This is a grudge cabinet as ANC did have a majority. ANC did not act in good faith and cannot be trusted. The fact they increased the cabinet posts prove this is about keeping as much of their posts as possible. The corrupt MP's named by Zondo are still in parliament. This is about party gain and they have no interest in fixing the economy they broke.
The DA was completely conned at national level, all they have done is to spin the ANC good story, they wonder why the same is happening in Gauteng and the media / journalist class has gone agnostic again 🤷🏽♂️🤯
Make the circle bigger, bigger, bigger…🙄
So every ANC deputy minister is there to see that the DA's deputy minister cannot do anything worthwhile....
So what do we get from the GNU? more people on the gravy train??? OMW!! What a circus!
At this point, the only route for the DA is to uncover corruption and air it out in public. They have so little power and are no on the hook for corruption and mismanegment.
I dont think DA want how can we do each other in Helen said all they want is to make South Africa better by doing the best they can with the ministries they have been given Keeping DA in prayers Thank You Father in Jesus Name Amen
As the biggest risk in SA is food and water. Agriculture is crucial and allowing technology to get internet to businesses.
Helen Zille vermeld dat alle besluite van die RNE op "EVIDENCE" gebaseer moet word ... nie langer op ideologie nie! 'Evidence' gebaseerde besluitneming in die RNE sal die 'gifangel' van ideologie neutraliseer. Dit is KRITIEK ... want die land benodig die 'pragmatisme' van "evidence based" besluitneming! Honger Xhosa kinders in die Oos Kaap kannie ideologie eet nie!
The ANC Deputy Ministers with DA Deputy Ministers seems to be Ramaphosa putting a stopgap to DA DMs’ ability to act.
The DA sold out its voters. They can now make no difference to our employment, our finances and the public services. The DA is also going to go the same way as the old National Party... out the back door. Why did we waste our votes!
The da grabbed the last straw before drowning
This cabinet is a recipe for disaster. Both parties are very divided on issues. How will they ever reach consensus? Just shows how clueless and incompetant the president is to lead the country. Ramaphosa has failed our citizens and country in the past. How is going to change?
ANC and and its offshoots still have a 2/3rds majority so their ideology does represent the people
The idiots are having a field time digging up "apartheid, colonists, white supremacy" etc etc etc connected to DA 😳🙄 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I also feel the same! Going nowhere...slowly! Something to be thankfull for!?
We are all hoping, trusting and believing that the DA will uplift the ANC out of the cesspool they've been wallowing in for the last 30 yrs..... However - could just as eadily happen that they just join the ANC at the trough - using our money!!
You say a New Gov. Its a gNU that left the not at all progressive, disruptive despicables out in cold sea having jumped off the cliff!
ANC in perpetuity.
The anc won this one hands down. The DA are limping with with scraps looking a lot like the former NNP ☹️
Guys, no audio...
This is not what I vote for!
These are politicians gentlemen they are in it for themselves. I can see it from your'll faces. The DA has started failing you already. Welcome to the disappointment club. 😔
Got to be honest ANC is just not prepared to put country first, most people were so disappointed with the old wood being recycled. If unemployment and crime rate remains high the GNU has failed, but it will come back on the ANC because they hold those positions. Home office can also be held accountable for high crime because if drugs continue to stream in, criminals come in and disappear after crimes being committed, stolen vehicles crossing borders, terror financing. I think Gayton had a lucky escape actually. Even John had a lucky escape Agriculture is not going to make or break you.
guys, please swat pronunciation of names.
Aaron M was a disaster in health. What possessed them to put him back there?
He is a disaster anywhere
Will we ever get off the grey list?Methinks not.
So if any of the non anc party ministers give up will this play into the ancs plans to grab full control despite the election results?
As always the dumb vote in the criminals
Ridiculous cabinet. How on earth did all the other parties agree to such an imbalance in the power structures? The ANC have come out clear winners on this one. Sad but true...
One actually wonders about this that is out on social media : What does the ANC want? Having DA do the work that they should have done over the last 30 years. If the system works, the ANC takes the credit. If things don’t work, DA will be blamed.
The DA ministers will have to manage departments, packed with incompetent anc cadres. What is the possibility for getting anything done. Answer: none. Just like the anc planned it.
DA got the dregs hoping they can work some magic...😊😮
As usual the ANC come out on top. Was this brilliant strategy or was it simply that we all know that they are prepared to destroy the country if they dont get their way? Personally I dont see how you can negotiate with the ANC given that they will happily see people starve or worse as long as they keep power
WTF IS COMPLIMENT CARDES
Sorry competent , does it exist ?
As long as the ANC holds the Treasury we will not see much success from the DA because the treasury will hold back funding.
The cost of gov has just tripled!!!😢
The ANC has played a very smart game. They have diluted the DAs power in cabinet by increasing the number of cabinet posts and removing crucial areas from DA control. This is bad faith. It's also a history of bad faith. So the DA should respond in kind in parliament when that vote of no confidence comes up. Ramaphosas only goal is retaining ANC power, looking at the cabinet
More people should be outraged with the ANC.
Very true!
The DA should never have agreed to that letter of intent without stipulating a marked reduction in cabinet posts and a clear understanding regarding proportionality. The ANC, even after its loss, hasn't changed one bit. Now, we sit with a bloated cabinet filled with incompetent ANC deployees and can therefore expect more of the same. The DA is on a leash, so I won't hold my breath. It's quite disappointing, to say the least, and very far from a GNU. The ANC has far too much power because the cabinet does not reflect the will of the people.
I totally agree with you! The ANC laughs all the way to the bank (again!)
The DA was completely conned at national level and all they have done is to spin the ANC good story🤮
Everyone in that coalition should have demanded a reduction in cabinet and proportionality in terms of NA seats.
But they didn't demand it. So what does that tell you? They all just wanted to make sure they have a place at the trough!!
The basic reasons for comforts are lost to younger generations. Transport food ... to the vulnerable. Word close to home ... plant food.
The DA must not compromise. They must get their fair share of cabinet posts. The ANC is negotiating in bad faith.
Chris needs to clean his Webcam, looks like he had one hell of a sneeze at some stage.
You guys should ditch your T.D.S. The world was a much safer place when Trump was president.
Counties who have been governed by coalition governments know that these negotiations take way longer than three or four weeks.
Was Biden set up to fail? Early debate, no ground support in real time? Democrats have to replace him to beat trump
Latest Real Clear Polling average has Trump up 1.9 percent head-to-head against Sleepy Joe and that's BEFORE last night's debate... He's up to 2.9 percent in 5-way with RFK and the others.
DA must dig heels in deep, don't give in to the ANC mugs!
Hi Nic love your Podcast man Danko 😊🇿🇦👍
Biden needs to go on retirement. They REALLY need to find new candidates for BOTH of these parties.
Biden and Zuma can go on retirement together.
