And then you’ll have people tell you that personalities don’t win you votes. Rise Mzansi has the budget of a top 3 party while pulling out graveyard voter numbers.

That 1 used to enjoy SSA money while still running Friends of Jacob Zuma. She was lucky that their friendship ended and worked her way back. She was a charlatan

The way her and Naledi Chirwa’s careers in politics progressed after FMF sheds light on which political party is progressive and which one is performative with progressiveness. One of them became a household name. We can’t remember the other one’s name.

The approach might have been smart but the results were disastrous. Only managing to get 1.78% in the CoJ when the electorate was disgruntled and actively seeking out alternatives is dreadful. Especially with the human and financial resources Rise had. Failure in it's purest form

It's tempting to laugh at Rise Mzansi for their dismal performance despite being given the money, media and civil society coverage of a 20% party.
But that's a mistake,, because it's clear that the Oppenheimers are using them differently...
They got 2 seats in Parliament (/400) and yet got the positions of:
Chairman of SCOPA (Zibi)
Chair of the impeachment inquiry (Gana)
They got 1 seat in Gauteng (/80) yet that person became MEC for Economic Development overseeing gambling (in which the Oppenheimers have a large stake).
You only need the right to have one puppet in Parliament and with behind the scenes 'leverage' that puppet could be president or premier. Or in a city they could become mayor.
So while they deserve derision for their two-faced posturing and disastrous Rand/vote and Rand/hour ratios, it's no laughing matter for South African democracy.
One day South Africans could wake up to an Oppenheimer puppet president who only got 0.8% of the national vote...

This is why I didn’t see pictures and videos of @phethani4 mobilising in Limpopo this year 😁

“Absolutely not” - Rise Mzansi leader Songezo Zibi on people who says they should have clubbed themselves up with ActionSA to form an umbrella of sorts.
He says ActionSA is generally a “right wing” political party.
