Shock! Horror! The Young Thug wing of the ANC forcibly prevented the launch of a book they did not approve of. The Sandton launch for Pieter-Louis Myburgh’s expose of ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule’s dirty dealings as Free State premier had to be abandoned in the face of a book- ripping crowd of threatening ANC Youth League supporters. Police stood by, either inept or complicit. With such a poorly-trained force, it is not always easy to tell the difference. Big deal.
The latest incident just provides more evidence of the obvious: the ANCYL and EFF share the same DNA. It is, after all, EFF leader Julius Malema, who when former president Jacob Zuma was under fire like Ace is now, threatened to “kill for Zuma”. This schizophrenia - the ANC’s right hand slapping its own left wrist in feigned rebuke - is a well-worn but an effective tactic. Eventually the dissonance between Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde will cause a permanent rupture, but for now it works wonderfully.
This is what makes absurd the suggestion that South Africans who have previously voted for opposition parties should “support” President Cyril Ramaphosa’s faction against former president Jacob Zuma’s faction on May 8.
TheJaundicedEye No they don’t. IEC has verified all candidates, now it’s up to voting.
TheJaundicedEye Tainted meaning black or pitch black or yellow like Eish? Deadman walking. His bosses, being the KZN kings, will also have him eliminated like they did with Jacob when he stole more than them.
TheJaundicedEye Why's Ace's face there?

Bombarded with information, voters may be confused this electionAs much as the ANC is under pressure from all opposition parties, an intense, unled competition among the opposition parties provides reprieve for the ruling party, writes Ralph Mathekga. I don't think so.the SAn electoral field doesn't have millions of floating,undecided votes.majority of voters know exactly who to vote for. Let me tell you for free, any person eligible to vote has already decided who to vote for. These campaign trails by political parties are just for show, political postures that have nothing to do with the people It's the other way round since we have abo; AIC, ACM, ATM & ANC these parties are going to confuse some voters hence they will be next to each other, no wonder Hlaudi is so opmistic 🙄
