@infoAICD Endorses the DA in the 2026 LGE. 3 Reasons:
1) JHB can only be saved with world class local government.
2) CoCT can’t risk a “luxury” vote on side issues that risks DA government on the core issues.
3) SA needs to send investors a sign of hope.

Rural Shock Loading for ANC? Rural votes have usually saved the ANC. Polls are focusing on the metros. Some anecdotal evidence suggests that the ANC could be facing problems in towns and rural areas.

“Luxury” votes can kill CoCT. Capetonians need to stop worrying about culling baboons and NIMBY issues - this development or that development. Wait until the DA, with all its flaws, is not running CoCT. Then it will have real concerns the rest of SA has. Sensible people need to get out and vote.

This is not to say that the DA in CoCT doesn’t have real issues to address like any world-class city, but it is a world-class city.
Normally, residents should use the ballot box to show their concerns. But in CoCT this currently risks more serious problems. Rather support DA figures who can solve those problems.

@infoAICD Endorses the DA in the 2026 LGE because Johannesburg is one of the largest cities in the world without a major river, lake or coastline. Gold justified pumping water uphill from the Vaal and Lesotho. Mining → manufacturing → services economy → Major agglomeration. Don’t fix the services and the agglomeration goes.

Is the ANC's 'Big Tent' about to collapse? An ANC collapse may be imminent leading to the DA becoming SA's largest political party. CR17 needs a large loyal block of votes to keep him in power. He won't find it in his own party. timeslive.co.za/sunday-times…

Happy Workers' Day or Blessed Feast of St Joseph the Worker!
Today we honour not only workers, but work itself—sanctified through the hands of St. Joseph and instituted by the Catholic Church in the midst of the struggle against Communism.
While at one stage there was a lot of talk about civil war in the US. That is very unlikely. Nothing like the conditions that led to the Civil War exist. What did happen was the reconfiguration of the two-party system.

Memos to Elmo 1 : Those figures on Presidential Assassinations you wanted. 1/4 by actor who shouted "Death to Tyrants", 1/4 by person opposed to Pro-business President, 1/4 by disgruntled potential federal employee. 1/4 by Pro-Soviets. 1 in 4 odds ain't that bad. 😘DOGE.😀

Violence, and serious violence, not civil war, is likely. Already breaking out with the Thompson killing. Rumours about Elon wearing Kevlar vest. nitter.cf/Pinko69420/status/1896…

The Presidency didn't announce the BELA Act coming into force on 24/12. Today, over a dozen posts about Gauteng visit. ANC scared it becomes a 10% party in Gauteng? That would be lower than the 25% in CoCT. nitter.cf/PresidencyZA/status/18…
Under its #G20 Presidency, South Africa seeks to provide strategic direction in establishing a more equitable, representative and fit-for-purpose international order, in-line with the main multilateral processes under the United Nations.

@John_ForemanCBE A clever bit of subtle politics? nitter.cf/John_ForemanCBE/status…

You have to take Meidas Touch with a grain of salt. During the Trump trials they tried to convince the public about the Trump "smell. Not making that up. The Paranoid-Style in American Politics (PSAP)™️. But Meidas looks like the cat that got the cream.

Deeply disappointed in Michael Shellenberger's take which treats geo-politics like a schoolyard and sounds like nobody loves me everybody hates me I am going to eats some worms most probably explains the cultural clash we saw in the Oval Office. nitter.cf/shellenberger/status/1…
Healthy relationships depend on mutual respect. Ukraine and Europe don't respect us; they look down on us. America never had any obligation to protect Ukraine. And now we're asking why we should continue to spend our money, and put our lives on the line, to protect Europe.

@CyrilRamaphosa You have got to give Pres. Ramaphosa last week's "accentuate the positive" award. A stinging political defeat that has strengthened the DA is an opportunity for greater "understanding". Gotta love the Prez. nitter.cf/cyrilramaphosa/status/…
The events of last week present us with an opportunity to raise the level of understanding among South Africans around the budget and what it means for them.

@RorateCaeli While the AfD is very unlikely to be in government they may exert a gravitational pull on policy on migration. Foreign policy will likely stay pro-Ukrainian and co-ordinate policy with European partners. nitter.cf/RorateCaeli/status/189…

What is at stake now, again and always. There are many things worse than war.
