Maybe don’t take your cousin too serious 😅 Classic case of projecting optimism to protect denial of reality (Psychological term is “Pollyannaism”)
Agree, EWC is a ticking time bomb. Very concerning that DA only party challenging it in courts.
Some perspective on EWC:
• Argument about Zero not being Nill is not about the calculation. Constitution requires compensation and EWC therefore unconstitutional. Dean was making the ANC argument that nill is a form of compensation (and therefore constitutional)
• Dean was not talking on behalf of DA but Ramaphosa. He may be effective but his loyalty is elsewhere. Or he is just incompetent
• ANC also published the equitable access to land Bill. This establishes mechanisms for accelerated property redistribution.
• ANC is unable to provide economic growth or jobs. It is facing an existential crisis. It is therefore turning to accelerated transformation, grants and land redistribution to regain votes. Zanu PF land redistribution happened for same reason
• US lost a lot of money with businesses in Russia being nationalised. They’re reaction to EWC is rational
• ANC will likely defer land expropriation to closer to next election
• ANC also unwilling to drop EWC conditions to resume favourable trade relations with US
• EWC gives unfettered powers to government and only allows for normal courts as part of the appeal process. If you’ve ever been in court you will know that most citizens can’t afford fees even if they have a good case
One example on Powell: When Trump/Musk highlighted farm murders she heavily criticised them and Afriforum as well. Also tried to deflect attention from it by saying things like “GBV is the real crisis”. When Afriforum leader challenged her on it she responded by referring to them being males who don’t like her because she is a competent female leader. She tried to suppress reality of farm murders and used gender to do it. She later deleted those posts
On Jonas Visa, she knew about visa for a long time. She only made it public after Whitfield got fired. She was willing to keep it from public and changed her mind when it was opportunistic to do so. Not really relevant though
