The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts — Bertrand Russell

@ME_Beaumont @AtholT But he clearly says ActionSA decision is to first speak to the biggest party because it best reflects what the voters want. Why would you treat Jhb differently to NMB if not because of a personal issue with Helen Zille?

[Peter Bruce @Bruceps]

@AtholT shows how all democrats should behave... hope his boss stops making it personal...

[ActionSA @Action4SA]

ActionSA does not have a problem with the DA.

We have a problem with mayoral candidates like Helen and Cilliers that have proven incapable of coalitions.

The proof is in NMB, where ActionSA is close to finalising a coalition agreement with the DA and Retief Odendaal.

[Jordan Griffiths @JordiGriff]

Was the Rivonia Circle a big psy op to defund foreign donors who wanted to support democracy in South Africa?

Sure looks like it.

The ANC is in free-fall, but Herman Mashaba could hold the key to governing Joburg and Tshwane, writes @Bruceps https://t.co/Ag511zvlGB

[Nicholas Dawes @NicDawes]

This is a plausible, and hopeful, take that it would be interesting to test against post-election survey/polling responses

[Peter Bruce @Bruceps]

😂😂😂😂😂

[Pieter Du Toit @PieterDuToit]

Herman Mashaba and Michael Beaumont willing to agree to Nasiphi Moya for Tshwane mayor if DA agrees to dump Zille as its mayoral candidate for Johannesburg. https://t.co/PTVsHQcPs6

@Bruceps @SABCNews We are using handheld mics because the loud aircon at the ROC is affecting the sound quality

[Peter Bruce @Bruceps]

Why are all the @SABCNews anchors on the election using hand-held mics and why, in the results bar at the bottom of their screen, have they not mentioned ActionSA for two whole days now?

Good Morning America! Great to have you back

[Geoff @GeoffBrown82]

OMG 😂 . . . I don't always agree with James Carville, but I have to say that I wish I had done this video 😂 😂 😂. This is me today, and virtually every day for the past two years.

[Peter Bruce @Bruceps]

They shouldn't try and impeach him though. Much better for 2028 if Trump is there to the end as a reminder...

[Richard Calland @richardcalland]

Two words. Tells you what’s coming next. This chap will head the Oversight Committee, with a Dem majority behind him.

[Peter Bruce @Bruceps]

What a wonderful night for America🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
