Yes we are being naaied good and proper.

Liberals, oh how I despise them!
Sitting comfortably in London, Washington and Brussels.

They told FW in 1990 :
"Hand it over".

Should have been a longer, more gradual, orderly transition.

If we are lucky, there may be an upside to the downside....

If NDZ is elected in Dec, huge capital outflows and rand depreciation is likely to follow. We will be forced to run to the IMF to borrow money.

An IMF loan comes with many conditions. This will include among others no radical economic transformation, no land grabs, much less scope to steal, careful watching of all state finances and much less ability to steal, a significantly reduced civil service, VAT hikes (rather than higher income tax) etc.
Maybe not the worst thing that could happen to us...

INL is I Never Learn the OP of this topic.

I'm not convinced winter is averted.
The biggest problem is the Top 6.
3 Zuma supporters were voted ie DD,Ace and Jessie.

Cyril's hand will be tied.
It's gonna be hard to recall Zuma.
Looks like it all comes down to who else gets voted in the Top 80 positions.

Think this vote although not a disaster not the Holy Grail we were looking for.
I see the ANC facing even bigger internal strife as these 2factions have almost equal support.
This will most probably hamstrung the ANC ebpven more.

Look out for more court cases etc etc.

Perhaps it's a good result for the opposition parties .
There is no way they will find common ground on any major issues let alone corruption.

Winter is still coming in my humble opinion.
A sunny day doesn't thaw all that ice....

I was seeing the most beautiful lady.

Please guys. Have a heart.



This has been a very close race. Fact is, Cyril made it. And on the anti-corruption ticket.

zuma must be packing already.

Mabuza is a cunt but his powers will be curtailed, and also look for all the tender shit that he was involved in to come out. His days as deputy pres are numbered.

Gwede will now have more to do, as he was hamstrung by zuma. Look for him using the whip to bring all into line.

Ace as secretary general : that dairy farm that paid for the guppies wedding will come back to haunt him. He will also fall as part of the anti corruption crusade.

Jessie is a zuma supporter, but never linked to graft. She has to be careful now.

Paul Mashatile : I like him.

That in short the Top 6.

Thank God for Cyril.

Fuckoff and goodbye to zumpoes

My short thoughts.

I am still basking in the afterglow.

Cheers

@INL: Like what you argued.
However, I am a bit more concerned/sceptical about how things in the Top6 will play out... Lets hope it plays out as you argued. And not result in some sort of chessmate where CR is unable to get rid of Zuma or able to start corruption investigations as he is stopped by Mabuza, Ace, Duarte...
