- The African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa formed a coalition government with right-wing parties after losing their majority for the first time in 30 years. Phakamile Hlubi-Majola, spokesperson for the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA), the biggest labor union in the country, discusses the implications on South Africa's working class as the country faces widespread poverty and inequality.

The negotiate between ANC and DA started long before election
@abubakrmosiea3525 TRUE!
“Israel” asked Palestine: “Palestine, why do the Western governments love me but hate you?” Palestine responded: “Because you are a beautiful lie and I am a painful truth.”
=🇵🇸=…CatSense…=🇮🇪=
what you wrote now is a lie.
Why do pro PALISTINE people lie do much.
Never honest to yourselves.
You guys are a disgrace to ur faith.
Lying is a sin.
Well said. As it has been said "The truth will hurt" We rise tall with 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸
South Africa's resistance to apartheid is morally the ONLY right thing but it has increased the country's brand in the global majority unimaginably and SA is becoming a leader in the world. When SA speaks, even whites in the West also listen. SOFT POWER. By the way, Israel is 10 million, who cares about this country. I can very well imagine that a multi-millionaire from Western Asia, because of SA's position, wants to invest and maybe settle in SA. That's 2 billion Muslims, that's 100 times more than Israel, which has 50 percent of all the energy in the world. There is nothing to gain from this.
This Market is not helping Poor South Africa 🇿🇦
Precisely!
350 is right?
. Just search : Neo feudalism support: Blackrock. DA wants to privatize our essentials. The working class and poor will suffer the most under privatization.
To all foreigners watching this : be warned, this woman is speaking the biggest load of BS....check the facts.
What you just started is Fact number 1. ..pity she so pretty ..😢
An Undercover Blonde ?
😂
You lie!!! DA are racists!
What she is saying is truthful except for DA supporters.
Apartheid spatial planning is a reality in democratic RSA....that is a fact
These people are clowns. the ANC have been a disaster for the working class.
Yes and so is the DA
This girl has lost touch with reality
For the working class, the ANC is bad, the DA worse.
ENCA Brainwashed people are everywhere in this comment section
Apartheid, 60 years of socialism and welfare for the minority white people, has to be the biggest disaster for the SA working class majority.
What good is "minimum wage" and "workers rights" if you dont have jobs 😂
So you prefer slave labour instead?
It a matter of perspective just like we know you can't scare with moving to Australia we you get there you become instant mediocre
Of course you wouldn't know if you were born with a silver spoon, which actually you stole from those who earn the so called "Minimum wage".
@@SizweNzimakwe-is9wj we not moving this is our south africa but you welcome to go anywhere
@@mowntaingoatSouth Africa you created through stealing and don’t tell a South African whose people have been there far longer than you to leave racist
My eyes rolled to the back of my head when that guy (white South African obviously) interviewed on Democracy Now about the election results stated that ANC should make a coalition with the DA, due to the fact that the EFF and MK "have no governing experience".
Well to be fair, MK party leader and criminal Jacob Zuma does have experience looting and destroying the nations public service and infrastructure and selling it off to the Guptas. But please, tell me more about how not wanting a man who ruined the country to be in power is a race thing?
Where DA governed? Jacob Zuma is form president so MK have up hand then DA
@@bonganiinnocent-ub5iz This is another amusing thing the guy overlooks as I assume Zuma’s party is likely filled with former ANC members.
DA hates corruption, is worried about this country going more to the ground. DA works hard and believes all must now work together to rebuild South Africa. They represent building South Africa by sharing power. Stop 🛑 the racist talks.
And we see how well that works out in the WC with the poor being people of color and the rich is majority white with a few people of color, seems like the poor are working for the rich.
@@SpotonwithTP-qz6wq anywhere else in SA where "the poor" are better off?
Yes for white people Black and colored are getting more poorer and poorer.You are selfish
@SpotonwithTP-qz6wq as if the poor is better of in other parts of our country,
If DA hates corruption so much, why is it that all of a sudden they have u-turned on the Phala phala matter. They said that the ANC has abused it's majority in parliament to protect Zuma and Cyryl. The ANC no longer has a majority but the DA says that unless new incriminating evidence is brought they won't consider the matter.
SA win is as BRICS partner!!!
totally!
Are the hosts of this show aware of the South African political scene? They seem ignorant as hell

Precisely!
What a load bull
Ask the lady how she single handedly brought down South Africas national airline carrier SAA 😂😂😂
Not just SAA. It's still ongoing the worst corrupt government o history. The clock is ticking. So the ANC needs to get rid of the DA soonest
That woman should not be called LADY.
She was just the WORST idiot of them all. But still crooked as HELL
There is a point that requires self-criticism, friends in south africa who have relatives (black), vote for the DA, because of CORRUPTION, they think that the Western Cape works better and you can do business. There will always be a right-wing bloc in a population that wants to make money, the state sees. enemy. You have a right to these opinions. The space for DA is the system that the ANC created, you can't win people with words like Blinken talk about spreading democracy, can't eat democracy. That the DA has been able to gain this advantage is the fault of the ANC and Jacob Zuma. You have to pass the basics in a society, if you are an entrepreneur, the conditions must be long-term. Not having new national comprise is bad for the whites.
BUT The international trend is NOT neoliberal DA politics, but NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY, and multipolar control over banks/national natural resources in the form of minerals, oil, etc. Otherwise, the oligarchs will take over democracy. I am most afraid of BRICS, and that the DA is completely in the lap of US imperialism, they want to arrest Putin, South Africa will participate during the BRICS meetings or the DA will make embarrassing statements. We are facing a time when the entire architecture of the financial system is being redrawn, everything requires consensus in BRICS. South Africa has been the driving progressive force in BRICS, for example bringing in Ethiopia. Olof Palme's and Sweden's leading role in fighting imperialism, the Vietnam war and anti-Apaheid business-wise for the Swedish brand, this was a success. South Africa state the criticism of the Zionist entity Israel, hold harsh statements that Israel accepts, theater and practice become nothing. Undermining South Africa as a leader in Africa and the global majority. 10 million in Israel there is NO reason to throw this away. Above all MORAL, some struggles are right, in this case Sweden became and South Africa is STRONGER. Administration's social democracy with technocrats is dangerous, all of a sudden Tony Blair light.
The agreement negotiated in 1993 was a necessary compromise to avoid a civil war, in which the mostly white land and capital-owning class were allowed to retain their privileges in exchange for the ANC gaining political power. 40 years NOTHING happens despite the 2/3 majority. A new settlement must come between the DA and the EFF. Actually, I think that no mines should be owned by foreign companies or individuals in this. South Africa should have an oil fund like in Norway, because the social democratic system distributes the surplus to new investments and eg housing construction. Unfortunately, you have to compromise, you want massive speculation against the currency and paralysis of the system. It is quite reasonable that those with vast land holdings, get a limit in size (hard for me to say the limit), and these are distributed to the region, distributed among mostly poor. There are white and colored poor. Buy self-produced food. Win Win. This is unreasonable, sooner or later the majority turns and it even more radical. I am Swedish, the ANC is what the social democrats in my country were before the 90s, the task of the social democrats is to bring about reformist compromise as sustainable, which establishes democratic socialism. Then MUST put the foot down or it will be administration of neoliberalism. It is NOT GOOD, even catastrophic if a majority of at least 60 percent feel they have not received anything for 30 years. They feel as threatened as the whites in 1993. If you are talking national unity, this is the OPPOSITE.
The ANC seems as inept as the other European social democratic parties. It will never EFF wants, but must have a center of gravity that reflects society.
The ANC don't need more redical policies, they need to reduce and eliminate corruption to start with. And get the power grid in order.
ANC can't do that.
How on earth an shit be asked to become custard?
If you want custard, get it.
Those guys are corrupt to the core.
It's from No1 to the last supply chain is this country
The last thing South Africa needs is all this BS and racism nonsense.
Apartheid is over and South Africa needs to move forward and not wallow in the mistakes of the past.
We're all in this together and we all need to pull together if this place is to work.
Working against each other means we all go down together - seems like a pretty stupid thing to want to do.

This lady of the Union is absolutely talking nonse. DA right wing? Also the EFF and MK chose not to join the GNU even thought they have been invited.
Preach bro...she is smart. .she speaks what she is commissioned to...check her background and field of operation .. Sad really
Is she talking nonsense about Israel, affirmative action and BEE? What nonsense really? The inequality in SA favours you at the expense of blacks. 29 million blacks still live in poverty in south Africa. Thanks to the Stellenbosch (white monopoly capital) controlled DA and ANC.
The DA is a Right wing party, that is a fact.
DA said it would leave the GNU if EFF or MK are invited....And also DA was first to say EFF is enemy number 1....
All the racists are angry at her for telling the truth... Look at this... Just yesterday a Racist DA MP was suspended
Thank you for the interview. It's an accurate picture of how most POC see the DA.
Thry need to open their eyes and stop blind loyalty to people who do not care about them.
DA is the only party with politicians who not aftet power and money.
Please get someone on this show who is aware of what is actually going on in the country and does not have a pipe dream
This woman knows nothing of apartheid and clearly hasn't fought for anything in her lifetime. And we support Israel as long as they do not shout out loud for the annihilation of a religion or country.
You mean White South Africans support Israel, because you both have the same oppressive ideology. Leave us out, we support Palestine.
All racists support DA
So people of colour in the DA(there are many eloquent young ones in the party)and people of colour who voted for the DA are racists??Mmm people like you.call them "sellouts".I wish all of those young people well and perhaps one day one of them will be president of a prosperous,United ,peaceful,crime-free and non-racial South Africa.
@thalentekhuluse2829 yes we see Anc, Mk and Eff are very diverse and non racist. What a joke!
What a joke! Why not ask Chris Pappas from the DA for a interview, so you can get both sides of the coin and make up your mind for yourself!
you really love your moffie ..lol
Jokes on you! She's analyzing what is happening... If they called Papas... A DA leader... It would have been one sided propaganda. This lady here is telling the truth
Chris Pappas is the 2nd DA "Obamafication" project that has failed. The 1st was Maimane. These projects don't work outside of the US. Look at what a shambles the Tories are in with Sunak. They stand to be reduced to 50 seats out of 600 in the coming elections.
In KZN Chris Pappas successfully managed to get back the white votes the DA lost to FF+ in 2019. That's it. The ANC black vote in KZN went to MK.

DA not really right wing in the true sense of the word. They are more to the middle. There is too much pressure in the DA and in the country for them to be completely right wing. The DA also lean more to the West as far as our foreign policy is concern, however the ANC made it clear that they will not change their foreign policy. I am not a DA supporter but I think we need the DA in our country for a number of reasons. I was hoping for this election results because we now stand a better chance to make SA great again.
What are you smoking??
Wow great again when again was South Africa great.
It's when South Africa was great during apartheid?
South Africa great again?😂 when was that ever the case? Also how is the DA, which is a nest of closet racists, anti redres, anti transformation, genocide supporting, neo nazi supporting, market capitalist 'lets privatize everything including the air we breath' party going to make SA "great again"?😂 man lay off the crack pls

My view there is no way we will ever ever go back to apartheids days there is no ways .. people are scared and respectfully so they have reason to be ...if... You come from that era... However.... We need to move forward..my opinion..and my hope.. and hope is not always a strategy.. however at this point in my life and for the sake of the children in south Africa to have any chance of living a good life in South Africa we couldn't keep going on the path of disaster. So you know what rather let this gnu go ahead and we will all as citizens see how this play out and in five years we can vote again and change the way we vote but for me and afcourse my opinion I would like that my hard earned salary taxes gets used for proper service delivery no matter the race that leads this country. Let's drop the race card it's not helping. 30 years into democracy and we have black on white and white on black issues . But funny enough most of us work well with different races or kids play with different races we have friends of different races ..we go to church with different races. We watch sport and braai with different races . It's the few people in this country that wants to still divide us.. there is alot more to be worried about than to stress about which political party says what whose policy says what. We have an economy to repair. Jobs to increase.. infrastructure to be fixed. This list goes on and on. But we also have much to be thankful for aswell. The past hurts for most but that era is over yes we shouldn't forget those that suffererd but in my opinion there is more violence and killing happening these days over nonsense that is even worst what happened years ago. Don't let the politicians devide you and us as a nation. Goodluck to us all.. forward we go..

The DA represents white capital, but the ANC represents black capital. Yes, there are other groups within the ANC, but the capitalists are in the driver's seat and have been since 1994. I don't see any reason to assume a black bourgeoisie is much better.
MK & EFF excluded themselves from participating in the GNU. Other smaller parties also form part of the GNU. This speaker’s opinions are highly biased and gives paints a false picture.
With all due respect as a South African who voted for the DA, it's a completely false assumption that the DA isn't for the working class. If you did your research, you'd find that they have the best governance record and contrary to popular belief it's majority black.
. It's a black majority of "clever blacks" who worship freemarket economics as if it was their own idea. The are nothing like the majority of the indigenous population of South Africa and are satisfied with being led by a white man with a matric qualification and the madam who is a colonial sympathizer. The DA might appear like the best because of the clean audits but clean audits don't translate to closing the inequality gap between the African Majority and the alien European minority. In fact the policies of the DA have no practical insight on addressing the issue of inequality and infact if implemented would make it worse.
Racist party
@thalAND yet the Da is the most diverse of all the parties.Unfortunstely those young eloquent people of colour who are in the DA get referred to as "tea girls","Oreos"and "Coconuts" by their very own people.If the DA is so racist why does it have people of colour in its party and why are people of colour now voting for them?
entekhuluse2829
DA is the only multi racial party.
@@cathypotgieter6345 The African people who vote for and are members of the DA I can classify into three categories. 1. Is the "clever blacks", oreos or coconuts because they are the type that went to white schools and have developed an admiration for Europeans and their teachings. They worship Freemarket economics as if it is their messiah. They have been taught only that and have never cared to consider the Communist or Socialist Ideologies from a scientific sober factual perspective. All they know is that capitalism is the only way and socialism is evil and will be the end of the world. The are called Tea girls because of their admiration for European ideals it shows that they are not intelligent enough to question those ideals. If they did question those ideals the chances are that they wouldn't be impressed if they appreciated the facts of the history and current agenda of Europeans. 2. Is the ones that have developed an admiration for whites because they have witnessed whites being in a positions of leadership and succeed while also witnessing a lot of blacks fail. If you saw the public consultations on the ammendment of section 25 of the constitution... There were a number of elderly blacks who said that whites should keep the land because blacks don't know how to farm. They think so highly of white people because it is their lived reality. They actually subconsciously believe that they are onferior to whites. The there are the opportunistic ones who are there for material gain. I know because I do know a few who are DA members in areas where there are no white people. They don't believe in DA policies nor care really about politics, they are there because that is what puts bread on the table.
The lady doesn't seem happy with her articulation 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I've watched many of your brilliant broadcasts of the war on Gaza and applauded your investigative, objective journalism on the brutal conflict. Frankly, you've earned my respect and, I'm sure, the admiration of countless viewers.
When your show popped up on CZcams - although it's past midnight here in South Africa - I chose to watch it despite the late night hour. However, not even three minutes into your show, and I lost respect for compromising your values of objective reporting. Respectively, it appears that you haven't done your homework.
Your guest might have misled you and some of your American viewers, but she can't play that same tune to South Africans and expect us to dance to her incoherent tune.
Fact is: Since Jacob Zuma became president of RSA, the bulk of the South African population - who are black and marginalized - had become victims of putrid service delivery, growing poverty, runaway youth unemployment and rampant corruption. Whatever the ANC-government has touched for the past 30 years has gone from bad to worse. Guess what? The black majority of South African citizens have been on the receiving end, and those voters have vehemently rejected the ANC!
Moreover, after May 29, the ANC extended invitations to all political parties to become part of the GNU. Yet. both the EFF and the newly-formed MKP - led by a former ANC president, Jacob Zuma - plus smaller parties were invited, but they refused and declined the offer.
Unlike the USA, where blatant racism has become more pronounced - especially in law enforcement agencies - our country, despite having 11 different languages and many ethnic groups, is a more united country. It's only your far-left and right political formations that are adamant to sow division in our country. In case you think I'm white and have voted for the DA; I am not and haven't voted for them.
I've traveled to the US since 1993, and strangely, mostly African Americans made me aware of the color of my skin. Color in the US is not only a big issue; it's a huge issue!
Unlike the pessimistic views of your guests, our beloved country is on the verge of becoming a more united and prosperous country! Thank God Almighty, your guest is in the minority and her divided views shall not prevail in our beloved country!
The best is yet to come for South Africa!

They do wanna abolish the minimum wage. She's spot on the DAs policies
Yes they do. She however fails to mention their full plan to increase investment and therefore reduce our over 30% unemployment rate. The youth unemployment rate exceeds 50%.
There is no point in having a minimum wage when a minimum amount of people have an opportunity to earn it. Probably why the ANC has lost a staggering amount of its support.

As a South African born into the apartheid regime I say this is an excellent, coherent and well spoken analysis. Ms Phakamile Hlubi-Majola is spot on with her analysis of the DA's neo liberal agenda. The DA has its roots in apartheid South Africa and can never truly represent the majority of the population. It's time for the left to shine! and they will, in good time.
OBLIVIOUS
The working class has been shrinking for 30 years as the unemployment rate sky rocketed, due to the policies. Protecting workers rights includes the environment for economic growth that allows for job creation and income generating opportunities. Unions don't protect workers rights and our taxes income are being mismanaged by corruption that steals from the poorest of the poor.
Unemployment rose steadily with the influx of political refugees and undocumented migrants from Zimbabwe. The Democratic Alliance lent it's full political and diplomatic support to the US/UK meddling in the internal political affairs of Zimbabwe, a sovereign African state. The DA also supported the US 2008-2024 economic war on Zimbabwe. This had a direct impact on SA's migrant crises, xenophobia crises, unemployment crisis, welfare crises and in many ways... infrastructure crises
How did South African citizens vote for their own demise ? Looking like Americans
I feel that Eugene, Rania don't seem to fully understand the situation in South Africa, I myself, admit not to know much about South Africa, it's economy, how the country is run, what kind of system is in place over there, just reading some of the comments here, a lot of people seem to disagree with this lady, are disappointed that Eugene, Rania don't seem to understand South Africa, although I am very interested to know the details, because, that's the type of person I am, I need details, facts, data, not heresay, rumors from someone representing one side, I need to know both sides of the argument, before I can fully understand the picture here. I also need to understand the history post apartheid era. Because I know the history, of how it became a colony of white settlers, all that, with Nelson Mandela being imprisoned for standing up for his own people, then being freed & later being elected as the leader of South Africa. I know that part of history, but I know nothing of what happened after, what happened to the economy etc.
I read a lot of comments on here, saying that the interviewees, don't really know the situation in South Africa. If anyone from South Africa can, explain a little bit about the economy in South Africa, & how bad it is there, what's the political climate like there right now, that would really help me to understand South Africa a little bit more, so I can have a more nuanced view on this topic.
It us not a gnu- it is a coalition of opposing parties- the ANC in the interest of surviving and the DA which will continue the colonialist agenda
Not at all. It is s gnu. Count the votes.
There will be not colonialist agenda.
Older people lived through apartheid, the people who now speak about apartheid no nothing and should not speak about it apartheid fell away in 1994. What has ANC done for the people. Over the 30 years the country has fallen apart. What has the rich our people do for the lesson fortunate brothers and sisters. Nothing because the rich are comfortable. A living wage and more jobs are needed not fancy talk. Educate yourselves on the needs of South Africans and forget about Hamas terrorist and Israel. South Africans first always. Taxes should be used to uplift our people.
You don't need to have lived through apartheid to know what happened. There is a lot of literature on that subject. If you don't know the past then you couldn't possibly comprehend the present and therefore couldn't possibly find solutions that would not only satisfy the current needs but build a foundation that would see this country reach its full economic potential. The issue of Gaza is also very much in the hearts of the Africans who know what the Palestinian Liberation Organisation has done for us in the struggle for our liberation. We wouldn't be whare we are today if it wasn't for organizations like the PLO. The Palestinians were able to provide sympathize with our struggle because they were going through the same struggle and we also sympathize with them because we went through the same thing. Narrow nationalism will not lead to anything. South Africa is too small a territory to be able to function optimally on its own without the development of the neighboring territories and the African continent as a whole.
Stupidity starts when you ask what has ANC... As much as I love MK... I respect what ANC has done... It could be better if they were not corrupt but to say they did nothing is just stupidity!
@@thalentekhuluse2829 They did nothing post-Mandela, except steal. I'm grateful for all they did before 1999.
@@basildlamini9156 Sure, but you can't claim a victim card when you weren't even born when the events happened you are self-victimizing about.
@@jthehorn441 I am a victim. The inequalities in this country is a reality brought on by this country's colonial past. Racism and apartheid brought us to where we're are. The reality is that the opportunities for whites are not the same for the African Majority and that didn't happen over night. It was done deliberately over many years and there a people even to this day who are working to make sure things continue this way.
It means that SA is going to abandon BRICS and the ICJ case of Palestine.
heard only that they will support ICJ (?) BRICS I don't know
but wise up and refrain from assuming please
@@andreskorge1828 It's like that when you have a snake President who sold out the liberation at CODESA, who murdered workers at Marikana, who is all over the place (G7 & BRICS simultaneously), who tries to please everybody but not Africans, who is a coconut.
Until when nothing runs forever ?
I don't think so. It is too early for them to change that. I think they will stay with bricks until they feel like they have gotten enough investments from the west to convince South Africans that the west are better trade partners. But even then that would be a very risky move. With the ICJ the ANC will continue.
If it abandons BRICS, it will lose the support of the majority of the population. There is no room for US hegemony in SA and the EFF and MK will never allow that. We no longer trust the ANC as they have sold out.
Gosh, can't your thirst not be quenched prior to being online, or is it a security blanket?
Thank you sister for not selling out
UNEMPLOYMENT ?????
Can someone tell me how many Black South Africans voted for the DA? Can you stop the politics and respect the DA?
Dear Fellow HUMANS - seek truth first please too easily conflation of issues to suit agenda is excercised
Like anti-Z with Anti-S - 8 months of much studying still learning, learning - issues are made up by slices of the pie.
Life is nuanced, our biases abound, many perspectives and motives. Truth must be sought. Not our truth, nor your truth, nor their truth BUT the Truth - absolute, unadulterated, honest and objective. Let us all choose Critical Thinking
The people need to take back the country
Yeah true...the current lot have destroyed it.
🎉well said
South Africa sounding more like UK everyday.
So interesting - the woman talking has her own ideas - not true
Check what the DA has done versus what the ANC has done
Check the facts !!!
What has the DA done for the people in the townships and the Cape flats.
@@SpotonwithTP-qz6wq More then the ANC
DA cleaned up the suburbs and left the black townships to rt. That's what they've done. Even Time magazine highlighted this
check facts and check again. besides - according to rates revenue
The DA has done fokol for the black/brown masses living in the townships where its governing, just take a look at Khaelitsha, look at Gugulethu, Mitchells plain, capeflats, hamaskral in Tshwane, a complete and utter mess, are you fkn kidding me? And why's the western cape, called the murder capital of the continent? Gtfo man, we the natives of this country know what the DA realy is, try your friend's from the west with that bs
Love seeing the critics hate on people like this lady. They'll say "what 30 years of ANC of corruption" or "what about BEE being bad because companies can only hire based on race, not on merit" or "what about the WC being the only province in SA that works" bla bla bla. These critics are always silent when we mention WEE (white economic empowerment), here's 4 things that show how WEE was far more powerful than BEE:
1. In 1910, when the Brits formed SA, they passed a law that allowed only white people to vote.
2. They made it illegal for black people to own or buy land
3. They introduce minimum wage to poor white workers only, not black. They also passed a law that encouraged companies to hire as many white workers as possible in order to win more contracts.
4. They passed a law forbidding black people to travel freely in South Africa, requiring them to carry special IDs.
84 years of this, but they say the ANC has had more than enough time to undo these changes. The DA fearmongers by calling a ANC/EFF/MK coalition a "doomsday", saying that the markets will crash if such a coalition were to happen. Those markets, as per the JSE, are controlled and owned by companies that came to existence during and thanks to Apartheid laws. We need radical policies in SA. The markets won't crash, SA is part of BRICS and can seek the help of superpower partners.
"The Democratic Alliance's policies negatively impact South Africa's working class???. However, their governance often leads to functional municipalities with clean audits. What is your stance on the working class and their taxes in light of this contradiction?"
I beg to differ that there is just so much anyone can do under the wrong leadership. Whatever Western cape achieves is withdrawn from the public eye under scrutiny of the ANC to disregard any successes under our volatile circumstances
A clean audit is useless to the African majority if we are still left out in the fringes of the economy as cheap and easily disposable labor. I would rather we had control of the economy even if it meant we were to be lead by a tyrant.
What an interesting and thought provoking broadcast comparing the right and left wing in the USA with S.A. It might be an awesome exercise for your journalism prowess to see how this comparison translates into the S.A political landscape since we are more of a multi-party state like Germany, dispite the American pop-culture we so fondly adopt here :). Interestingly, in my humble opinion, I have noticed much similarities between the populist nature and strategies of Donald Trump in the USA and the political strategies of our 'Leftist' politicians closely associated with the ANC, EFF, MK parties, locally. Internationally, the `S.A. left` is also pushing hard for BRICS talks, which includes talks about the de-dollarization and closer ties with China and Russia, which the DA (the so called 'Right') , to my knowledge, does not pursue. Like I said, what and interesting project this investigation would be.
MK is not leftist. Fascist and corrupt to the core. Like Trump in yhe US. Popoulist.
Please do not spread false information
She's telling the truth... Didn't a DA MP get suspended for racist remarks?
Ah I think there was a lot of misinformation and or oversimplification going on here. She's right about the GNU and how that's just a coy way for the ANC to coalition with the DA without looking like sellouts, but I don't feel that she was right about much else. Just a few things here:
-ANC lost because of MK party not because of a failure to lean further left
-The DA and ANCs policy offerings don't align on a lot of things but the ANC still represents the majority in the coalition so its not like the DA is just going to have their own way about everything
-30 years on from Apartheid (30 years of ANC government) and still no 100% black owned business on the stock exchange is an argument for how ineffective BEE has turned out to be
-No party in the entire election across the political spectrum campaigned on foreign policy and it won't change under GNU
This trade union worker is worried
About losing her job n other trade unions jobs she is encouraging trouble don't hear to her u will suffer more
Trouble is what capitalists cause, not labor unions.
Her knowledge is limited and appalling she represents people. She has a biased opinion. This interview is prejudice and this channel needs to interview a more literate impartial South African. She is clueless and trying to make herself famous.
She speaks what most south Africans are saying
The DA is more center right.
The DA is right wing.
I stopped listening to this red dressed woman when the video was less than a quarter way through
I don’t this woman but she is very well spoken and did a fairly good job in articulating the political landscape in her opening address. That being said, I don’t agree with everything she has to say as her views are bias and very much anti DA (so it’s expected and not surprising) that being said, I’m both an ex ANC and DA supporter but started to lose faith in the DA the moment I started to realise they were pro America (eg their push to support the AGOA agreement) but what finally did it for me ie final nail in the coffin, was their support for Ukraine and Israel - as a result I will never ever in my lifetime support the DA as long as they support Ukraine, US, NATO and Israel.
Listen halfway - what a load of crap - no insight no clue
