I just watched a very interesting analysis on News24.

Of course he might just resign tomorrow and that's the end. But there are still ways it could go wrong.

He will have his day in Court tough, I agree. If the PP goes ahead with the charges.

I'm not so sure of this. I live and work in rural KZN, from among the folks who work here, they tend to say that they no longer support him and are happy to have CR as President.

DraadkarD wrote:So its definitely going to be tomorrow then?

The choice of using the word 'definitely' muddies the water a bit.

But yes, if JZ does decide to resign, it would probably only be tomorrow.

I just saw another interview with a political commentator, who made another worrying observation....

He's saying that the ANC recalled Zuma, without giving him clear indications as to why he's being recalled. In fact, in the press briefing Ace went so far as to state "president Zuma did nothing wrong". Which fits in nicely with JZ's question to Cyril, where JZ specifically asked Cyril "what did I do wrong".

So now the NEC is effectively answering that question by saying "you didn't do anything wrong, but we're recalling you nonetheless".

So JZ can then simply ask "so why are you recalling me then". Then refuse to resign.

If they had to bring up corruption and state capture as reasons, then half of the MPs must also be fired (including Ace, who drafted the letter and delivered it to JZ).

The ANC created a huge mess for themselves. They better hope JZ resigns without a further word on this matter.

I think this whole saga cost them a good 3-5% in votes in 2019. Even more if things go horribly wrong and the opposition manages to get parliament dissolved; we will then have to have an election within 90 days, which the ANC can ill afford right now. Even more so considering the fact that their attention will be divided between the JZ saga and campaigning.

You're back in KZN now? Lucky you if so.

Because I was a sales rep for just about the whole of the province, I've found he doesn't have much support South of Durban. Or even as far north as Umhlanga.

From around the Mandini area to Richardsbay, and inland to about Greytown, he still has massive support.

If Buthelezi handed over the reigns of Inkhata to a much younger, charismatic Zulu guy 15 years ago, things would've been very different today.

Is the twat gone yet?

Posted: **Tue Feb 13, 2018 5:18 pm**

During the briefing on the outcomes of Monday's urgent National Executive Committee meeting, ANC secretary general Ace Magashule confirmed the party's 'final' decision to recall President Jacob Zuma.

No specific deadline was given for Zuma to tender his resignation, although Magashule stated that the president "would respond on Wednesday."

So, we can sleep soundly again, safe in the knowledge that Our Pres is still firmly in the saddle ....

Live between Mkuze & Hluhluwe, proper Zululand. The Zulu's that I work with do not want him anymore. He seems very unpopular.

Good to hear about his popularity dropping.

So you're back from Zambia?

Whenever I see the name Hluhluwe, I'm always reminded of this joke:

Two Americans are in a restaurant in Hluhluwe, arguing about how to pronounce the name.

The two goes back and forth, with all sorts of weird and wonderful attempts, but they just can't agree on the pronunciation.

When the waitress arrives, they ask her in a thick Texan accent "Excuse me miss. Could you please tell me and my friend here, very slowly, how to pronounce the name of this place? "

To which the waitress responds "Sppppppuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrr"

Posted: **Tue Feb 13, 2018 7:11 pm**

My cousin, born and raised in Mandini, and can speak Zulu fluently (you wouldn't think it's a white oke speaking if you don't see him), to this day can't pronounce Hluhluwe without covering you in spit

Fair enough. Easy to say that nothing was going to happen in hindsight... I want die kinders to really experience SA for a bit, they've only been there on holiday for a bit.

They haven't even visited Gauteng which is the family background area. Bit sad, but as long as Malema and that lot stay away from power then maybe SA will be okay.

Bit of a drawback of the parliamentary system in general when you have one dominant party is it not?

Even more so when that one party puts itself ahead of the country, and the individual members are not allowed to vote outside party line in something like a motion of no confidence.

That's the norm everywhere, and putting party ahead of country is also rather common - see Cameron's decision for calling a EU referendum.

As a dramatic raid is carried out on the Gupta family’s Saxonwold compound, City Press has learnt of the imminent arrest of at least two Gupta brothers as well as Duduzane Zuma.

I wonder how will this affect Zuma's Zexit decision.

It really piles on the pressure. But maybe Jacob will feel that, as no. 1, he will not be subjected to such treatment ...

Who knows what goes on in that twisted mind ?

A source has confirmed to News24 that one Gupta brother and a business associate have been arrested.

According to the source, arrest are imminent for other family members.

I don't think Ramaposa will take over as president. Parliament has to vote in a new president, and I think the ANC will nominate a woman as a candidate to serve as president of the republic until 2019 elections. I think if Ramaposa takes over right away, he will not be able to stand for the 2023 election.
