Ramaphosa says coalition govts 'never work well' as he visits 'filthy' NMB | IOL NewsThe NMB municipality coalition government - led by mayor Mongameli Bobani of the UDM, but is mainly made up by ANC councillors ... And the CorruptANC 'works better' ? Ja right !! Ramaphosa said, 'Coalition governments never really work well...only...one...party...the ANC.' But the coalition government 'is mainly made up by African National Congress councillors', so we see that the ANC refuses to work well if they aren't in charge. Majority party rule neither. ANC track record spk for itself.

Come May 9, Cyril Ramaphosa will need a planIf book-burning is your thing, Pieter-Louis Myburgh's magnificent piece of investigative reporting, Gangster State - Unravelling Ace Magashule's Web of Capture, would be just the ticket He doesn't have one now, fool. They can't touch Ramaphosa... Let them try and see how economy will tumble, a see bread costing R100, and watch how harshly the people of this country will deal with the Zuma faction. Gupta Ministers arent going anywhere. Cyril is doomed either way.
