@conquered_youth@penuelist_ My point in short is we already have our Afriforums for black people we just need to choose which works for us and also there’s a lot of black parties to choose to work with
Question is can our civil organisations engage constructively with political parties like Afriforum does
@LeratoPillayZA She seems bigger than him because they aren’t in direct competition, the similar sentiments were there with Dudula until they decided to enter the election game and what’s worse is that they didn’t get exposed through national elections but by a by-election in their stronghold
@YOWRSTNYTMARE@lynne_ogilvy@Zoemkoena@lEsethuHasane Well actually no constitution was suspended as a state of emergency is a constitutional right for the President to implement, the President didn’t even consult or need to consult parliament on that
@BillyGoatak2n@joy_zelda Problem is y’all don’t read the constitution before you vote that’s why you create your own imaginary rules if his party is happy with him being there then what’s the problem it’s not like he’s serving in the cabinet or something like that
@joy_zelda Y’all forget that 43000 people voted for him to be in Parliament also one can only lose Parliamentary seat if they lost their party membership, are criminally convicted for more than 12 months, were absent from parliament without permission or if their party withdrew them
@SAMMY50277422@Julius_S_Malema Yes only 29 million people are registered to vote in a country where more than 40 million people are eligible to vote so there’s still a lot of people that still need to be registered
@lush1445364@Malome_ZA Well how does one vote if they aren’t on the voters roll, also when IEC registers people they scan the barcode on their ID, even when they vote they do the same way unless you trying to say that even IEC is working with these people
@blacksuspect2k@AdvoBarryRoux What bigger picture Zungula told them in that very meeting that if we were to unite it’s better we unite in EFF since it was the most stable in terms of its structures and national footprint as it was the only party amongst them present in every provincial legislature
@conquered_youth@penuelist_ Yet Afriforum is aligned with parties like DA and FF+ my problem with us black people is that once you are not leading you form your own organisation we already have our own multiple Afriforums like SANCO, Operation Dudula, March and March,etc.
@BafanaSurprise Crazy thing is non of y’all can point to a single instance where Ratanang had any kind of power in the EFF, while with Duduzane it seems y’all forget that before this he was in the Presidential Task Team
@mangi_cyril@MeshackBevhulas Floyd, their stance was to stay in EFF, very good, we shall see after the 4th of November since there hasn’t been any elections since that happened
@cataclysmza@vercingetorics Voters don’t care about any of that, take 2024 for example and ask yourself what was MKP offering to the voters through their manifesto and policies
