Exactly... your article shows that we no longer use the MBB Bo-105 👇👇👇 below, that's the one the Philippines need

Lurker4Long:

God the rest of the country has to follow our lead in the Cape and kick out the ANC bums next year!

Lurker4Long:

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.

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.

Covert1:
In my humble opinion I see no light for Nigeria anytime soon. Not with injustice in the land.

Stormtrooper11:



Labour Party clearly won.

GreenOris:
In your dream, Peter stood no chance, he entered the race late and ignore the core north in his campaign, and one thing that brought him down is that most of his supporters are people that talk down on one Nigeria and call others derogatory names, but anyways what do i know

In a few decades, we will get there... we just need maybe 2 more 4000MW+ 💥 nuclear stations to complement the base load

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.

I'm not a DA member, but I had no choice to vote for them due to their track record in my municipality.

jl115:
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...

Lurker4Long:

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.

Lurker4Long:

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.

GreenandGold:


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.

jl115:
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

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.

The South African Navy has just 1 operational ship.

The SANDF is a mess from top to bottom. inefficiency, inoperable, Sloppy, complete and utter disorganization.

That's a fact, deal with it.


...by the way it's torpedo, not topidos.

Don't be butt-hurt, with your 1 ship!!

jl115:
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

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.
