The first thing they should have done is make it illegal for cruse ships to dock thereby ending that horrendous polluting industry.

14:05 I don’t think it’s a good thing that so many came out so quickly and backed Kamala. I love Kamala. Don’t get me wrong. I said in 2018 that she will be the first female president of the USA. But I wish we wouldn't rush into this. The reason Biden needed to leave was because of bad polling and that he didn't have a path to victory. So far Harris has not polled much better than him. Let's see if that changes. And I very much hope it will. But if it doesn't we need to be open to consider someone else. We don't need to rush into this and choose someone 5 minutes after Biden announced his departure. Let's do more polling and approach this rationally. We need to beat Trump above all else.

I align myself with Panyasa Lesufi’s request to the President assuming that the bill is constitutional, because most of the other bills passed during the 6th administration have been signed without seeking approval from DA, why this one should be subjected to approval by DA? The fact that DA has been allocated the Basic Education Ministry does not mean them over-ruling the President. The basic eduction for our children has been compromised for too long by our own ANC Government by failing to implement what the Constitution directs them to do!
