The province is drifting away from them but the guy is playing marbles .

If you've been identified by the ANC as an important political constituency (eg. ANCalignedUnions, TraditionalLeadersAndKings, TaxiIndustry SowetanResidents) your illegal & unlawful actions will be condoned & supported by the party, no matter the cost to law-abiding SAfns!!

PanyazaLesufi continues to support the illegal non-payment for services by SowetanResidents, which the ANC has been condoning & supporting FOR YEARS, all at huge cost to SATaxpayers! Tough luck to other SAfns battling to pay their bills: They're not a protected constituency!!

There is no premier in Gauteng

But he is doing good things that Makhura failed in ten years to do,Lesufi he is doing it in one month

He is hard at work delivering on his party's mandate and how you interpret that can not be attributed to him. You may be wrong in your characterisation of what he is doing and incidentally missing the point that he is actually doing that which resonate with his core constituency.

He won't save, Gauteng is gone from the anc come 2024

Setting himself up for failure.

Panyaza will lose Gauteng

His heart is in a good place. It is just that like his president Cyril his promises are too ambitious. 🤷🏿‍♂️

He must forget about winning Gauteng if he allowed Alexander mafias and adiwele faction to control him.

The question is what happens to counter revolutionary media houses like yours. Do we revisit the white paper on media or do we throw this rubbish 🗑 to the sea.

And he will still lose in 2024
