Alliance ends, but how long will it last, since money speaks louder than political promises ?- Red Brigade wanted the mayorship in Tshwane, but DA wont surrender power to EFF

Posted on Leave a comment

The EFF announced that they would not go into coalition with the DA in any municipalities as the DA refused their request that the red brigade receive the mayor in Pretoria.

They also said they would not partner with the ANC if votes were to be voted for.

Observers say time will tell how long the “promise” will last because money speaks louder than political promises.

The DA will not surrender the government of the City of Tshwane to the EFF, regional leader Abel Tau has said. Tau, also utility services MMC in the City’s DA-led coalition government, hit out at his EFF counterpart Moafrika Mabogwana, who has called for a fresh election in the metro.

“We don’t live in a banana republic where everyone can today decide that I am not happy with how people have voted and call for elections,” said Tau.

“In democracy, you respect democracy and wait for the next election cycle.”

After the May 8 general electio

ANC lays criminal charges against Steve Hofmeyr after his tweet: “And when you come to take our lives and land, you will die. ” But it’s OK if the EFF and BLF say Land or Die?

In a seemingly sarcastic new tweet on Monday, the singer on Monday said he had ‘reversed’ his original post.

The governing ANC said it would on Monday lay charges against Afrikaans musician Steve Hofmeyr for his “racist and inhumane” rants on social media directed at ambassador to Denmark Zindzi Mandela and DA (Democratic Alliance) MP (Member of Parliament), Phumzile Van Damme.

The ANC said in a statement: “Hofmeyr issued death threats against South Africa’s Ambassador to Denmark, Zindzi Mandela-Hlongwane and DA MP Phumzile Van Damme. The ANC urges South Africans to isolate people that continue to promote racism in our country and remains resolute in its campaign of building a non-racial, democratic and prosperous society.

“The ANC holds no brief to sympathise with racists, and will not hesitate to report their conduct to authorities regardless of their public standing. Laying charges of crimen injuria against Steve Hofmey

DA in bed with EFF – rumours are going around that the parties are in negotiations about installing a red beret as mayor in Tshwane

Posted on Leave a comment

EFF leader Julius Malema said on Thursday that his party was in negotiations with the DA to formally partner in governing Tshwane and Johannesburg.

Addressing a media conference at the party’s head office in Johannesburg, Malema said his party wanted to take over the Tshwane mayorship.

He said the party would also join government in the city of Johannesburg as members of the mayoral committee (MMCs).

“This is a power-sharing … We have already started talking to the DA. We are sharing power in Joburg, we are sharing power in Tshwane,” said Malema.

From the EFF’s own performance in the recent elections, to Cyril Ramaphosa’s ANC conundrum and the rise of the FF+ – these are the highlights from the EFF’s media conference on May 16 2019.

He said the EFF would not be calling for a motion of no confidence in current mayor Stevens Mokgalapa of the DA, but would like to take over in a manner t

Your Vote DOES Count in SA’s Proportional Representation System – Do The Math. Not Voting Strengthens The ANC’s Vote

Posted on Leave a comment

THE SA VOTING SYSTEM EXPLAINED: The Proportional Representation voting system that is used in SA means that every vote counts and that NONE ARE WASTED. This why it is important to vote for smaller parties and NOT the main parties like ANC or DA!

VERY SIMPLE – IT WORKS LIKE THIS:

10 people go to vote. 6 vote “ANC” and 4 vote for the “fairy tale” party. The ANC will get 6 out of 10 votes which is 60% of the seats in parliament and the “fairy tale” party will get 4 out of 10 votes which is 40% of the seats.

HOWEVER >>>

If 13 people go to vote the sum looks like this:

Still only 6 people have vote for the ANC as before,
and once again 4 people for the “fairy tale” party,
but now 2 people for the “happy” party,
and 1 person for the “we care” party
and 1 person for the “nou gaan ons braai” party.

NOW the ANC still only gets 6 votes, but it is out of out of
