Just how useless do you have to be, to be fired from the ANC. The DA must be getting desperate.

Dear ANC,
If she was so damn useless, why did you keep 'deploying' her?

South Africa sees the ANC as a political liability.

I wonder what the DA promised her to get her to move? We'll soon find out....

"'In terms of party leadership, the furthest that she rose in leadership terms was being a regional chairperson of the ANC..."

Only in the ANC will you find that being a regional chairperson trumps being a Premier!

Well , we do not hear anything about Cope , other than their leader being kicked out pf Parliament. So Nosimo is right to join whatever party she wants. It's a known fact that if you leave the ANC then you are the enemy to them instead of them doing an introspection and find out what is wrong with them these days.
At least the the so-called refugees will start looking at some other party in EC and put it in power.
To Nosimo , this is a democratic country , you're free to join any party, you go girl. Show them what you're made of

A very traditional woman indeed! But however it is a worrying factor to the integrity of the ANC to see a person who was more or less the ANC herself to be defecting to a party which it is deemed to be a ''taboo'' to join, that is the evidence of both divisions within COPE and the ANC, why did not Balindlela thought of going back ''home'' like Dexter and Sello Moloto if the going got tough in COPE? This are rare sings that the ANC is slowly but surely, going down, ANC must wish the ''voters/public'' does not think like Balindlela, this is a very dangerous situation to the ANC not COPE!
A very historic and a miraculous dramatic turnaround in South African politics since the new dispensation, nobody thought the former Premier of the ANC can ever join the so called a political enemy even if it is a miracle, but it happened!
Perhaps she predicted well the party that is going to take over from the ANC in future as such by so doing positioned herself very well to make a dramatic return back into the gravy train! She hates the ANC to the extent that she could not think of going back ‘’home’’ that should ring the bell to people who thought there was no serious tribal conflicts/divisions in the ANC!
The old lady wanted something that can quench her thirst of hatred against the ANC as such so it fit to join its worst enemy! Something strong to at list ‘’ankle grab’’ the ANC, may be let me say good luck to Balindlela, I hope, she does not turn into just another empty tin like Lekota, Buthelezi and Mazibuko in Parliament!

Change is coming! The people in the ANC that wants a future for their children and grandchildren is going to walk away from the current ANC with the so-called leadership only worrying about self enrichment and hiding their corruption and indiscretions! I know I have walked away!

It takes only one small stone to start an avalanche! She does not hate the ANC she is just worried about where it is going to end with the current ANC so-called leadership! They the current ANC leaders are all out of touch with reality! All their children go to private schools and private hospitals living like the new rich on the money of the poor!

We all need a future not just the current ANC elite who are in a downward spiral and they will take us all with them!

Maybe that is what she sees and it only takes one person!

she is taking a long walk back to ANC. she is scared to dissapoint someone if she goes back straight home. shame the big man wont be happy.
