He is great
NHI is the ANC's way of accessing more taxpayers money
This ANC guy is a fool
Do these ANC clowns actually believe their own nonsense which comes out of their mouths, best for them must keep quiet
So ANC leaders think they are too important to attend?
ActionSA 💚💚💚
This debate was VERY well moderated. Way better than the mayhem of the Daily Maverick debate. That was sad. This debate was calm, easy to listen to and gave a fair platform to each speaker to defend their positions.
I'm not voting for Rise Mzansi but this guy 🔥🔥🔥he proves me wrong today.

Rise Mzansi is extremely suspect . Any voter who votes for them will be voting for the ANC . Do not believe what their leader says, look at the reaction of his two supporters who gave great applause to the ANC and seemed to only be gunning for the DA. Why? Huge immaturity and vindictiveness was shown by them. The Anc representative was as incompetent as his party is . The other parties came over as genuine supporters of the South African people . Thank you.
Where are parties such as BOSA?

Why did they not invite UIM Pres Neil de Beer. He is always being overlooked as a new party, yet they always give newer parties like BOSA, Rise Msanzi etc a platform.

I watched the Langa debate about crime in SA. From what I can tell, all of the SABC debates were atrocious. The participants and audience didn't seem to understand the purpose, the moderation was terrible with no respect for time, and the production quality was really terrible. Our national broadcasting corporation should do better. It's ridiculous that we have to rely on private organisations like News24 to host quality dialogue between electoral candidates
I appreciate that ActionSA has mentioned crime in this country

SA is a Movie 🎬 . Now, the moonshot pact parties are debating with each other🤣. Who can take this seriously? 🤷♂️This is just a family reunion. Nice rehearsal boys😂
The ANC representative made a completely false statement, which he did not correct. He stated that there are over 800,000 (EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND) informal settlements in the Western Cape! How on earth could there be 800,000 informal settlements in the Western Cape? There are 7.5 million people living in the Western Cape. This would imply that every single person lives in an informal settlement and that there are less than 10 people living in each informal settlement! I am surprised that nobody picked up on this!
Anc is the only party that think, BEE is good for SA

Thank you news 24 for this broadcast, so enlightening to hear from the parties in question, the ANC was as weak as we know them to be, it was a delight and pleasure listening to the IFP, ActionSA and Rise umzanzi, the DA leader was weak and this is where it's very evident of his lack of education and knowledge, Its clear the DA's strengths are reliant on fear mongering and what the ANC does wrong, and while I understand to some extent that's the role of the opposition but you need to be able to stand strongly as a party with your policies, ideas and views, you need to have a good understanding of our constitution and democracy this is not a play ground where you are fighting for a toy!

That was in the cape flats. I want to thank them for there excellent work. Now all those factories are shut down❤

The ANC only ever highlights the shortcomings in the Western Cape but never discuss what goes on in municipalities run by them. Have you seen the state of the Eastern Cape? Some residents of ANC-run municipalities must deal with road and water infrastructure repairs themselves because there's no money available due to corruption. In the western cape our service work. People in INFORMAL SETTLEMENT may disagree but they loge in informal settlement. And they do get services even though they migrate the wc to get aware from their poor functioning ANC run municipalities. Do the math. Also the ANC advocate for undereducating people. Why? So people can't thinking for themselves. That's what you get when you can "pass" math at 30%, proving that you didn't understand 70% of it. And then there's the gift that they've given us of loadshedding for 16 YEARS! WAKE UP MZANZI. loadshedding has only been suspended to manipulate voters. It will come back. Loadshedding pending.....
