[@CyrilMabela]

He is failing to justify why DA, which he admits is a white party was a better partner than eff. He is lying saying DA is good in governance in western cape. Anc is corrupt but DA r the inventor of white collar crime and racial exclusion. E.g. Rand Manipulation, inflation of property market in western cape. This guy is good in highlighting black failures but can't do de same with white failure besides saying the obvious. Tell us about state capture, fine, but analyse what replaced the Guptas, he is not a political analyst but a house negro, or Ramaphosa lite.

@@peacethabede6691 That kind of thinking is outdated-maybe it made sense 50 years ago, but today most people want to move forward and build a strong country for the next generation. The challenge is that some South Africans, both black and white, are still stuck in the past. Some white South Africans long for the country they once had, while some black South Africans want back what was taken from them. The reality is, if we focus on building a strong economy, we can all coexist and work together for a better future for our children. Personally, I don’t see the world as just South Africa; I see it as a global opportunity. That’s why I can sit at my computer, work for a company in New York, and get paid, while others are still waiting for land to be returned-without knowing what they’d even do with it
