      MK'S main wish is to try and manipulate elections outcomes with a view of influencing other antiANC parties to vote with them to oust Ramaphosa so that Zuma can eventually be pardoned. If that can be the case SA voters will punish such parties. Nobody doesn't know what Zuma did in looting the resources of SA. ANC should be careful to not entertain ANC-DA coalition. ANC should make coalition with IFP & other small parties including libetation movements like AZAPO& PAC.

    How do we move forward by not having a non racial society. I’m a Coloured voter. And the only party that is sending more than one coloured to parliament between the big four is the DA. I was turned away from a job not because of qualifications or experience but by requirements of BEE. The only party to have multi cultural people in there cabinet is DA out of the Big 4. Your speech is good but middle class pays for everything and I understand why we need to be focused on the poor but the current tax payer is the one who suffers. We can’t be bailing out anything. If we run this country like a business then we will be able to make the economic progress.

      Fun fact about preferential employment policies such as BEE, it causes any type of business owner to employ less people especially for higher positions.
      If a qualified person does not have the right skin colour and the right complexion of a person is not as qualified ( qualification is a factor in relation to the pool of qualified persons) then the business will simply not hire at all.
      This happened to companies during apartheid as well when they employed non-whites in senior positions, the government said no and they hired less people as a result. Interesting times.

    From the outside looking in as a black person I don’t see the sense in today taking away land and assets from white South Africans. Why hasn’t the ANC focused on programs and policies to truly life more black people out of poverty and support them in entrepreneurial efforts along with giving up government owned land to citizens through various schemes instead of snatching private property from other citizens. SA won’t move forward if policies are still being implemented based on race. You’ve seen how that fails before and repeating it is crazy.

Unfortunately this government is not for the people, it's a buffer between the rich and the masses. Before 1994, Every black person was hard working and had a homestead doing peasant farming.

    In the event of an ANC-DA coalition, I’d be interested to see how COSATU and SACP react what comes of the former tripartite alliance. The ANC has arguably sidelined that faction of the party. Do they split from the ANC? If so where do they go? Probably EFF? Maybe MK? Interesting times.

I think we as a people should take responsibility, we can't have rights but no obligation.

    You do hit the nail on the head that the only salvation for the ANC would be to bury their internal differences and to ensure that they govern well going forward and deliver services to people. The ANCs own governance record is however dismal for a variety of reasons that are common knowledge. From municipalities to provincial to national departments to SOE's they have failed to manage (govern) these institutions well, so the question remains how are they going to turn this around going into a coalition with two parties who have no experience to date in governing anything? On the other hand the DA's governance record is well known. The majority of the municipalities they run and all the provincial departments in the Western Cape annually receive clean audits. They are also by all metrics able to provide a better level of service to communities. If you were the ANC and you had to turn your own governance and delivery around to save your party, who would want to work with - the EFF/MK or the DA? I know who I will choose despite the risks associated with it which you have correctly highlighted.

    What an exceptional analysis. Incredible to see the discussion young South Africans are undertaking.
    Just a thought... we talk about spatial inequality and lower class poverty that governments in many major cities, including Cape Town have struggled with. But arguably, the WC is governed better than other provinces already under the DA. With that in mind, does an ANC-DA coalition not close the previous gap between National and provincial legislatures? Could this connection not be what was missing and assist in developing and implementing policies that actually change the current narrative? Perhaps you can explore if such change could occur?

    I hear u Sizwe. Well articulated options.My two- pence input here. We have seen how these coalitions failed at local level. Now National is faced with this. We know that Coalitions are not just about horse- trading (" if u give me this , then I will give u that")
    Beyond forming coalition 's
    National is faced with governing a multi -party democracy/ govt of national unity with minimum experience. This is where the rubber hits the road. The secret coalition e.g. of ANC/ DNA or any other formation with no transparency for citizens who voted is futile.
    There should be conditions for establishing a Government of national unity.
    Ideally,for good governance
    it would require a transparent
    coordinated effort through a national dialogue with representation of at least the following constituencies:
    1. At least top 6/7 parties (but would recommend representation of leads of smaller parties too)
    2. Civil society representation who gave the mandate.
    3. Business
    4. Academic
    5. Faith based Organisations (e.g.SACC)
    5.Traditional leaders
    6.NGO's
    To determine, how much of what by whom and by when.
