What?
Lol

Mandela is probably spinning so much in his grave at the state of the ANC that if they wrap him in copper wire he can single handedly solve all of South Africa's power issues.
Nah he had years to run the show and it didn’t got better.
You sir just invented the Mandela Coil, powerful enough to power all of Africa.
@@zurielsss It did objectively get better under him though. As the video points out, problems started under Zuma.
Wouldn't work, someone would steal the copper.
@@zurielsss he did better than these clowns and most Apartheid governments.
"If the ANC does to you what the apartheid government did, you must do to the ANC what you did to the apartheid government" - Nelson Mandela
ANC MUST JUST GO REST IN PEACE
I love that quote so much
My favourite quote from Tata
I like the content❤
its surprising for me that black south africans will still keep voting for people like this zuma. why?
The fact that so many still support him even though South Africa's current problems starts to really get awful during his leadership is shocking
democracy works only with an engaged citizenry
Not so shocking for people who have lived there and interacted with those voters.
uneducated population + democracy = stupid leaders elected.
it's the same reason people support Biden or Trump in the USA. People get attached to a party or a person's personality cult
@@noahjohnson935 I would rather have either of them than Zuma. People generally get the leaders they deserve.
The good: The ANC is losing its stranglehold on power.
The bad: Zuma’s pushing it.
The good, again: Zuma won't win
Basically like Reform UK, an even worse option splits the vote and lets a less terrible option to win.
@@mildlydispleased3221 IDK, an ANC and EFF coalition is the stuff of nightmares
@@tiaelago-oretukaumunika7017 it sounds like he found a way to become very important to them as they most likely will go to him to form the coalition.
W8 Brit’s really don’t like EFF huh? Always attacking them for pushing for people’s liberation of past injustices that they’re still suffering under. Colonialist mindsets need to end
So many people in South Africa have lost faith in democracy as a whole. Zuma even being allowed to return shows how far gone everything is
At least South Africa is a democracy, many nations aren't
what democracy?!? African countries are mostly military autocracies
@@weiserwolf580not South Africa tho.
It's one of the only "stable" democratic African countries, and we barely even have a military
@@no_one_cares_bozo just because they have elections, you can't call what is happening there democracy, just like in the USA, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, when the mass media and the legal branch are controlled by politicians directly, there is no democracy anymore
@@no_one_cares_bozoone single party with overwhelming power doesn't really constitute democracy..... By that reasoning Russia isn't that far.

so vote EFF

@@alastairrosslee2383 how is EFF corrupt? EFF is the one with the solutions and fighting against both DA racist apartheid policy and ANC/MK political corruption

@@f-86zoomer37DA is not racist stop stereotyping that all white people in South Africa are racist bro
South african here:
This one's going to be absolutely hilarious. I'm here for it. First time the elections aren't pointless
Yoh, for real😂😂😂
Why are people over there still voting for the ANC?
Yeah it's actually quite refreshing that this is the first election since 1994 that isn't absolutely meaningless. Finally we have a chance at getting a proper government
We live in a movie. A comedy.
@@greyghost2492because they are scared of white people, to put it simply.
Zuma literally ran South Africa into the ground and now has the audacity to oppose the ANC (which has been and is horrible at the moment).
Zuma was trying to save South Africa 🇿🇦, for the benefit of the Majority
Zuma is the part of BRICS formation
Stop criticizing Zuma. You all know the truth that he didn't steal but he is painted black because all the rich guys running our country are scared of him bcos he wants the black South Africans to be prioritized economically. Most South Africans are open minded, they are not fools.
@@nonhlanhlashezi9403only thing he prioritised is his 20 wives and his big mansion. He's part of the ANC mafia and there now honour among thieves.
@User47HD Well, don't stress it's a norm for African man to have more Wives, the man proposed Nuclear everyone went Ballistic I wonder how you loving Load Shedding. Interesting people say he was corrupt, yet he owns no big business or his wife's. The reason his loved by the Poor is he was bringing balance between the poor and the Rich
As far as I'm aware, some of the statistics for an improvement in GDP and racial economic equalities are highly skewed, because rather than lifting the living standards of black people overall, a new super-rich black elite was created while most others were left in whatever degree of poverty they were in.
Caucasian ppl needa be expelled from South Africa
Improvement in GDP was due to the end of sanctions and boycotts.
It had nothing to do with the ANC.
Black poverty rates were ironically lower during apartheid than now. Black people were poor but now they're even poorer
Same story in Malaysia.
Government attempted to
rebalance and correct the economic disparity between the citizenry especially the rural and urban divide.
The program than started to increasingly take a racial lense especially when the citizenry consisted of migrants and natives.
The programs aims and implementation than took a turn from elimination of poverty among the citizenry and was increasingly seen from the angle of re engineering equity and equality between the races.
Instead of looking at the individuals income, it became a blanket system based on race.
Its end results are exactly what we see in South Africa. A grand old party that had enriched its leaders and members, endemic levels of corruption and Malaysia becoming one of the sickmen of South East Asia.
A fall from glory as an Asian Tiger Economy.
I knew white people would be livid about the positive stats of the anc, i knew it, very predictable bunch
The tree votes for the axe because it too, is made out of wood
At least white people got rich while being racist. 😂
Black people every time they start being racist become also incredibly poor.... Look at the countries that expelled white or Asians in Africa, South Africa and their songs..... And even Haiti were they killed everyone else (rightfully so in the last case but still a complete disaster now).
But you can be 100% sure that using some distorted reasoning it will still be your fault. 😂😂
Aka dumb racism 😂
True quote, however I think you're blind to how that also portrays yours and many other liberal views of the current political climate in South Africa. You probably see it as a bad thing being that you're a white western liberal, while many of us blacks, even in the west view their political climate as very VERY promising.
@@5islands What do you mean?
thats a very nice quote. I will gladly use it the next chance I get
As a South African I am confidently voting for DA, and I highly recommend fellow South Africans to do so. All our parties here are corrupt, however voting the second largest party while numbers for ANC are down is our only hope. I'm not too optimistic about DA, but we have to pick our poison.
I'm voting EFF.i just can't seem Africans thriving under a DA lead government
I don't think the blacks and coloured of CA would agree with you,they are sick and tired of DA .
Tbh, I'd just pack up and leave. It'll only get worse
The best-case scenario is ANC gets 35-40% of the vote and coalitions with the DA to avoid the EFF getting power and ruining everything. I don't think there will be a DA-led government, but there is that opportunity.
Sadly the DA will not Govern the country, even worse they will loose Western Cape. What Cyril and DA planned will not work
As a South African. The ANC have not lifted no one out of poverty, I'm a coloured, Black economic empowerment has only created a black ultra rich, nothing in the middle, until someone who wants to sort out Eskom and make South Africa better for everyone we are leading ourselves to be like Zimbabwe as media freedom is getting worse as well
Ur just spreading lies.between 94 and 08 .the living standards greatly improved . millions of jobs were created.south Africa has one of the most free media in the world.itd completely unbiased.whether it is DA,ANC or EFF politicians being interviewed
vote for Malema then and spread the wealth
@@bafanamahlatse1923 yeh we're not Zimbabwe yet but if we keep letting fools like Ramaphosa and Zuma and Malema control our country we're going to get there one day. No schemes were made for colored south africans and many of the educated white south africans left. We act like a first world country when 3/4 of our ppl don't have running water
@@rice4550 No I am not voting for Malema nor will I vote for the ANC or Zuma, if I vote I will probably vote DA, if we stop acting like a first world country when over half our ppl don't have running water and we have rolling stage 3 loadshedding most the time , we will forever be stuck failing under the ANC. We are not Zimbabwe yet but if people like Malema, Ramaphosa and Zuma are in charge we will get there sooner. We can't expect to do well when all the educated ppl in our country left or are leaving and why wouldn't you. We have a really shit government and we only have choices of a really shit governments.
@@bafanamahlatse1923 funny how you discount anything since then which is most of my life. They only emerged amongst certain people and no not all poverty in this country is black. Look at the cape flats or coronation park near Joburg
It's sad to see that there are a lot of people who are seriously considering Zuma's party and now his apparently gonna run again. The man was responsible for state capture being as bad as it was, he did literally nothing to combat the electricity crisis when it first started (loadshedding does not count). The ANC isn't any good either.
None of the other parties have been convincing enough at least for me to want to vote for them too .
The ANC has destroyed the country under Cyril ramaphosa
What exactly are you looking for from other parties then? We have more credible parties than ever before. We have DA, and if you don't like them, we have Mashaba at ActionSA, Maimane at BOSA. I don't like them, but even Zibi with RiseMzansi wouldn't collapse the economy. I think we in South Africa are a little spoiled for choice. Don't forget, in many countries, they only have like 2 parties to choose from. I can promise, most people don't agree 100% agree with the party they vote for. But because we have so many, we maybe look too hard at trying to find a party that aligns 100% with our views.
My recommendation is in this election, prioritize, and select an issue you want improved. For me it's jobs and the economy (which in my opinion, will also improve issues such as crime etc). By only looking at jobs/economy and ignoring everything else I have narrowed it down to DA or ActionSA. If immigration is #1, probably ActionSA and Patriotic Alliance. If education is #1, probably BOSA. We will have future elections to debate and carve out exactly what we want, but for now, vote for what is most important to you, and ignore the rest
I agree. Zuma and ANC are one in the same. Vote EFF they are the solution
Vote actionsa
@f-86zoomer37 are you south African?
As a south african I am terrified
Feel like a waste of a nation.😢
Hey this is what you wanted
As a fellow south african I feel the same.
you get what you vote for...
I'll be in Tbilisi when the votes are counted. I'll be back in Helderberg weeks after the results are finalised. Gonna be fun!
The rolling blackouts started in the 00s already. It's because the ANC didn't build additional power stations until the country was already running out of power.
Although the forest was shrinking, the trees voted for the axe because it’s handle was made of wood.
Brilliant
The fact that zuma is allowed to run again with a criminal record is so embarrassing for south africa and the continent as well.
As a South African, Im so glad there is a video about this. The whole of South africa is buzzing for the upcoming election, we are all so hopeful for change.
like eff ?
@@prateekmahapatra1789 EFF agenda is basically "How to destroy an entire country as quickly as possible". Them getting elected is a doomsday scenario
@@prateekmahapatra1789We don't really know what's next. But, Ramaphosa likely won't work with the EFF. He is too ideologically different to work with them on a national level.
@@prateekmahapatra1789 i hope
those potential coalition partners definitely sound...interesting
I honestly think an ANC-DA coalition is more likely than an ANC-EFF or ANC-MK coalition. ANC policies are more similar to DA than the other two
ANC and DA won't work. I think IFP will do
DA is already in a coalition with more minor parties
The DA would never. And the ANC doesn't have any policies.
@@Khado819IFP is losing votes to MK also
I think so too. Most political analysts agree with this as well
If the MPC-block of parties can take advantage of the MK/EFF splitting the ANC and also take ANC votes for themselves, then things will get interesting. Hopefully the MPC can get a majority to keep the ANC, EFF and MK out of national- and some provincial governments. Otherwise it will be a disaster for our economy.
The MPC will not get a majority, the DA has been using right-wing rhetoric and there has been a black exodus in the DA, also add how the DA has been complicit in the condemnation of the Israel genocide in Gaza, on top of that the DA cozying up with the US majority of black South Africans I myself included do not see the DA or any other party in MPC as a viable alternative. Remember also, Zuma garners a lot of the Zulu support which I happen to be one. The IFP, which is the second biggest party in the MPC gets most of its votes from Zulu people which from what I have seen from my Zulu we will not be doing this year, so yes the MK party is very big threat in KZN at least. I hope that it will win the province and have significant sits in the nation assembly as well.
That would be nice but it currently looks like the MPC won't make 50%.
Let's hope the voters wake up in the next few weeks and give them a chance.

The GDP increase between 1993/2007 was largely a result of International sanctions on SA being lifted, SA bank accounts in other countries being unfrozen and 100's of Billions of International aid flowing into the country.
U sound like an idiot.in 94 the economy 150 billion.so U think there were bank accounts that more money than the whole gdp .does that make any sense
R800 billion was lost under Ramaphosa in one month and government employees never got a salary raise for four years and we were told the money was fixing Eskom but the rand kept quiet.We had no electricity for the whole one year and the rand kept quiet.The banks fixed the rand and it kept quiet. Parastatals were all sold to private sector and closed down and the rand kept quiet.When Zuma wins a court case and the rand starts ailing .We are not kids.
The Rand manipulation thing was debunked already. The courts literally threw out the case because there wasn't enough evidence to even proceed with a trial. And the Rand hasn't kept quiet over loadshedding and Eskom. It's predicted that loadshedding is costing the SA economy around 5% per year. Loadshedding is a long-term issue, not a sudden issue such as Zumas legal battles. So you comparing apples and oranges.
And what parastatals have been sold? Eskom which they promised to split and privatized hasn't been, the SAA deal fell flat, the Durban port deal never went through, Transnet is still publically owned...
@@marcushenning3594 Ever since Ramaphosa came in all evidence pertaining to cases that involve him and ANC has dissapeared and you dont have to ask why.What president doesnt get negative news for the whole seven years in power? Ask yourself
@@Technology24 I'm certainly not here to support Ramaphosa. Phala-Phala never even got investigated because the ANC in Parliament voted to not even look into it. So I agree the ANC and Cyril are as corrupt as can be. I'm merely suggesting that there isn't a great conspiracy against Zuma. He helped destroy the country, so it's no big surprise that foreign investors sell Rands (making it lose value) at the prospect of him returning. I'm with you in wanting Ramaphosa out next month
Perfectly said he must step down now
UMkhonto Wesizwe is th last Stop for us black people
ANC want to see the poor be poorer and rich been richer
That was a surprisingly good take on the situation here. Foreign coverage of our elections are usually very shallow and doom and gloom in my opinion. I expected the same here but you covered all angles well for such a short video.
Yeah , but they couldn't resist the clickbait title

Those good standings Economically were government of THABO MBEKI
He saw how much trouble malema and Zuma were going to be but he failed to stop them😢
So was the delayed HIV/AIDS response
This is why I emigrated and just visit SA for holidays. I can enjoy her beauty without having to actually live through the problems.
One of the biggest problems with South Africa is that its leadership is very, very old. (Yes, the USA isn't the only country with that problem.) Ramaphosa is over 70, and Zuma and Mbeki are over 80. These were all guys who knew and worked with Nelson Mandela to help overthrow apartheid, and that's how they made their reputations, but that was A LONG TIME AGO! Most of these guys were educated in Soviet Russia and other Eastern European countries back when the Cold War was still going on, and, unfortunately, most still have that mindset. Probably more so than any other country, even the USA, South Africa needs a new, younger generation of leadership to step up. One without the apartheid-era/Cold-War baggage. Now is the time for generational change.
Transitions are always ugly and painful in the short term.
Ugly transitions have now been the norm in the USA since 2016
The EFF probably sounds like the worst possibility they could have
Why? I personally dont agree with their support for russia, but all of their domestic policy proposals seem pretty good for the south african lower and middle classes
@@znyooom forcing large farmers to give up land will threaten trust in the economy by investors.

The majority alive in South Africa today will keeping voting for ANC as it was their liberators. It would be hard (but not impossible) to find people going against Mandela albeit posthumously. But as the voting population grows with the born-frees, I see it changing.
I doubt that.
South Africans have never voted Majority anc in the past 10 to 15 years.
Most people tended to not vote at all.
Pretending that thos people don't count is dishonest.
No decent thinking South African should consider following Zuma's MK because Zuma's is the grandfather of many South African issues we are facing today, corruption, youth unemployment plus FeesMustFall, loadshedding and the list goes on that cannot fit in the comments textfield
The last 2 years of Jacob Zuma there was no loadshedding
Zuma is responsible for a lot if chaos himself ffs. Why kn earth would you vote for that moron?
Bits of the information in the video is correct but broadly misplaced, the researches and writers did not do a great job here!
No.. it was Robert Mugabe who said he'll be in power until Jesus comes back, not Jacob Zuma
So is there any good part?
Nope
Yeah, at least it’s not your country being run by the corrupt and incompetent thieves of the ANC (unless you’re South African, then there’s no hope)
Leaving, if you can afford it. I can't
Yes. Vote for a Multi-Party Charter member. Voter registration weekend seems to have gone quite well for them. There is hope.
Also, if all else fails, if MPC don't get enough votes, which is more likely than not, my hope is that the MPC makes a deal with the ANC, to keep them in power without the EFF and MK, but in exchange, sign the Devolution of Powers Act, giving provincial governments more power. That way, if Gauteng and KZN fall out of ANC hands, the MPC can have more control over our major provinces. Seems more likely than making Floyd Shivambu finance minister like EFF are asking for 😂
The Multiparty Charter, a collection of parties aimed at unseating the ANC, as well as new parties that appear to be good like Build One South Africa and Rise Mzansi
Good analysis. However, you did not even once mention the MAIN opposition party, DA.
I didn't notice that, but that's actually true 😂. The party with almost double the votes of MK's projections, yet they don't even get a mention
Odd decision. I was waiting for an explainer what that party was since it's also in the thumbnail.
@SirFaceFone yeah it's the Democratic Alliance, a centrist party, who stands alone in a crowd of far-left socialist and communist parties. There are a few new moderate parties contesting these elections, but because they are new, nobody knows how they will perform, and so they dont appear on many polls.
But the DA is for South Africans who know that the socialist ideals of the others make us destined for failure. They currently run the Western Cape province (where the city of Cape Town is located), which is why it is better run and the tourist hub of the country
I saw that. So odd
Yes because everyone likes to use Zuma and Malema’s names for views even though they aren’t as popular as the DA. Non-South African media won’t report on the DA because it doesn’t display the swart gevaar narrative they want to push
The ANC was political party started in 1912 to give Africans a voice in politics in the newly formed Union of South Africa, long before Mandela came into the picture. Either than that a good video.
As a South African, I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place. Very hard to decide how to vote. Some parties are a clear no-go though.
Zuma kinda destroyed South Africa
How is he even in the running
Do you wanna check South Africa’s average IQ.
@@lucianogardelli1072 for those that didn't feel like looking it up
Well... its the same in many countries. People will continue to vote for parties that does not deserve our vote. ANC has had 20+ years and have failed at every stage
If the ANC lose a majority nationally, they will need to go into coalition with the DA to get south africa out of its decline, but the likely hood of this happening due to racial tensions is unlikely, any other party will ruin what chance south africa has to get out of its troubles.
Hearing the word ‘corrupt’ in this video is a true reflection of South Africa’s economy
No party can be in power uncontested for so long without starting to be a cesspool of corruption and incompetence. A parliamentary system is supposed to make different government coalitions possible. Regardless of what I think of the new party (Zuma is responsible for the downfall of South Africa) it is important for power to change
EFF is the way to go. I love Malema's message
@@f-86zoomer37 bullshit it is.
The DA & the MPC are the only way for good change. South Africa will stagnate under the ANC. The EFF & MK are WAAYYY more corrupt & authoritarian than even the ANC, they're bloody insane!
Ramaphosa is pronounced with the P sound, not the F Sound.
Who cares?
He doesn't deserve any respect
Doesn't matter. He is foreign.
Can you pronounce Jys n Dom Poes?
Arrogance, no respect
RamaPoesa. Happy?
Very well compiled and presented video! I'm from SA and it's (sadly) accurate the way you have outlined her current situation. I might only add that just yesterday 20 May the Constitutional Court (our highest court) ruled that Zuma in fact cannot run for parliament, so it will be interesting to see how that affects MK's votership
If MK wins and inplements forced redistribution of land, say goodbye to South Africa's agricultural output. Zimbabwe 2.0 anyone?
If you want to understand MKP mandate follow then instead of making false claims
6:21 WTF??
What sort of policy is that?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Robert Mugabe policy
Their basically a communist party, so it makes sense they'd have blind love for Russia.
This video is biased against the EFF
If you want real EFF policies go look at their manifesto
Non of those polices TLDR said are in the EFF Manifesto
@@anohh33Okay. No sane party will have such as manifestos 😅
So the ANC are terrible... and the alternatives are even worse. So South Africa is completely screwed.
South Africans who called Zuma an anomaly must face the reality that this country’s pathologies run deep.
MK will be big here in KZN only. Nationally they will be a blip. I'm not worried about them. Would be great if ANC gets below 40%
Slight correction: the IEC is appealing to a higher court. Going straight straight to the Constitutional Court.
Things had already fallen apart by 2004. The endemic corruption had started to take root, and affirmative action was a massive cover for stupidly grand scale corruption squared.
Eh, things were decently well before Zuma, progress was slow but the country was improving. Zuma fucked it up, this election is kind of now or never for South Africa. If the DA get into power there might be a better future ahead, but if things continue or the EFF get in, the country is doomed
@@RMProjects785 I think you misunderstand the nature of BBBEE and cadre deployment: it's how the ANC is funded. It's got diddly squat to do with empowerment. If anything, that would be a bonus effect if it even happened. A pineapple from Swaziland could have been president between 2009 and 2018, and we would still be here.
Arms Deal ring a bell? Demise of the Scorpions? Sarafina? Waymark Infotech? The non prosecution of Winnie Mandela for child murders? These weren't accidents. I would recommend Dr Anthea Jeffery's two books 'People's War' and 'Countdown to Socialism'.
To say the ANC and the country was destroyed by one man is wishful thinking of the highest order, and not consonant with reality.
You should also mention that Zuma is a Zulu and has strong regional support with Zulu voters. So MK will get votes from ANC but mostly in Zulu areas.
Good analysis!
Great video guys, but who does your video editing ? I'd like to use their services !

The EFF isn't sayong take land from white farmers, no no no, the EFF is saying take all the land (even the new "elite black class")
ANC incompetence started at the beginning by neglecting energy grid expansion. South Africa had a robust energy grid when ANC first took power, but it mainly supplied power to white communities. The ANC expanded grid access to previously neglected communities, but failed to update or expand the amount of coal plants.
The energy grid issues are the primary issue with their economy, and will only get worse at the current rate as the country tries to swap to green energy.
Obvious decrease of vote from ANC
The ANC-EFF-MK coalition government is going to be something to behold.
They cpuld make SA into the new Zimbabwe, or at least make it one faster

The electoral court didn't rule on a constitutional basis. The electoral Commission has appealed to seek clarification at the constitutional court regarding the arguments they made in the initial case
Yes but it almost certainly won't be heard by ConCourt until after the elections. So from a election standpoint, it makes little to no difference
@@marcushenning3594 I belive it will be if the matter isnt resolved before the election. Some parties will pursue it in my view
Our only hope in South Africa will be if the ANC forms a coalition with Democratic Alliance instead of MK or EFF, or else we will be Zimbabwe 2.0 in a couple months time.
If the DA can convince the ANC to sign the Devolution of Powers Bill and give more power to provinces, in exchange for DA support in National Assembly, we MIGHT see an improvement, at least in non-ANC provinces. The Western Cape and City of Cape Town will continue to improve, and hopefully KwaZulu Natal can switch to a DA-IFP coalition. Time will tell, but we in for a stressful couple of months
yay
Noo
Cyril Ramaphosa's last name is pronounced with a P-sound.
He's been doing this for so long. I don't know why he hasn't been corrected
Ramap*es, more like
Doesn't matter. He is foreign.
Can you pronounce Jys n Dom Poes?
@@user-ez9en7vk2z I can even spell it better than you "Jy's", as in, "Jy is". Jou taalgebruik van Afrikaans laat veel te wense, tjom
@@johannesstephanusroos4969 get with the times Boomer.
You guys should cover the Multi Party Charter for South Africa's elections this year. It is a Grand scale coalition to unseat the ANC. The biggest opposition party, the DA, is also involved in this charter.
Yeah I was a bit surprised it didn't come up. Nothing to boast about compared to the election in 2019 but so much has changed in the last 5 years...
"That is why we will rule until Jesus comes back."
What a crazy thing to say
Sick analyses
Zuma said that “the AMC will stay in power until Jesus comes back” the very day I was born😮
MS-vv7wf it's now your duty to save South Africa, lol
3:44 it's Ramaphosa not Ramavosa. Pronounced kinda like this Ram-a-phosa. - I'm not really sure how to explain it in creater detail.
Ramavosa is his new name
South Africa is not Cape Town.
Damn
What about Democratic Alliance? How are they benefiting from this? They are the second in line.
They r at 20 percent
LOL 😂 no way they are gaining Power
The DA is allergic to being liked
Zumba is Africa’s Trump 😂
Correction: Trump is America’s Zuma.
Hopefully
SA is a movie I've been meaning to cover this election waiting for it to play out
I wish you had watched just one single video that showed how "Ramaphosa" is pronounced.
Sounds like Ramaposa, not Ramafosa
Doesn't matter. He is foreign.
Can you pronounce Jys n Dom Poes?
They want to send weapons to WHOM????
Hamas-based
Russia-😒
@lewisbaitup6352 is there any proof of that
@@bafanamahlatse1923 here's proof that they would've been willing to give weapons to Russia ua-cam.com/video/23qMhrBlu6A/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared I'm assuming this attitude would carry over to Palestine to, which I think they're more likely to give weapons to because Palestine needs whatever they can get their hands on so would be much more interested in that weapons support than Russia would be.
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not South African or an EFF expert afterall but from the bit of searching I've done it does look that way and supports the video's claim somewhat.

So Soutb Africa has effectively been a One-Party State for 30 years and the problems are starting to show?
The US has effectively been a Two-Party State for about 150 years, do you think that'll be a problem?
Hi
Chaotic is a completely over the top description… David Cameron returned to politics as a member of cabinet… that is a strange, but is it chaotic? Interesting permutations, but not chaotic… elections are highly contested across the world. Not chaotic.
I hope DA wins, for South Africa’s sake
This Zuma seems like a real go getter.
I wonder which poll you used that ranks DA second🤔
Imagine saying i cant go back to prison because their too many gangsta in there 😂😂😂
A coalition government seems inevitable.
If the MK sticks to it's anti-ANC stance and does not form any part of a coalition , then the most likely coalition possibilities are ANC/EFF (plus some minor parties if that doesn't make 50%) or a ANC/DA coalition.
It doesn't look like the DA plus other aligned smaller parties will make the 50% mark but we're still in an anything can happen phase.
It will probably mean nothing
It is not chaotic when you live here 😎
the ANC and EFF must go!!
Not a chance white boy.
DA must go first
@@anohh33 they have not governemnt and they are far more competant than the current administration.
If so why?
@@sladetuner8661 A party that serves white monopoly capital

Out of touch whith the average South Africans problem
"repatriation" is not the right word when describing the deprivation and genocide of the boers.
Repatriation means bronging foreigners back to their country
We can’t supply our own country with electricity yet we export 12601 GWh to neighbouring countries.
That time is now😅
6:21 Oh, seriously? Russia? Come on.
6:55 what is wrong with South Africa's left lol.
No idea. I hope there will be a non crazy and not crazy foreign policy leftist party in the future.
@@DGAMINGDEYou want us to be puppets of the USA which overthrows Leftist parties in government?
Yeah, MK is somehow reactionary left wing. The EFF are just bog standard MLs with a self created image problem
Unlike so many things in SA the elections are hardly chaotic. Hoping the South Africa Multi Party Charter can pull it off in the election. And if the W Cape gets more autonomy I'll be going home.
It's highly unlikely that the MPC will get over 50 percent.in the most recent election they got 33 percent.plud mk and the eff are not exactly decreasing in support
I wish there was more coverage on south america, especially Argentina, Chile and Brazil, and South Africa, and southeast asia
At least Milei has been getting coverage.
Ramaphosa is pronounced "Rama PO ZA"
But I'd be ecstatic to see ANC fall below 50% of the vote.
Rama fo' ZA? Damn, his name could be his own campaign slogan lol.
