It's amazing what government coffers can make you do. The ANC of the last 10 years has always had plans to remove someone. This all happens as the country's economic development spirals down. The country will get out of this mess as soon as the ANC sorts its house out. How do I get into politics without having plans afoot to remove somebody? ANC Politics - the hopeless arena of mortifying pugilism.

Surely you donot know Tswana Politics, Chief this woman is not that clever for this comrades, they planned this before she even set foot in that province. Supra is running that province and he has been running this province for nearly ten years now, he does not need to be premeir cos like Mashatile he already is running the province. SO is Supra are habore hwa!!! Thandi must save herself the embarassment and recall her self back to the House!!

Numbers are just numbers, cooked or otherwise.And you mentioned that she is DSG, correct, but the buck stops with SG Gwede. And still i maintain that she has no numbers which alway do not work when you are an CA. But in politics, its what determine the outcome cooked or otherwise.

Correct, the buck stops with the SG, after consultation with the NEC and the TOP 6, i'm sure you know that ANC is not a one man sure or spaza shop, where one just wakes up and say something... Supra may have numbers, but Thandi is superior and a senior to Supra... Take the case of Northern cape, where Block is the Chairman and is not the premier, Block had the numbers to be a premier, but the NEC chose Hazel, its part of the 50/50 gender.

Cdr 1tsotsi, i do not need to remind you that Thandi when deployed there NW with the blessing of top six and NEC, she was percieved as the messiah for the NW province.Once she relished the power, she forgot about the core mandate she was to perform there.Bring back the ANC to its values of people 's party.Thandi tasted the numbers when she alliened herself to Kabelo Mataboge 's numbers and they thought the would control NW. Remember how many time Supra was NW chair and he never became Premier? So, now that she realized that numbers are political determinats she feels the heat and that is why Kabelo cooked the ousting propaganda. And now that she can see tha numbers of Malema are fading she crues foul.

NC chair John has numbers, that is why he is kotowed left and rite by other numbers. Its numbers numbers and more numbers in politics.

if numbers were cooked by Kabelo,why is it that the ANC did the PGC audit and found that there was nothing wrong with the credentials of members that were there(chairpersons and secretaries of branches)?Listen and listen attentively,Supra has no numbers and the same numbers that you claim supra has are a rented mob

The only reason Supra is still chairperson of this province is by the fact he has promised the shower man his vote.KAPUT

So Supra uses a willing renter and a willing rentee mob? I see, looks like you have the pulse of NW politics and are a member thereof.I won't argue that, that also Supra had rented vote for double head. But i was just saying.Lest wait and see.

==========================
Sure cde, you see in her case, it was not about being her failing to unite the Province, it was cause of the sabotage by Supra, as he wanted to be the Premier since he was the chair. Thats why now he wants to oust her, coz his the chair of the province, but remember wwhats on the pertition will also have to go through Thandi at a special Top 6 meeting, so chances are supra will fail. also they will look at his role as a chair that what is it that his going to improve the province in unifying the ANC. Look at Nomvula and Paul, Nomvula is being romote controlled by Paul and Makhura, reason being Paul was over looked in favour of Nomvula by the spear.... My Point im trying to make is that Supra is a failure as a chair, he failed while he was a secretary, his a backstabber, whom anc should do away.. He does not know real politics, except to sabotage others to get positions. You cant put Supra in a same mould as Mathale, Mashatile, Soviet, Makhura and one political Level.

Hyenas tearing themselves apart to get at the carcass! If only they would focus on doing what they are paid to do, instead of this continuous power struggle. It is so debilitating to the development of this country, no respect!

The only way to prevent this barbarous behaviour in such an immature democracy is to have individually elected constituents, voted BY the people of that area/constituency FOR the people of that area/constituency. Deployed cadres do not work and is the primary cause of all this destructive in-fighting. It is blatantly obvious that this primitive political system needs to be changed as soon as possible!

Oh, just shut up! You do not know what is going on. ANC branches in North-West have already indicated clearly and overwhelmingly that they no longer want Supra Mahumapelo as Provincial Chairman, because he supports Jacob Zuma. Mahumapelo was saved by Gwede Mantashe and Jackson Mthembu but otherwise he no longer has any influence in the North-West. So Thandi Modise is not going anywhere.

I hate to tell you that Zuma has already lost the battle in Limpopo, where they had to bus in supporters from Mpumalanga and KZN to attend his Nelson Mandela Lecture. As for the Eastern Cape, read my lips, those smart comrades are definitely not backing no Standard 2 drop-out. North-West same thing. Gauteng is not going with Zuma this time, and is crying for leadership. Northern Cape, even though small has sense enough to know that the Zuma choice is not a rational one. Western Cape will go with Tony Yengeni's choice. Freistata is a mistake which is going to be rectified before Mangaung. Mpumalanga and KZN delegates will not go 100% Zuma this time. I do not think Zuma has got the numbers thistime. He has been weighed and found wanting.
