Freedom Front Plus

And those parties are the ANC, the DA, the EFF, MK.

The Patriotic Alliance, perhaps the Freedom Front Plus, Action SA.

RISE?

No.

The EFF is sort of consistent across the country with their traditional stronger points, Limpopo Northwest and Gatenda around the 9-10% point.

Then PA getting some votes all over the country, but a better performance in the Western Cape, but not at all enough to challenge the position of the DA.

Freedom Front Plus getting 2% or 3% or 1.5% in most metros, being stronger in the West Rand, East Rand and Pretoria than in other areas.

And those were the six or seven.

From the MK Party, we have Enkele Matima.

From the Freedom Front Plus, we have Vili Spice.

From BOSA, we have Martha Moshira.

And Raiz Nzansi, the last time I checked, had not sent us the name of their candidate, and hopefully they'll be here before we start that debate at 10 o'clock.

I think first and foremost, if you say who are the people that began to sow the seeds of this white genocide lie in Washington, there is the political parties.

And at this point in time, the parties that have been engaging with Washington have been the DA and the Freedom Front Plus and the AfriForums of this world.

And as a result of that sort of peddling of that information, I can record in a number of elections ago when Helen Zilla had written to Washington to ask them to come and engage and interfere in our own elections.

How do you ask in a sovereign country for that to happen? So before South Africa deals with the ICJ and all of that, that particular matter had been raised by domestic actors whose interest is to create a victimization born out of a racial victimization, which does not exist.

So could that first non-ANC leader in 2029, could that be you, Musi Maimani?

I believe I could be because...

The ability to be able to bring the different races, I am privileged and I'm grateful for this, to be able to pick up the phone and have a conversation with the leader of the Freedom Front Plus, of the Afrikaans parties, of the black parties, the white parties, the Zulu parties, whichever the party is, in fact, even the president of the ANC, able to build that relationship is an important thing.

Well, that's it for this edition of Africa Here and Now.

I mean, isn't that evident? I went on that terrible trip to America and mourned the 3,000 farmers who were murdered and tortured to death and gave a speech at the National Press Club where I bemoaned the situation South Africa finds itself in.

So, yes, Supra accused Lex Libertas and a range of other organizations like AfriForum and Solidarity and the Freedom Front Plus of committing acts of high treason and said their citizenship should be taken from them because they were spreading misinformation.

Now, the Free Speech Union put out a strong statement basically saying, unless you have a reading problem, the Constitution gives you a guarantee to free speech, makes no mention of this term misinformation.

It guarantees you a right to citizenship.

In other news, the Public Protector has launched an investigation into alleged maladministration by the city of Tswane over the Bronco-sprayed water crisis.

The probe follows complaints by the EFF and Freedom Front Plus in the region.

It comes after the city failed to chlorinate water for about three weeks and warned residents it was unsafe to drink.

Newswatch's Norm Fundo-Toiler reports.

But we should also understand there's a huge difference between being a celebrity, attracting people, and pulling people to a political event than standing and serving in a municipality where many South Africans are facing challenges of water provision, electricity, and many, many, a myriad of other challenges.

And for me, what is very telling in terms of uh at least uh the freedom front is to see how a song and as as actually uh serve the purpose of advancing uh the image of this particular party we've never had a situation where uh black in in in in their majorities or insignificant numbers would even wear a dished of a party like the Freedom Front, which is actually aligned with your Afrikaner.

So that in itself tells you that we are making a significant shift in terms of what I would term as our predominant, very identical TT politics.

race-based politics.

And I think what the Freedom Front is doing, and perhaps I don't think they've planned this because the song was not created by themselves, but by someone else.

But they haven't planned for this.

This is definitely working for them.

in South African center politics.

We have a growing fringe of mainly ethno-nationalist parties, single issue parties of whether it be the Freedom Front Plus or Patriotic Alliance, the MK, National Colored Congress.

Those are largely identity-based parties.

And you have the ANC and the DA straggling either side of a center, centrist policies.

You know, I will tip my hat to that slogan.

purely out of being so histrionic so dramatic that it would at least catch my interest and then of course there has been some controversy around the freedom front plus posters the slogan was just on state it is our time which suddenly became this that estate or this state it is our time which the freedom front leader corne malda claims is because this on state was telling people it was our time to register and this state is telling them it's time to vote What a load of rubbish.

Sorry, please don't take me to the Broadcasting Plains Council Freedom Front.

Plus, I'm in enough trouble already.
