South Africa has enormous potential. Holding the government accountable is the right way to go.
To quote a wise man
"There's an expiry date to blame your parents for mistreating you
There's an expiry date to blame your teacher for not motivating you.
There's an expiry date to blame your ex partner for leaving you."
Enough is enough with this
"Everything is apartheids fault!"
Im benny
All opposition parties want to cut budget spending as the ANC Cadres keep looting whatever comes in.
The ANC is desperate to remain relevant, thats why they're making all these dumb decisions. You can't fuck up the future of the youth with loadshedding then fix it by giving them farms they cant run.
GEE A CORRUPT LEADER & GOVERNMENT —- NEVER SAW THIS COMING!
Hulle moet hierdie krimeneel van die ANC, eff, MK, Actoin SA, SAKP 2 seconds gee om te dring.
This far left racist party is of course not populist 🤡 . Seems this journalist have big bias.
The DA isn't centre-right. It's just centrist/liberal. You've done this mistake several times.
I know it's easier to portray the main opposition of a centre left party as centre right (and vice versa) for ease of understanding sake, however in this case it's simply not true.
TL;DR: DA is centre (liberal) not centre right.
All SA needs to do to create income is train and employ ,at a very well paid standard ,a highly professional police force that helps curb crime. This will build confidence in investment.
Why they in a crisis, easy, because of their dishonesty and morality
MK/EFF are extreme left, ANC is far-left, and DA is center-left.
THE ONLY WAY TO LIFT TO PEOPLE IN POVERTY IS TO CREATE THE RIGHT CLIMATE FOR THE PRIVATE SECTOR
When there are no crumbs left. The roaches and rats eat each other.
The answer is simple…
Because they want to solve the problems with the same mindset as when they created it !!!!
ANC is a corrupt Communist organization. Stuck in the past.
Life is like the doors at the bank, if you dont close the door behind you, you'll never be able to open the door infront of you
private land being taken is true, there is a few cases open now where people just took over private land … legit ANC members caught selling plots of private land …
The ANC is finally being held accountable

Glad the true colors of the ANC is starting to show on international level…The world is seeing through their lies…
FYI, modern South Africa has 142 laws discriminating against ordinary South Africans based on the color of their skin…
"The left of center ANC…" They're communists its a little more than left of center lol
GNU is a suicide of the ANC but above all ANC is political bankrupt!?
You missed the part where the ANC is basically a mafia disguised as a political party.
Nothing will ever change, corruption is the main driver of Africa, from the taxi driver to the government, whoever gets in will just fill their own pockets, always happened always will, hows being bailed out by the Chinese going ?
Time to bring in some fresh material. Sitting behind a mic and parroting others' words makes this channel painfully dull. Also, let’s not forget—this government inherited the mess created by the ANC scammers and has been trying to find solutions. Did you even vote? Bet you didn’t.
The Black folks in power are looters (ANC) and their cadres are fleecing the economy and trying to cling onto power as they are loosing credibility. Not very well educated cadres who are clueless are still in power but their power is slowly being eroded. The MK and EFF are also delinquents that left the ANC for these parties who have totally messed up so they are all criminal organisations. The ANC was and still in a terrorist organisation as Maggie Thatcher once made a statement backing this. The economy was built on the hard work but previous apartheid government which was well managed but not a solution to our problems and things had to change. Its just reverse apartheid now as racial laws need to go like BEE. The ANC has never built anything ! They have broken down and fleeced all the parastatals. They will never get it right. Time for change.
Eminent domain is the power of the government to take private property for public use, with just compensation to the owner. It's also known as compulsory purchase or expropriation.
How does eminent domain work?
The government can take property for public use, such as new roads, courthouses, or subway systems
The government must follow due process of law
The government must pay just compensation to the owner
What is just compensation?
Just compensation depends on the value of the land, any damage to the property, and other factors
What entities can use eminent domain?
Federal, state, and local governments
Quasi-government agencies like airport authorities, highway commissions, and utility companies
When I left South Africa in 2003, VAT was 14%. It was the DA that caused Black South Africans. Before the US meddles in South Africa let them get rid of "Eminent Domain" practice
The DA is doing what it has to do. I think the ANC has a great opportunity to not lose face while repealing the policies that are destroying the economy, but they seem to still want BEE because it allows theft and EWC because it will allow them to steal land too. Its really sad as the Trump situation gives tem a way to say "We have to change our policies to save us from sanctions", sadly they are too deeply entrenched in the "Theft is life" ethos to want to change.
DA is not market friendly stop spreading lies
Tht 2% vat hike was out of the blue and absurd. The anc just keeps surprising
This was a reasonable and balanced video.
This GNU circus is already so deep in debt, I doubt anybody will chance to lend them more money. Raising VAT will make the poor even poorer. As a consequence more businesses will either have to cut staff or close their doors.
Their attempt to shame Israel failed, expropriation causes massive panic and BBBEE is long pass it's sell by date. In the process, they pissed off the white house and I doubt Iran or BRICS for that matter, will come to their aid.
For 30 years the anc have been pilfering funds from the fiscus, donor aid funds and state owned enterprises that they now have run out of options but to shift the burden on the tax payer who are already in dire straights because of the extreme cost of living. They should rid themselves of the bottom feeders in government first, who are being overpaid for having a job instead of doing work of substance.
It is no wonder then that Shell, Anglo American et al are "seeking refuge" elsewhere, ArcelorMittal steel plants closing down, adding approx 10 000 souls the the unemployed pool and civilians who can afford it are fleeing this cesspool.
It is time the anc realize their democracy pipe dream has been an illusion from the start.
Thank you for an objective approach.
If they stopped stealing and overspending on failed projects, we’d be living in paradise. These are a bunch of tertiary reasons making excuses for the primary problem.
Two parties arguing over a law in America is just politics but in SA its the government falling apart 😂
The anc and da are not really opposition, both of them are far left with almost identical policies
Are they still holocausting white farmers?
Problem is ANC doesn't collect Tax properly to start, neither do they collect electricity tariffs or water. They are lax on collecting from those who squat for free as they know the result would be an uprising. All that before knowing the ANCs uses the cash to fund luxury homes, vehicles, prime schooling at world class universities abroad, parties and then only then do they appease 1 or 2 people to give the remainder of the country hope.
1:17 the DA is centre right? This is news.
It's not just expropriating land, it's expropriating moveable and immoveable "property", which is why the U.S cuts the aid money as it violates the agreements.
AGOA is also in breach because the ANC is working on nuclear and weapons development projects with Iran and military training with China which is also in breach with the agreement with the U.S.
The ICJ case against Israel also adds fuel to the fire, especially when the ANC hosted Hamas leaders in SA. This has sent a red flag to the USA which has also led to their decision to cut funding.
The ANC was also broke before they took Israel to the ICJ, all of a sudden they got out of their debt and it is believed the money may have come from Iran with ties to the Islamic Brotherhood.
The U.S is also against the black economic empowerment and affirmative action laws as it favors the majority while violating the human rights of the minority, these laws failed the country as it allowed the ANC to steal from companies and tax payer funded programs, it did not benefit those in poverty.
The IMF does not want to give loans to SA anymore as SA owns them a lot of money and it seems BRICS partners are quiet about loaning money.
The State of the Nation address this showed exactly how well fed the ANC is. Go compare what Cyril Ramaphosa makes a year vs say the German Chancellor.
I do not support the so called land reforms. The "reforms" will result in private property owner's land being taken by the state without any compensation. Even in limited cases, this is still unjust. We should not fix one injustice by creating another. That said, I am not a conservative. I am a social democrat.
