There is no doubt in my mind none what soever,that the only alternative to the ANC is the DA,Its policies are sensible and constructive,it has members that have the skills and nohow as they have been in politics for a very long period of time,compared to members of other political parties that are contesting in the general Election due on 22nd April 2009,It can claim claim to be a true Democratic Party,as it is non racial and therefore will govern for all South Africans,unlike the ANC,a political party that openly is for and stands for BLACK POWER RULE for South Africa

Dude. By your definition, floor crossers would be the most astute voters. Hmmm … what’s wrong with that picture?

If you knew the pain, heartache and the sheer will involved in getting bums on the seats of shows entitled “the ethics of eating” or some such, you would have a heart mr ndumiso. what with one thing or the other, that team is always on the verge of nervous breakdown.
which explains the random congratulations at the end. it’s to keep themselves going in spite of all evidential wisdom pointing in the opposite direction.
ah, good times. can we debate about your hat next time? i’m sure i could find some bums to put on seats somewhere on such a fascinating topic…

oh yeah…vote freedom front. for the same reason that memebers of production teams get up in the morning, they continue to exist. it defies logic, but still is. gotta love that unfounded determination.

“Is your mind open enough to imagine a future with Thami ka Plaatjie in the driving seat?”

After listening to one of those stiff Pheko speeches on MorningLive or something i felt i had to share a bit of the mirth with my s’bali. Anyway, there i am rambling on and on about how i think the PAC is a bunch of old pensioners driving a car on bricks and grass while sipping their nip of Old Brown.

My brother-in-law, with a straight face, shared that Pheko was one of his father’s best friends…Bastard!!! But then we laughed it off.

Anyway, my mind is open subject to how many kegs i’m emptying. But they have to still make the poison that will accomplish this feat.

My views about the FF are/were similar to yours ie zero until some time ago on a long car journey i heard one of their leading lights being interviewed. I am still not a supporter but their leadership are not certified and they do have some sensible ideas, at least i am open to their ideas when presented in a democratic open way.

As for a Volkstaat somewhere in the N. Cape is this any wilder or weirder than a Swazi, Lesotho or Botswana state deep within SA’s borders??

@ Patriot

I imagine you are writing a very extensive biography on JZ?

Patriot – to quote Kit; ‘put the Klippies down’.

This is about the Constand Viljoen legacy. Who is Zuma now?

Pathetic, how low are our standards now?

“When priests pray for poverty to end and for development, then it means God agrees with the ANC because the ANC stands for those things,” Zuma said.

Zuma was speaking at Kwaggafontein Stadium in Mpumalanga yesterday where he told church leaders they must persuade believers to vote for the ANC.

“When you preach in your churches, just explain to the congregation – in a paragraph – about the ANC.

“People who love God must not play with their votes, they must vote for the ANC. We believers know that Jesus will come back, we say the ANC will rule until he comes back,” said Zuma.

“We in the ANC know God. When the ANC was born, it was baptised. We have respect, we are beautiful, we conduct ourselves in a good way.”

Zuma said the ANC will not hesitate to remove officials who were not prepared to work for the people.

“We do not want lazy people. If you are lazy we will remove you. If you are corrupt we will remove you. When you are in government and you think you are above the ANC we will remove you.”

Without mentioning Cop e presidential candidate Mvume Dandala by name, Zuma said: “I heard this bishop on the radio or TV this morning saying [Nelson] Mandela belongs to all of us. I am warning them, Madiba belongs to the ANC. Madiba has never even thought about leaving the ANC.”

Hey Bonginkosi – no, really? And there I was actually thinking that our blogging friend was actually going to vote for the FF, hey.

My ‘rant’ is not aimed at Silwane’s hypothetical vote for the FF+. I mean really, even most white folks are too leftist for those nutsoids so where do you get the idea that I’m castigating him for actually hanging to the right? It’s actually more a general statement – it’s that easy to be called a rightwinger, just criticise a bit of the more irrational current theories of leftness and voila! George Bush style, ‘if you’re not with us, you’re against us’.

Put the klippies down, that much laughing at something so not funny means it’s enough time. Glad you enjoyed.

@Kit

It is satire!! Gedit? Satire. So all your ramblings about Silwane voting for the FF+ are wasted.

I was told some time back that Black people don’t do satire. Is that why you are confused???

I really want to laugh out loud at you. No offense but HEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
