GNU | DA wish list: Mzwandile Mbeje weighs in

The DA wants 12 of 28 positions. As the second largest party in the GNU, it makes sense that they get at least 10 and anc 13, and te rest go to the smaller parties. You cannot say DA should have 5 out of 28 and the other seats go to other parties which are just ANC proxies. We have seen how aljamah waa given a mayoral position in Johannesburg with just one seat. Johannesburg is dysfunctional and gwamanda and the anc contues with corruption.

[@shafiyaalgiquadra1105]

In fact I think we ought to be given 15 posts! This aiming low is the reason why we are being offered so little in the end.

[@W.GlobalAffairs]

@@shafiyaalgiquadra1105 , let's speak as South Africans, not as factions in South Africa. As a neutral South African, it makes sense that the DA get at least no less than 10 seats. That is if we are to have a government different from what we always have. South Africans voted for coalition because they want a dilution of ANC corruption and incompetence, so, it only make sense that the ANC be diluted in significant way that as voters voted.

One of the reasons many problems couldn't be solved by the DA in the Western Cape in the past, is because those National Ministries/Departments were useless.

Their track record speaks for itself where successes are concerned.

Based on election results, ANC can only have 12 ministerial positions, while DA takes 6 out of 28. The remaining 10 ministerial positions can br filtered into other parties with a minimum of 2 seats in parliament, hoping that the extremes, that include MK, EFF and ATM, are left outside the GNU, since a strong opposition is required in parliament. ANC alliance, like COSATU, failed the ANC in growing the economy and the polls. Like Zuma, ANC marriage not working for him anymore hence he formed MK. ANC must also consider their fruitless marriages with their alliances since they have become liabilities. Almost 40% of registered voters did not vote, meaning that IEC failed in performing their work.
