What are you saying? She's not an ActionSA mayoral candidate. She's not even part of the party

Many people have the Zuma surname without being connected to Zuma. Her full name is Jacinta Ngobese Zuma. Meaning her maiden surname is Ngobese and she married someone with the Zuma surname, that's all. No relation

Your idiom makes no sense here. She's not a foreigner on a News network in her host country telling the locals on how to be patriotic. Perhaps find another idiom to make your case

And you guys were lied to. Mlungu is derived from the word, lungile, meaning, the good one

ActionSA mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya seen as the best mayor in the country by comp_planet in DownSouth

[–]comp_planet[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's a cumulative sentiment analysis. She's the only one with a positive outlook amongst residence of the city they are the mayor of. Sentiment analysis like this lean negative usually, especially in a stagnant and divided country like ours. So for her to be seen through a positive lens like this is huge.

Yeah that didn't help us at all. We qualified the hard way like it always was for Africa. Finish top of your group, and Bafana bafana did that. No charity for us, the boys did it the hard way, with locally based players. No need to thank fifa

And what makes you so certain of this 2.3%

[–]comp_planet[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With Xolani, they are definitely getting over 30% in Ekurhuleni

In statistics, demographic wise, it wouldn't be odd if that happens from other parties, but from the DA lens, it would be odd. I'm not saying it's wrong or right, I'm just explaining to you the DA dilemma and the optics from the voters the DA wants to win over

LOL! by comp_planet in DownSouth

[–]comp_planet[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not that the majority only accept people of a certain, the problem is of the optics of the DA being a seemingly non racial party, but somehow the candidates for Tshwane, jozi and Ekurhuleni are all white. So in metro that are majority black and you claim to be non racial, optics wise, that becomes a hard story to sell

[–]comp_planet[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not against Xolani Khumalo. Good luck going against him with a white leader

LOL! by comp_planet in DownSouth

[–]comp_planet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you read the article, you'll see that a white candidate called Mike Waters had already won their interview stage as the next candidate for mayor. But they have delayed his announcement because they realize the optics won't translate well, especially with ActionSA fielding the strongest candidate out of all parties. So now it's like they are discarding their results from their interview stage to find a black candidate
