Waarksynlik is daar na\u00efewelinge wat glo dat die DA &#8216;n beter &#8220;opposisie&#8221; verteenwoordig want die wit leier Zille sal nie wittes versaak nie. Hierbenewens het sy die ver-linkse woordeskat bemeester en huisvesting aan terroriste verskaf, dus is haar geloofwaardigheid by swartes as&#8217;t ware afbetaal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Maar vir alle praktiese doeleindes is daar tans twee partye op die politieke toneel: &#8216;n swart een en &#8216;n swart een. En nie een van die twee swart partye is die DA nie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zille se blou barette kan nie kers vashou by twee ver-linkse swart partye nie, aangesien die aantal poste en posisies (lees: vergoeding) wat hulle aanbied nooit genoeg sal wees vir die groot aptyt wat die &#8220;armes&#8221; ontwikkel het nie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alhoewel die ANC dikbek is oor die EFF se sukses, kan hulle geen werklike kritiek daarteen monster nie, aangesien hulle met dieselfde gewelddadige metodes aan die mag gekom het. Om die oproer wat die EFF aanblaas te tem, het die regering straks nog &#8216;n paar magsinstrumente soos die polisie waarmee hulle met welslae sal kan onderhandel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Daar is ongelukkig in die fynskrif van die DA, die &#8220;opposisie&#8221;, se beleid oor taal, regstellende aksie en swart ekonomiese bemagtiging nie veel wat wit inwoners tot optimisme kan stem nie. Hul dwepery oor Mandela sal allermins help om swart gemoedere te kalmeer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Die stryd om watter swart party gaan wen, raak feller. Vandaar die onrustigheid onder swart kiesers wat toeneem. Maar soos ons almal wat Afrika-rassepolitiek verstaan, weet, sal samewerking tussen die ANC en EFF uiteindelik tot voordeel van albei wees. D\u00e1\u00e1r l\u00ea die politieke energie vir die verkiesing. Die Moeder van die Nasie, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela se goeie politieke instink het haar ook di\u00e9 naweek genoop om Juju as die nuwe swart hoop aante prys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In ANC-geledere word daar reeds heerlik gelag en grappe gemaak oor die ou Xhosa. In &#8216;n kultuur waar geskiedenis deur uiters vloeibare mondelinge oorlewering oorgedra word, gaan die &#8220;ikoon&#8221; van Anglo-Amerikaanse belange, Madiba, dit dalk nie as nastrewenswaardige voorbeeld vir swartes oorleef nie.
