picking up the PC resonance, from the desk. You might experiment with a sponge or polystyrene mat, under your PC, but the resonance should be sourced and addressed.
Left to the dogs. This misunderstanding of the Idiom due to the poor understanding of the English language is becoming a huge problem in SA. Come on Sizwe you studied at Oxford please educate your viewers.
He's biased against the DA.
The issue of ethics when it comes to Hlophe must be weighed against the following: Is it ethical to have former apartheid MPs serving in the democratic parliament? Is it ethical that Pres Cr17 continues to serve with a cloud of Phalaphala on his head? Is it ethical that State Capture accused MPs continue to serve as MPs despite the SC findings? Is it ethical that MPs serve in portfolios they have no clue about with some of them having no post matric education? Is it ethical for former convict to serve as an MP? Just asking for a friend.
Perfect points, unfortunately these so called ngo's are very cool with your points but when it is Zuma, MK or any issues affecting the majority of us VERY SILENT
đđ k.â@@motlahadimokobori9914
â@@motlahadimokobori9914and that is the unfortunate truth. It's sad really, what is more heartbreaking is our brothers and sisters who are very lazy to think and simply believe anything and everything that they are fed.
A new government and a new thinking is the way forward for the betterment if our beautiful country we call S Africa.
U always correct and fair Siswe.How nice everybody was like u on earth .Then we wont get dictators haters and bullies .on earth .Then the whole world would be a better place for all đ đ đ đđđđđ
I believe that an impeached Judge can indeed hold the position of a member of Parliament. I also believe that the impeachment was political and biased. Regardless of how one may feel about the positions of the then Judge, it is of no matter. He still should be able to hold a Parliament position.
interesting...
ANC the way they did on minister appointment itâs now showing that it is ZANU PF part 2
There is this statement that I am failing to understand, i ,e (THIS IS WHAT SA WANTED AND VOTED FOR, GNU) I personally disagree with the statement. Not a single South African went to the polling station with the intention of voting for the GNU. Every voter, voted for the party that he or she wanted to win, but unfortunately the outcome of the vote came out the other way, and they chose to form this GNU ,It is what they agreed on, not what us as south African wanted.I personally would prefer re voting, instead of this GNU. MY OPINION
So very true.
So far I have never heard or read about someone who has conducted an objective analysis which helps us to answer the question: WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL SIZE OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN CABINET? A similar question may be asked: Does Gauteng deserve the same number of MECs as Northern Cape? Alternatively, does Tshwane Metro deserve the same number of MMCs as Mangaung Metro?
I am of the view that the fact that neo-liberals advocate for a leaner government and the President promised one does not necessarily make it right. Beware of the Washington Declaration.
Can you also do an analysis on Nuclear Energy, its ipact and consequences and also the difference if any to the 2017 Nuclear deal.
The ANC running Gauteng makes no sense. We're in big trouble.
Unfortunately, proportionality was totally forgotten. DA were only given poor positions in Gauteng. There is no way that they will be able to make a real impact. DA remains a strong opposition party in Gauteng, that is good. No, the ANC cannot govern as they have done previously because they have a minority in Gauteng.
ANC loves spending the tax payer's money.
Let's hope that the ANC don't just get stuck at meetings and aren't able to put their words into action. DA seems to be raring to go!
The 3 positions that the ANC did give out represent about 3% of the budget so truly a waste of time.
I'm not really surprised at what happened as Lesufi is an EFF supprter and hates the DA.
He's going to struggle to run the province and I doubt that he'll see his term out in office.
I believe strongly in the resilience of Africans and our undying devotion to true freedom,let the struggle go on for as long as it must and the struggle continues!,A Luta Continua until freedom is ours!!,we the Pan Africanist push forward!,back to freedom!!,let the Racist DA try all they want!,even with their boy Cyril they will not succeed!,we beat Colonialism and Apartheid!, we will beat this as well âđŸâđŸâđŸAmandla awethu and thatâs a fact!
đȘđȘ
question. why do Black south africans speak so much about "the markets" ad if it's a real thing? great show btw
Maybe because the markets directly affect the way we experience daily costs of living. People are concerned because markets are a real thing. Find a developed country that doesn't take markets seriously, from South America to Asia. Something this populist policy peddling channel won't tell you...
A market is a man made object and there is no way ppl can be held to ransom by market indicators.those who control these markets R a danger to democracy and should be publicly exposed and shamed for deriding the will of the majority.
Yes money is not a real thing! đ Go pay the shop with some sand.
The amount of idiots who think "The Markets" are just for the rich! This is why most of SA is poor. They don't even know what "The markets" is.
@@davycrockett8886 great job missing the. point. carry on smartly
HLOPE BIT THEM WITH QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPIRENCE. HENCE THEY ARE SCARED OF HIM. THEY NEVER LIKED COMPETITION HENCE THEY NEVER WANTED BLACKS TO BE EDUCATED.
The blacks? Whose talking about blacks and whites again, or are you showing us your racism.
Most of the time we could hear Mbalula blaming Mk and votes on their own interests and this is not now what the ANC said about other parties
I doubt Cabinet Lekgotla will harmonise on issues like BELA and the NHI. What are your thoughts on the DA minister of education being political authority to a department whose policy the DA doesnât agree with?
For a start: a. The JSC consists of TWENTYTHREE(23) members. That in and of itself reduces the impact of a vote of any sole member; b. secondly the JSC is by definition an ADVISORY commission to the national government in matters relating to the Judiciary or administration of justice; c. THIRTEEN(13) members of the JSC, interview candidates for judicial posts and makes recommendations for possible appointments. s. and so the opinion of Dr John Hlophe, in case him being selected to participate in these interviews ONLY constitute 1/13th of the COLLECTIVE of interviewers; d. as far as 'dealing with complaints about judges is concerned: well, it's up to the president of the JSC to decide if HE deems it wise to permit Dr. Hlophe in these kinds of deliberations. My final conclusion: VERY MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING!!!
With kippy kersov around - never fear when a newly self appointed savior is around. Just call kippy & he'll pull the chain.
Bro really imitating everything Steve Bartlett đąexpect the politics
Interesting insight though đŻ
Hlophe was politically impeached
Even more so he should be politically excluded.
A government should NOT be about Party Politics. I'm sick and tired of being "ruled" by a one-party government. I have lived all my 78 years under this system. I hope my children and grandchildren can live with a multi-party government. Shared responsibility.
A multi-party government like the current GNU does not represent the majority people we've see in some of the provinces in coalition, how about a two-party system
You enjoy your apartheid tendency but now worried to live with all people đź Australia calling you
Excellent insight and assessment !!
âIt is your fault the cabinet is so huge!â I think Ntshaveni means next time you better not give the ANC anything to ensure you end up with a leaner government.
That is another one that must be removed because she should never been in that position!
Cyril needed to keep his cadre deployees in cabinet. 41 under investigation. Shameful.
SMWX you are very brilliant, being a Judge and Member of Parliament are two different issues, Dr. Hlophe might defeat them, the issue being centred around Human Rights. This issue would have an effect if Dr. HLOPHE were in the Executive. The Commission is build up of several people working together collectively. đđâ€
I do understand you Sizwe but SA constitution works differently for other people . Me myself I there are things that I will be jailed for doing eg there are x amount of other currency that can be allowed in SA . Is tht law applicable to who and when at the end of the day there is a person behind the person who is telling what must happen to who . So disappointed we poor that are getting fed up with
Conspiracy theory... Gauteng have many factions.... The ANC/DA are eliminating the factions. đ
Let's wait and see.
Brinkmanship has been the political strategy that has delivered us to this moment, a 40 year long detour. đ§
What many will call success of this GNU is actually when the status quo of obscene income inequality gets to continue unabated. For that reason, I hate the current political stability. We need an MK/EFF coalition to firm government and disrupt the agenda of white monopoly capital.
The SG of the MK party left because of the jealousy and dangers brewing within the party, he's not going to write these as reasons in the official resignation letter.
The issue of ANC Gauteng not listening to Gauteng Voters been clear that they gave the ANC 30% and they don't want them anymore it's the same analogy in KZN that people are trying to downplay it that it is MKP which is given the mandate but not leading it. For heaven sake MK has 45% but this smaller parties who got less than 18% are the ones leading it
I was also dissapointed in Precidency' minister statement about the bloathed cabinet
Is there an ethical problem with Hlope? đđđđ
A vote of no confiden e in Ramaposa and the ANC continued dysfunction should be brought about.
What about the minister of home affairs since he is a zimbabwean born. How this is going to work
He's not. That was fake news.The man was born in the Northern Cape.
You really need to check your facts. Just as the DA actually FOUGHT apartheid, and is absolutely NOT the "old" apartheid White party, so much false bullĂit out there, and those with little education swallow it as the truth. Leon Schreiber has zero connection with Zimbabwe !
That's fake news proudly brought to you by the ANC smear campaign.
Not a Zimbabwean, go check it was fake news.
Cyril Ramaphosa is not all getting away with Phalaphala, but he is also allowed to bloat the government with the never heard before 2 deputy ministers!!!
Meant Washington Consensus.
DANC is now official
Will the BELA Bill be the 1st test of this unity government. The DA wants the bill withdrawn.A move that has been described as untransformative .Will SADTU allow the removal of the BELA bill.
SADTU is likely going to attract very unnecessary attention as their âgainsâ includes mostly what parents hate the most about SADTU in education.
Great video saw you also on Biznews with Alec Hogg Mr. Walsh I'm from Europe and I don't like the Right Wing Turn Europe in General is taken lately but Yeah DA not happy with ANC in Gauteng at the Moment. ANC & DA working together is a LEARNING CURVE both Parties has to learn to Navigate. Let them Dance
I don't know if it is accurate to say the opposition failed to make a case of how power can be shared, it sounds to me like they did make a very strong case and were just ignored outright.
I think you make a very important point on how identity politics from populist style leadership limits working together if external parties cannot be dominated. Perhaps the era of relying on singular political figures to 'save' the country is coming to an end? I think balancing ego and servanthood in politics is a bloody hard but good pendulum to keep a politicians authenticity in checkđ
If you don't set your goals and tell people about them, how do you achieve anything?
