Chief Justice Raymond Zondo administers the oath of office to President Cyril Ramaphosa during the presidential inauguration at the Union Buildings in Pretoria on 19 June 2024. (Photo: Felix Dlangamandla) Tshwane Fire department have BEE suits. Ha Ha Ha. They wont need those with our honey buddies, the DA being part of the GNU.

Love this live commentary!
First it was Ramaphoria and now its GNUphoria. This thing will collapse within the first 100 days.
Most people see this as an opportunity to turn the SS South Africa away from the iceberg. Hopefully a genuine effort will be made by inter-party involvement and co-operation, to put our country on the path of recovery and growth for the benefit of all. SA Inc has amazing (unrealized) potential
I'm greatly relieved that we haven't descended into widespread violence or a power grab/coup as so easily could have happened but we are far from out of the woods. I've little hope of the great and good deployees of the glorious liberation movement being able to break their gravy addiction and fully expect that as and when its supply comes under threat they will fight tooth and nail to protect it. They didn't struggle to be poor after all. I'll start celebrating hard when and if senior members of the looterati have spent time in jail as that will be proof positive of the fact that we've turned the corner.
I certainly cant disagree, however I was expecting a worse outcome with this election so remain cautiously optimistic, being a die hard saffer and never wanting to give up, despite the lessons the last 30 years have taught us. Today's exchange rate lifted my spirits somewhat even if temporarily.
Not too excited yet - will not trust any speech made my Cyril
I couldn't agree more. Dollar couch guy is an accomplished spinner of fantastical tales. I stopped taking pretty much anything he said at face value at about the time of Marikana. I wouldn't trust him to do anything more important than recording bedtime stories for kids under the age of 10.
Consistently when faced with the choice between country or party, the ANC has mostly picked party. We will see.
I am hoping we have reached the point where the ANC's existence in its current form has been threatened enough by these elections for them to realize that they seriously need to mend their self serving ways to have any worthwhile future. We can only hope.
Ramaphosa has been a coward since 2017. He refused to cross swords with members of his own party in return for their support. He now has access to a lot of support from his GNU partners and can spread the load. Will he realise that if he doesn't take this baton and run with it we are all doomed?
Let's see if he denounces the Natnl Democr Revolution (commitment since 1962!) & apologizes for ANC's horrific People's War deaths! ANC Sec-Gen. Mbalula spoke v much of NDR, over the w/e. Where/what are Zille's comments on PA in the GNU? Will a NPA drive be realized thro' this GNU?
I make a solemn commitment to be a President for all South Africans’ - OK then stop wearing the Kaffiya!
Excellent point!
Ja, By now, I think everybody gets the point. The ANC has taken Palestines side in that war. Lets move on and use the current opportunity to show true leadership for SA, starting with jailing a few crooks. Although Cyril has proven spineless these last years, he has the backing of the DA now.
Mr President you have an historic opportunity to undo the harm done by the appointment of the wrong people into positions of power. SA has competent people but they were ignored. Please appoint them now from the various parties. Police-PA. Education,finance,transport,water,small business-DA/IFP
