7th Administration | DA guns for administration in key departments

The SABC has confirmed the cabinet preferences of the DA set out in a letter written by Federal Chair Helen Zille to ANC SG Fikile Mbalula.
The DA wants the position of deputy presidency - but if that is not attainable, then it is willing to accept the Minister in the Presidency and a Deputy Minister of Finance. The DA has further set its sights on eleven ministries that include Mineral Resources, Transport, Home Affairs, Public Works and Higher Education. President of the Black Business Council President Elias Monage joins us via teams to unpack this

[@ulricgordon8586]

The DA is entitled to ministries roughly proportionate to their seats within the GNU. The GNU makes up 72% of parliament. Therefore 22% as a fraction of the 72% is roughly 30%. 30% of 30 ministries is around 9 to 10 ministries. The ANC with their 40% is entitled to 16 to 17 ministries. Stop doing ANC maths. The other parties only have 1 to 2 seats, many of them less than 1%, but the ANC think it's OK to give THEM ministries?

My guy here is a president of some organization but doesn’t understand proportionality, now because I’m black some people maybe think he represents me. Mr Sir, regardless of 10 or 17 parties in the GNU and their different percentages, the DA wants 22% of any number and also agrees that the ANC should get 40% of that total number. 30 ministries, ANC gets 40%, DA gets 21.7%, the remainder goes to other parties based on their percentages. The PRESIDENT was also voted for by the DA and others, he wasn’t born to president, that means him being from the ANC forms part of what the ANC should get, the 40%. The more parties the ANC invites, the lesser their entitlements become because the 40% becomes the Zim Dollar’s worth.

Does the constitution cater for such externalities though? Does it stipulate that in the case a President is selected by a multiplicity then his "prerogative" shall be impelled to consider the percentages constituted? Are we intending to transform a "statement of intent" into a motion to amend the constitution? As a DA supporter I say the constitution is supreme, and following that the "prerogative" is supreme.

As much as this gentleman has concerns i have 2. My first concern is if this man is the president of the BBC is this the best the BBC has to offer? Might it be the reason black businesses ain't growing? Stating it is simple maths and then not even being able to grasp the concept even when the presenter tries explaining it to him. Second concern is he understands very well and he is trying to mislead the general public for malicious reasons. The DA is so greedy they want a deputy minister in finance ANC should rather work with the EFF who wants Floyd as minister of finance 🤔? I think the only honest concern he mentioned was that the DA would like to review recent tenders cause i have a feeling that some of these BBC members has over charged goverment for work and they are scared this might come to light.

THIS ISSUE OF THE PRESIDENT HAVING POWER TO NOMINATE THE EXECUTIVE DID EXISTED IN THE ONE PARTY MAJORITY RULE.THIS IS THE GNU...SO ONCE THE President of GNU is elected..The National Assembly that has chosen him must also choose the Executive National unity government, government of national unity (GNU), or national union government is a broad coalition government consisting of all parties (or all major parties) in the legislature, usually formed during a time of war or other national emergency. A unity government according to the principles of consensus democracy lacks opposition, or opposition parties are too small and negligible. coalition government, or coalition cabinet, is a government where political parties enter a power-sharing arrangement of the executive. Coalition governments usually occur when no single party has achieved an absolute majority after an election. A party not having majority is common under proportional representation, but not in nations with majoritarian electoral systems. There are different forms of coalition governments, minority coalitions and surplus majority coalition governments. A surplus majority coalition government controls more than the absolute majority of seats in parliament necessary to have a majority in the government, whereas minority coalition governments do not hold the majority of legislative seats. A coalition government might also be created in a time of national difficulty or crisis (for example, during wartime or economic crisis) to give a government the high degree of perceived political legitimacy or collective identity, it can also play a role in diminishing internal political strife. In such times, parties have formed all-party coalitions (national unity governments, grand coalitions). If a coalition collapses, the Prime Minister and cabinet may be ousted by a vote of no confidence, call snap elections, form a new majority coalition, or continue as a minority government. The best GNU Can only be achieved when the power for executive positions is eliminated.. THE PROBLEM Here surfaces the issue of Coalition government, or coalition cabinet, is a government where political parties enter a power-sharing arrangement of the executive. This is one of the reasons complete transformation to GNU fails.. Why...because the Former''s Political ideology still lingers. Only two perfect options to perfect GNU....In considerations of current Constitutional instruments, are Let All parties be represented in the Executive by their ELECTED Vote percentage. WITHOUT Consultation as people are said to have Spoken. Secondly and Lastly...let All Executive positions be applied for and Vetted by Parliament...No MP 's appointment to Executive possitions...All other inportant positions like of intelligence..police. defence...judiciary..let them be decided for by Parliament...not President..his duty just be to execute what the parliament pass as wholly debated laws and policies that are monitored by parliamet..
