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.
to lift millions of people out of poverty you need good governance, there is no quick fix. The ANC squandered 30 years with bad governance, corruption, terrible education and service delivery. We need to educate people on what policies and systems will actually help.

Really irritates me how anti DA people talk about the markets as if they don't affect them or the poor. Markets collapsing means petrol goes to 35 in 2 months. It potentially means millions of job losses. It means no foreign investment in South Africa. The markets matter to everyone. They matter a lot.

@Sgeorlestro That's not how trade works for almost anything, no one in the Sub-Saharan region is willing to lose out by simply "accepting and trusting" a currency. The US dollar is the most stable currency in the global market, no one likes that but it is a fact, also, the most stable currencies in our continent is the Botswana Pula and the Mauritian Rupee even though they buy less of our Rand, it depends a lot on their monetary policy as well. South Africa, like most African industrialized countries, needs infrastructure but in order to develop good infrastructure we need good policies and to have good policies we need good politician, and we know the quality of our politicians.
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.

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.

Absolutely fantastic Sizwe. time just flies by while im listening to you. The service you are providing is SO EXCELLENT and is sorely needed by millions of South Africans to better understand our political landscape. Keep going thank you very very much for your exceptional efforts
In key positions, the simple thing to do is to employ people who are professionals, have standards and morals. Then service delivery will improve. We need to start there. Clean the swamp!
Dr. Sizwe Mpofu Walsh. I work for a Namibian radio platform and out of this great work u do, u naturally landed on our list of extenal analysists that could have assisted us with the SA poll. My hat is off to your honour, Dr.
I didn't even know that there were so many options! And I think splitting responsibility is exactly what South Africans might need... the split vote speaks to hesitancy and national discord in general... so hopefully an operational coalition government might model for us how we can also make things work within our different constituencies even though we often feel at odds with one another.
Sho Sizwe. Can you please do an in dept analysis on the ANC in its current state. Cover the following angles Continued decline in electoral support Impact of breakaway formations from inception (PAC, IFP, UDM, COPE, EFF and MK) Impact on alliance partners (SACP and COSATU) Credibility and status of their league formations in the ANC movement (Youth League, Womens League and the MKVA) Impact of capital in the decision making of the current leadership Whenever you have time my brother. it would be interesting to get your views and that of your exceptional guests (Gogo Mashiqi)
Your ability to provide absolutely neutral opinions combined with your ability to see things from each political parties perspective is admirable. thumbs up
I’m not South African & I live in AUS. My interest in RSA politics comes from my 5 years living there before. Your analysis of the South African political landscape is intriguing.
Mr Mpofu will put knowledge in your head, gently so. This is classic content!
Sizwe is well informed and has good analytical facts around our south african politics
When Madiba won elections, he came up with a policy of one country one nation. Honestly honour Mandela by having a pragmatic coalition that will ensure that the needs of South Africa s needs are prioritised

I think casting doubts on election results by MK is just a political stunt. They don’t mean to pursue that into anything significant. Deep inside they know they have done substantially well as a rookie; at least rookie only in the modern politics if you consider the heritage of the name tag. And I think for them to play conventional and reserved instead of pageantry celebrations is good to avoid unnecessary premature pressure if they seek to infiltrate municipal fabrics of South African politics and unthread the ills and rethread. So Big-Up to them and welcome back to the Old-Man! I hope his return benefits and positively impacts the entire political scene of the Nation!

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.
JM has big brains...how I wish he can stay calm with his team...speak the truth minus anger...they can go a long way...😢😢 But good words said harshly may not send a good message to the listener. 😢😢. You are loved JM ❤❤❤❤
Couldn't wait for this one🎉
This was very engaging and well thought out perspectives of the likely scenarios that could play out or pan out. I share the same sentiments as an outsider who's followed this 2024 SA electoral cycle keenly. As a Kenyan, I can only wish SAns all the best in this uncharted territory of coalition politics and governance.
The more I think about government of national unity, the more it makes sense. Maybe that could be the best way
Have the DA done worse for the poor than the ANC? Please provide evidence

@@yvonnememela918 I was hoping for a comparative study between different places in south Africa. This should be done to help determine what policies work independent of the politics.
Great analysis, and great analyst of our government, thanks Walsh ❤
Dr. Sizwe Mpofu - Walsh , you are a DYNAMITE, according to your analysis, it's as if you studied management. I highly concur to ANC oversee the Executive while DA oversee Legislature , I realise that you are excluding the third arm of Government Judiciary as it's role may be well defined. ❤ as a professional that studied management, I would say you are correct why, because the Scientific Father of Management Frederick Taylor talk about the Division of Labour; I think to that effect Accountability will be Superb.❤😊😂
Thanks

Thank you! 🙏🏽
My question is will it now become difficult for the big tender Mafias to get tenders since ANC lost majority?
I have been watching this channel since from the beginning and its amazing to see how big it has grown and the content is one of the best in the country
Best analysis ever, very informative. Thank you very much Dr Mpofu!
Gwede and them need to watch this. We also need to be very specific on how we going to empower people of South Africa. I don't hear anyone talking about improving the Education system. People want the land, but what good is the land if people don't have the skill to work the land. I support the Industrialisation but bring the technical programmes in schools. EFF was talking about increasing grants during their election campaigns but no plan on how to empower and arm people with skills. People need skills so they are able to work for themselves not to depend on government grants.

EFF talked about grants for old people and unemployed in other words those who aren’t working YET. African people will be empowered through the beneficiation of goods from resources that are mined locally by the state

Thank you Sizwe,
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.
However this goes down. We need jobs for the youth.
Welcome Dr SMW. Its been a while. Where have you been hiding i missed you. Thanks
I really appreciate your knowledge and understanding of the constitution and politics and the simplicity with which you explain the diffenent issues.Thank you.
Well done, Sizwe and friends at SMWX, this is a good in depth overview with a balanced analysis from the perspective of the whole country. I am from an older generation and from a neighbouring country, but now a subscriber!
