Not sure why you think the Netherlands and South Africa are the same, when the financially educated know that Netherlands Central Bank, De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) is a public limited company incorporated under Dutch law. The Dutch State is the sole shareholder. Meanwhile, the BILLIONAIRE OPPENHEIMER EMPIRE founded, owns and controls the SOUTH AFRICAN RESERVE BANK as a PRIVATE SHAREHOLDER COMPANY along with Anglo American, while they forever orchestrating the rigged ZAR currency into junk status for IMF insurance bailouts in the corrupt SA economy, while at the same time the ZAR currency is tied to the economic hitman currency US dollar which is why South Africa uses US Policies. I as a high income tax paying South African residing in Hong Kong knows very well that the Oppenheimer Asia Limited has been in Hong Kong for over 140 years as stated on their website, along with their headquarters in New York. It's nice to blame the black government when you're too financially uneducated to know who owns and controls the South African economy through a privately owned Central Bank. PATIENTS IS A VIRTUE when you're ignorant thinking the PRIVATELY OWNED South African Reserve Bank and ZAR currency is your savior, meanwhile the educated world knows that South Africa is a slow-cooking pot with trillions of IMF insurance bailouts for international investors if a civil war breaks out. South African Inc. has always been listed as asset portfolios for your white-monopoly who have international safety nets prepared for the US dollar global crisis.

Actually, they want to drop the number of cabinet ministries. The DA wants key ministries to exercise oversight and deal with the massive levels of corruption in government. The only reason some in the ANC, MK, and EFF don't want the DA in government is because the DA will combat corruption. The reality is that massive government corruption has a black face...not a white face. That is why the race card is being played.

[@TommyMarxable]

We need to stop talking about these ministries as though they belong to the parties. They belong to the people who voted for them, that's what proportionality is about, the DA is asking that their voters get proportional representation.

Got to love democracy in action when there is no longer a singular monopoly over power. Belgium went through more than a year trying to form a coalition government. Still teething in SA. Ofcourse politicians will be politicians and claim to represent their constituents interests rather than their own. However when it comes to some in the opposition in SA, even some with in the ANC. I think we need to still give them time and a chance to work out a deal. And let us not be surprised when politicians go pull sketch politking at us.

The arrogance of the DA is a direct consequence of the behaviour of black leaders, leaders of MK, PA, EFF, IFP & ANC inability to find each other for the sake of the Black child😢

[@sinosaffer8015]

Not arrogant, just smarter.

[@XPR2019]

@@sinosaffer8015 Nope! far from smart

[@Qhawe_Jameson.]

It's a disgrace. They couldn't just come together and work something out.

[@TheWhoopwhoop21]

ANC needs the DA more than the DA needs them! so they need to pump those demands up!

[@Qhawe_Jameson.]

@TheWhoopwhoop21 No, they actually don't. There's EFF and MK.

It's quite disturbing how all these political parties are consumed by politicking and they forget that their main job is to govern...to serve the people. Thanks Dan for this heartfelt video that conforms that the political process ruins progress and hurts people.

[@chaddasilva9082]

You state the ANC has twice as many votes as the DA but you also confused by the DA asking for 10 out of 30 ministries. Should the DA then ask for 15 positions then ? You are very confusing.

The MPs should not be paid nor the parties via salaries to Gov till a Gov is formed. Then I dont mind if they take years.. because it would not happen. If I had it my way after 1 month the parties should be paying salaries that they should be earning as a fine besides not getting paid too. Trust me it would be resolved before the salary run fails..

However long it takes I’m here for it. The ANC learnt its lesson.

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202]

They will never learn their lesson. Never.

[@GuyMcLaren]

I don't believe that it's about positions, it's about where they can make an actual difference

[@Kbyr083]

Relax….it takes time. It’s not only here.
