2024 Elections | We will not bury our heads in the sand: DA Leader, John Steenhuisen

The people have now spoken and they have not given an outright majority to any party thereby demanding cooperation from their political leaders. With this historic result, our country has arrived now at the next great fork in the road of our long and complex history.

    Where was this guy 32 years ago and who were his friends? Are his friends of over 31 years old still alive? How does this make sense to you? They stole you land your resources and hoarded it up to this date. This is why the economic is not growing and there is electric fence around their houses. They are your problem not Julius Melama.

    I fear the ANC will drag the DA down with it, as the ANC won't give DA enough power to actually implement the required changes, but people will blame DA for ANC failures. However, it is the only option to prevent immediate economic collapse. If DA agrees to a coalition with the ANC, it would be a shining example of putting country ahead of party. One of the most patriotic moves a political party has made in a long time. And as much as I loathe the ANC, I must give credit. Most liberation movements have never given up power peacefully. The ANC seems to be accepting the results (unlike Zuma), and accepting the partial loss of power

DA needs to stay as official opposition and should rather do a confidence & supply agreement with the ANC, thereby enabling the forming of a Government by the ANC (there are currently at least 17 successful counties world wide, with the same government confidence & supply arrangement) If the DA goes into full coalition with the ANC it will be a disaster, because then MK & EFF become the official opposition, which could steer SA in the wrong direction

South Africa was growing nicely until Zuma became president, then Eskom was looted, Transnet, SAL and Denel. What you do not realise is that with all the money he and the Guptas stole, millions of jobs were lost. Jobs that would have fed millions of people. I cannot understand how you cannot look around you and see South Africa is going down.

ANC BEE is racist, divisive and counterproductive. Anti-South African.

We face different challenge on daily basis, we have different historical backgrounds and those difference shape our view in terms of politics, unfortunately The DA has not been attractive to most people, mainly in how they handle certain matters. It will take time definitely but for now let us appreciate our unity in diversity and political differences. I can't tell an old Black grandma or grandpa to vote for DA, same as I can't tell an old White Afrikaner grandma or grandpa who lived through a period of Afrikaner nationalism that voting for FF+ is anti-progressi. They have totally different historical background and that shapes how they vote. I was born in the 90s and I know the direction I want SA to take and I will vote for a party that resonates with views or policies that will be beneficial for my outlook. That statement was the one I was trying to avoid, as it is offensive and most people won't like. Democracy is a process, and like all processes they take time. Do I vote for the DA, yes do I agree with all their approaches, no. I find them a bit inconsistent in some cases and a bit inconsiderate when it comes to how they transform historically non - white neighborhoods. But knowing the direction I want for my the future of SA, I will vote for them, that's not to say they are the only party capable of getting us there.

    The MPC was a great idea. Unfortunately, i think the Mk was formed to win voters who were not going to support anc any longer. Now, through a coalition, the anc will still keep majority rule with double the theft and complete darkness. Then, the majority will likely resort to theft and riots again to put food on the table. If ANC truly wants to make SA better, they will negotiate with DA, but that would mean reducing the gravy train.

    The TLDR of this 10 minute address is as follows: 1. The ANC took a big hit but not big enough. 2. The votes the ANC lost have just gone to the MK who are even more self destructive than the EFF. 3. The DA and the their multi-party charter did not get enough votes to replace the ANC. 4. An ANC + MK coalition would turn SA into a hellhole of epic proportions. 5. By getting less than 10% of the national vote, the EFF can essentially be ignored in any negotiations between either the ANC + DA or the ANC + MK. 5. Only an ANC + DA coalition will retain market stability, investor confidence and the integrity of the Constitution. 6. An ANC + DA coalition will be a bitter pill to swallow for both sides but it is the only rational option given the % votes of each party. So people on both sides must suck it up. 7. This is going to take negotiating at a level more delicate than performing open groin surgery, as there are some strong opposing viewpoints and policies on both sides that neither will be willing to compromise on. I chuckle sometimes at political speak. "Reach out to other parties" equals reach out to the ANC. There is nobody else to reach out to that will make any difference but by not saying ANC somehow cushions the announcement that will be made in 2 weeks time. The ANC for their part are also in a bad spot. If they side with MK then Cyril is out and the hardliners can call the shots. Zuma will never be an MP again but will puppet-master his kids in the national assembly from the sidelines. The rational element of the ANC also know an MK alliance will tank the market and cause a stampede on immigration offices to the UK, AUZ etc. The DA is the only logical alternative if the ANC wants to keep food in the trough for the cadres to feed on. Both the ANC and the DA need each other to survive but both will want to pretend they don't. It is like watching a dystopian romantic drama...they fight, they hate each other, then something happen and they end up together to save the world. Please, both of you, do the right thing for the rest of us, even those who don't know any better and voted us into this mess.

    Something we tend to forget is that domestic governance is nothing more than management. In stead of merely appointing competent executives and managers, we overly complicate the issue by having all these political parties. No wonder it takes a political "scientist" to make sense of this nonsense. Scrap all political parties - implement a proper up-down democracy based on quality and proper representation in stead of populism, skullduggery and deceit. There is only one guaranteed result of our current system : Rich politicians .

They want peace, work, place to live, food to eat, great life to live. This is what government should help facilitate. Everything that is too big for single people to maintain, is the job of government to do. That is what we pay taxes for. For the rest government should stop being the sand in the gears. Get out of the way so that the gears and wheels can start running smoothly. People will make that happen. Which ever parties gets that done has my blessing. But we have to look at what parties say and have done to not choose the wrong ones for the coalition.

Also no one other than infighting brought the Anc below majority vote, it was Zuma and only Zuma. Without him they'd still be sitting on majority and the DA would still be sitting in the low 20s. As the main opposition party how do not grow in size and capture substantial votes with a rival with a abismal track record as the Anc. The DA is failing to capture black votes and sort out their image among the masses. As a DA voter its so dissapointing
