GreenandGold:Hmmm...something fishy here. The fact that they're only looking for this chopper suggests a supplier has already been identified. Second, speaking under correction but I think all of the decommissioned SAPS Bo-105s were acquired by Paramount? Third, Paramount is doing extensive work in the Philippines. Lastly, Paramount has some form when it comes to dodgy contracts. 1 Like |

Lurker4Long: The ANC will get less than 50% of the votes, that's for sure. However, there's going to be a challenge with forming and keeping coalitions. The ANC could decide to team up with those noisy Red Berret people... Part of the agreements could be implementing their communist policies... ...but also, the Blue party of the Cape said they will not rule out a coalitions with the ANC as well to counter the Red Berret one.... It would be an unholy union... But what can we say. |

A novice reporter at The Economist once asked his supervisor how to write with the publication's "voice". The reply: "Write as if you're god!" That conceit lives on, with their condescending ranking of democracies from authoritarian to full.

How come nobody wants to post your new President-elect in Nigeria and potential Commander-in-Chief. Coming back to Nairaland after a while and actually surprised until now no one has. Is it the quiet in the land or the commentary we read from our fellow African brothers and sisters or the world. 2 Likes

Lurker4Long:I'm not a DA member, but I had no choice to vote for them due to their track record in my municipality. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by jl115: 8:47am On Mar 02, 2023 |
GreenandGold:less than 40% is looking likely, last year I was guestimating that they would receive around 46-47% but then I saw an internal ANC poll that put itself at 37%......and that was before the Andre de Ruyters bombshell... |

jl115:In provincial and national elections, I always vote strategically for the largest opposition party regardless who they are nor their policies; unfettered power is never a good thing. In local elections it always depends on the candidates. 2 Likes |

jl115:It's amazing how under-reported it was that the ANC's own poll put them at 37%. With coalition governments becoming the norm, we must amend the law to introduce things like minimum thresholds (5%) to formally participate in forming a govt. The chaos at municipal level, where a party with 0.86% of votes now has the mayoralty of Joburg, cannot be countenanced at provincial and national levels. 1 Like |

jl115: The coalitions will be what makes or breaks SA. The way its currently happening, I don't see it working well... Look at Tshwane and JHB Metro coalitions, they crumbled because the smaller parties were working for their own interests instead of working to fix their respective Metros. It is clear that the ANC bribed the smaller parties to swing toward their direction and boom the coalitions fell. I read that the DA was working to create a clear coalition policy for the 2024 election, however, the smaller parties are in it for the loot. 2 Likes |

Lurker4Long:local I always vote DA...simply because of how well my municipality is run... In 2019 I felt the DA shot itself and had to be punished so I wasted my vote on a smaller party |

Lurker4Long:coalition governments have not worked in any metro so far....that's my biggest fear for 2024 |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by jl115: 10:52am On Mar 02, 2023 |
GreenandGold:as much as it pains me to say it but a DA ANC coalition will be the only way to put SA on the right path again |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by GreenandGold: 1:01pm On Mar 02, 2023 |
jl115: I would take the ANC+DA coalition at any given day over the ANC+EFF one because we all know what that means... However, it will be very tricky... the DA would have to sit on some state ministerial positions where the ANC is currently looting... I fear for the safety of those DA ministers, imagine the looters being told they can't get dodgy deals because the DA minister does not play along, it opens a possibility for assassinations, especially poisoning. 2 Likes |

Let me drop this here. Only one of SA Navy’s four frigates operational; no submarines serviceable The majority of the South African Navy’s primary combat vessels are not operational, with the frigate SAS Mendi’s seaworthiness prioritised for Armed Forces Day and Exercise Mosi II. https://www.defenceweb.co.za/featured/only-one-of-sa-navys-four-frigates-operational-no-submarines-serviceable/ |

jl115:I'm happy with how they run Cape Town, but on principle held my nose and voted for the biggest opposition in the council, which is ANC. No party should ever receive more than 55% ever again. And with the DA at 67% in Cape Town, the arrogance of power has started creeping in. As for our ward councillor, we were not impressed and because many DA higher-ups live in the neighbourhood, it was made very clear to them that if he was the nominee, the Ratepayers Assoc would put up an independent candidate who would win. They transferred him to Parliament and we got a better candidate for whom I could vote. 2 Likes |

kabe1: That 1 Frigate, can sink all the ships in the Nigerian Navy, and shoot down all the jets in your Air Force... it would literarily patrol your waters unchallenged. You not having a single frigate or anti-ship missile is something you should worry about. 5 Likes
