Prof Spitting Facts. He always makes my screen Wet .

[@mneli1998]

Spot on proff. correct them when they ARE Wrong Rob has already decided about what SABC asked you. They even cut you when you say more words

[@Basil1956]

I agree with you prof take a few from each party and but them in Positions to build the new democracy let them work together to build a new South Africa where we are South Africans and not by race

[@dochere-bolelwang]

The vote rigging and the weaponization of the judiciary must be dealt with first..

[@UnamTsengiwe]

Thank you Prof, you are one of a few who understands the plight of our people and urgency of the situation.

[@dochere-bolelwang]

But I have a problem with the idea of the GNU.. How would this fit in with the current set of events given the Constitutional limitations and directives ?. There seems to be no realism with the Prof's view....

[@hgfku-tn6hb]

Oliver Tambo once said “The liberation movement should never go into bed with the enemy, For the people will look at you as the enemy”

[@dochere-bolelwang]

It'd be a big mistake to repeat what Ramaphosa has done to the oppressed of this country.. It just shows that the love of money is the root of evil..

[@farzana6676]

​@@dochere-bolelwang Oppressed by whom? 😂😂😂

[@dochere-bolelwang]

Oppressed by the new New National Party. the same way as the old New National Party. , the Nothing New Party which thinks apartheid never existed..

[@seatieltsiane]

Oppressed by white monopoly capitalism...

[@KennethDankers]

ANC must go!

[@guts1859]

Ramaphalaphala must go

[@geegab5178]

The elections were really unusual for South Africa. The ANC, will need a strong coalition government!!

[@donmeow]

The professor's take is unconvincing. Despite all the issues, 40% of the electorate went with Ramaphosa and 15% went with Zuma. Firstly, It stands to reason that if Zuma had maintained unity then the ANC would have attained 55% of the national vote or close to there. Second, the fact that Zuma took 15% of the vote while BOSA, Rise, Action SA barely made a dent with the DA itself shedding votes - tells me that issues of corruption & service delivery were not really top of mind for atleast 65% of voters when you consider the EFF's voters. Third, if Ramaphosa's ANC wants to regain lost ground it needs to intensify renewal while implementing a government led economic stimulus program. Alliance with the DA is the best platform for that but the DA would have to agree to no changes to government and foreign policy as well to agree to increased state borrowing.

[@tebellorankadi]

YOU hit it right on the nail , but ANC cant go with DA it wont make sense at all one party will swallow the other

[@shafiyaalgiquadra1105]

The DA should be willing to make extreme concessions and even in that case we would still disagree in a case of extreme distrust. We say no to DA.

[@chesterdonnelly1212]

Your thinking is too simplistic. Unless you have data to support your assumption it is worthless.

[@kamps492]

85% of the voters said no to Zuma

[@donmeow]

@@kamps492 exactly the reason why an alliance with the MK and fudging of renewal would certainly mean the end of the ANC come 2029.

[@verulamwalla4999]

These results are a fair warning to all political parties and candidates not get too comfortable and take the electorate for granted - All Politicians need to focus on enhancing the lives of all South African citizens to maintain their positions in government !

Not too surprising.. The SABC is part of the problem.. Note how they are silent about the fraud allegations..

[@farzana6676]

​​@lungelolungelo1399 Loool, what are you worried about. 60% of South Africa voted for ANC and DA. DA knows how to grow economy and run a country.

The ANC should never go into coalition with the DA (no matter what) IF they do, the last 6 million people who still believe in the ANC will turn their backs on the ANC forever

Beneficiary of R370 social grants always bring race into debate.

[@Jacolath]

This is the main misconception. Having a market driven policy is for the upliftment of people out of poverty by providing jobs and capital which requires business and a thriving economy. Even the state requires the taxes and investment to be able to pursue social projects like grants, healthcare and minimum basic income. Without business none of these things will happen. And a side note. 99% of white people work for bosses just like everybody else. They vote DA because they believe those policies are the best way to help everybody specially the masses of poor - right or wrong
