Yes, we dropped two episodes for you today. 😄🙌🏽

Two episodes in a single day? You're serving us great content. Thanks Siz, keep up the great work.

Im glad they are in the position because we cant have everybody in the GNU. We have to have a strong opposition that holds the GNU accountable.

I think I'm speaking for everyone if I say we should push this channel to 1 million subscribers since here we get real, uncut & unbiased content, especially on politics!!! Ayeye!!!

All political parties should respect the voters, respect the rule of law and build a better southern Africa for All sa citizens

Being in opposition to the GNU will sharpen them politically. The EFF needs to recalibrate and tone down on certain dogged positions.

It is good to walk alone bcos you will have all the time to plan your journey in life.

Your perspective is really good, very balanced. We appreciate you very much 🙏🏿

DA didn’t like the fact that EFF and MK party was an option for ANC hence they accepted what was on the table 😅

“Politics is about power” Gayton McKenzie

EFF & MKP isolated themselves. Let’s be real here. MKP was formed for JZ to blackmail the ANC because of his legal issues. We will see how long MKP lasts, if the most recent by-elections are an indication, it doesn’t look good for them. JZ if he is as innocent as he claims, he should be happy to go to court in front of the judge and prove his innocence. He has taken advantage of the legal system all these years. if judgements goes against his wishes we have the worst constitution in the world, if he wins he is the masterclass, and we have the best constitution. Really !!!!

EFF has peaked, they will not surpass their past numbers. Neither will MK. Any growth for either party would've come from disgruntled ANC members...who are now most likely to form their own splinter should they depart from khongolse, in pursuit of parliamentary seats. the new age if coalitions breeds the formation of several small parties, with now real prospects for great numbers.

As an MK voter, I am very glad of being an opposition. It would make no sense to join the ANC & DA government. The mission is calling something a real alternative to the ANC. Speaking of joining them is insane for starters.

They sidelined themselves. The truth is a bitter pill to swallow for some people

Its never a gloomy day when Dr Sizwe is in the building. Dropping intellectual gems as usual.

We are really blessed to get two videos

We are really blessed to get two videos with great perspectives and insights.

They isolated themselves.

Exciting times in politics globally and in South Africa!

Interesting point about Judge Hlophe. I knew having him as their leader in parliament will be valuable I just didn’t think about it from that perspective. Why do I feel like MK will a much more effective opposition .

Both the MKParty and Economic Freedom Fighters had thought the GNU train was going to wait for them - they missed the train. South Africans in the majority do not have time to waste,. MKParty & EFF must blam themselves.

Leave it to them they know what they are doing.It would be a banana parliament without opposition.

Great analysis. Will revisit in six months to see how spot you where

I love your analysis bro, the clarity and depth is unsurpassed!!

Only Time will tell

I admire your ability to dissect and unpack so many issues in one go ❤

I don't think that the MK party will be able to grow voter support in all the provinces.

Black South Africa MEN Raise Up and Fight Back keep Building

Two great videos. Thank you, SMW. (The brains telling the govt and the opposition what they have to do! :) )

A whole consistent content king

smaak your content stukkend boet! Keep up the good work!!

Thanks Sizwe you make me grow with your analysis daily brooch, keep up the good work

Excellent analysis. Spot on

EFF must abolish their open border policy if they want to be relevant in this country. We have to improve lives of sa citizens before we can save the world

Thank you 🙏🏽

The Good Dr knew we needed more than the usual dose today. ** Sip

The DA have/had to deliver … the other parties just have to be “black”.

Big ups Siz... always looking forward to your analysis.

Very good analysis! Keep it up...

I can easily say you're always on point through your eye opening insights. Some very mind boggling and deep. You involve us as you open room for us to manoeuvre whilst wading through with you without forcing yourself on our thought patterns as we grew up influenced differently by political landscapes of nurture ideals. Some propaganda and some realistic. I respect your balancing of views from a 360 degree angle. You make a dice into a coin and yours will roll non stop. Thanks a million. I'm your fan🥇😁

Keep doing what u do Sizwe sani!!! Thank you!

Thanks bro...

The problem I have with MK is because it only belongs to Zulu tribe. Judge Hlope has compromised his impartiality by joining MK ,how would he rein in corrupt Zuma and his gangsters. I think it's a good thing that eff and mk didn't join the GNU because doing so would have effectively killed our democracy, no opposition.

Your wisdom just makes us see an love politics even though ages gone🎉

A good analysis of the facts.

Hayibo double period! Love this ke sana😂❤

Good question you asking 👍🏿

I know that there is a lot of disappointment from many in the fact that the EFF will not have a larger part in government, but they are exactly where they should be for now. There are so so many fundamental issues that South Africa must work through before any real progress or change can be realized, and it must start at the grassroots level. The direction South Africa is currently choosing is to insulate themselves by ignoring what is going on in the outside world and how that is and will effect them, as well as only looking at each person’ or area’s individual misery. Gone is the sense of connectedness or unity which allows, causes, and demands for real change. South Africa needs to get back the fighting spirit of Mandela and others who fought for, suffered, and even died for change. The fundamental and persistent issues which cripple most communities in South Africa really need to be fought for. Your revolutionaries were able to elicit great and lasting change in government by first making the voices of the people so loud that they could not be ignored. Change across Africa is slowly being achieved today by doing the same. This is the time for the EFF and other opposition to live up to their name by continuing to be out in the communities energizing and fighting for and with the people. This new GNU must be forced to deliver on all of the promises that they have made, and that is achieved through activism. There must be someone to insist on real and measurable change in areas like education, water quality, unemployment, electricity, and security. Without these fundamentals, real change and progress cannot be achieved. much groundwork must be set, and that is better done outside of the political arena. The people need to stop quietly asking for change from their couches in their living rooms, and actually get out and demand that change, knowing that they have the power to remove whoever does not deliver that change in the next election cycle. The EFF and other opposition definitely have a job to play in government, but first, the groundwork myst be set. This is the time for the EFF to live up to their name by continuing to be out in the communities energizing and fighting for and with the people. The people need to be reminded of the true power that they hold.

Great unbiased analysis.

I really enjoy these episodes. I like how all factors are considered , you’d fit right in with political strategists very much like they do in the white house

In the midst of it all we cry 🎉🎉🎉 🎉 South Africa back to God please. He alone riles over all.

These two are YOUR IDOLS Sizwe! Your impartiality screams to the heavens!

Thanks

Thanks Sizwe it is complex 2 bulls in one kraal , interesting to observe

Great 🎉

For eff not to be in government power has apotentiaal of breaking them and loss of trust by electorate.South Africa now needs unity

On point analysis Dokotelaaa 🙌

I love what you said towards the end. I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting old and my algorithms are changing. I love that there’s allot more engagement with our politics, on these social platforms. But then again ndiyi youth endala

They 😮😮 want to dostr our country 😮😮😮😮

Good work Bro.

I'm disappointed because I really enjoyed Unfiltered but the bias toward EFF or Mk is becoming not-so-subtle and anything containing the DA (including the GNU) is an automatic dismissal. I'm not a DA voter but it's obvious there's a desire to prove even the new government is doomed to fail because the DA is there. You know it's true and we all have bias but this is no different now from watching SABC or Newsroom Afrika.

As for me Im glad my party didnt join the GNU. I didnt vote for GNU but for my party. Happy to be in opposition. Thanks Sizwe

Aye ye

Lol Gotta sip that political Tea😂😂😂😂😂😂Now This is the kind of humour fitting for this channel

If the politicians cared as much as they say then no GNU was needed. Why not simply decide on merits and make sure every decision can be tested against do unto others as you want done to yourself

The MK and EFF have won a moral victory. They have demonstrated that their fight is not for personal, selfish material accumulation but for principle and justice. I am so proud of them. The DA and others are the biggest losers.

The DANC will not be as celebratory as their fans on Twitter. EFF & MK were fighting for the same voters both with wild moments in the past term. If they cleaned their act up, there is room for growth. More even if they do a non compete agreement and divide target areas amongst them. Make it a formal coalition and this amplifies. The left behind who didn't vote will mever vote DANC. Mobilise them to participate successfully and you've got a very large minority if not knocking on the doors of majority. Zuma should come to terms with the toxicity in his name and brand (family included) & work behind the scenes and JuJu does his thing on important issues. We already know there are colonial mindsets, if you can't do anything about them leave them and focus on things that produce immediate results even if only in the mindset & confidence of Pan Africanism. They need people like Dr Sizwe in the backroom thinking up ideas or at least be a sounding board for their own.

They thought they are clever, yet they are stupid. The train left them wait

Its very simple to understand, they are not wanted

I foresee a parliamentary decorum reset, robust debate and a lot of pleasant political surprises contrary to popular opinion. Remember that as citizens we should try to remove us propagandist narratives and give these vetted individuals a chance, none of them have been found guilty of anything. I remain intrigued and curious of what will happen in parliament. Let’s all wait and see. Obviously this is at this channel where we will get proper and unbiased opinion of which we are greatful🙏🏾

The politics of this country will never be the same again, expect the parliament to be robust...we can't wait for parliament to start...as always your analysis are not biased....we are honoured to have someone of your calibre....

The EFF was greedy, and the MKP was arrogant.

There was never internal squabbling in MK. It was only one person obviously working for Ramaphosa that tried to destabilize the party.

This man hides his bias very well. But it is still evident to see his pro EFF stance.

Always a pleasure and enlightening to listen to you. While most of what you say is quite accurate and objective, what do you think about some of the happenings as being attributed to divine intervention? For instance the current position of EFF and MKP being completely oyt of the so called GNU which is a misnomer?

SMWX you are great. Why is MK and EFF still a black organisation. They do not represent SA. They will go down just like the ANC.

2029 is too Far for Zuma Julius is loosing momentum hence he berged for inclusion

Who is going to oppose if everyone is in GNU, leave them, they know what they are doing

So this New Government might need another 30 years to prove itself. Give them some time for goodness sake, they need to get used to it and find themselves! Are you expecting change to happen on the first day! Dream on!

Am glad they out of this nonsense GNU,history will judge them,we will continue to vote for them

Hi Sizwe my man, I'm happy for this episode well let me dive in, firstly I think the big problem for this opposition block will be Andile Mngxithama, the guy still hates the EFF with passion, recently Andile had a podcast where he bashed the EFF left right and centre especially Julius Malema and for me the sooner Andile stops that and find a way to work with the EFF the better, after all the party the praised the most ( PAC ) is now part of the governing pact. Either than that I think these two parties will work well together. I still have to hear the policies and ideologies of the MKP though bcz except for the hatred of Ramadollar I still wanna know what does MKP stand for. I know that there is too much love and respect between Dr Hlophe and EFF. Well how do they make their presence felt ...well they need to use the parliament constructively, use their ideological superiority to argue every issue raised in parliament, they also need to play at the feelings of those ANC members who are not really happy with how things have turned up as far as this GNU is concerned. They know the ANC conferences resolutions they need to speak on those. Outside parliament they need to hold marches against unemployment, marches on free education, cost of living, landlessnes, inequality economic freedom, industrialisation etc etc, they need to have rallies, they can do these collectively and sometimes individually as these parties. They need to point out failures of this "GNU" and as well tell the nation what are the alternatives... they need to tell the country what are their election manifestos as early as 4 years before 2029 elections and do so regularly until 2029 of course. The PAC, UDM, GOOD and to an extent PA will be non existent come 2029 because their leaders will be busy with their cabinet portfolios and to some extent implementing ANC policies. As for the ANC the question there is what is their succession plan ? Ramaphosa took them from. 57% to 40% ... now who in their ranks will take them from 40 to 51 ? Well I don't know and I'm sure they too do know. As for the MKP these guys need to formulate their leadership structure as a matter of urgency. As for the DA well those ones have for a long time reached their ceiling they are and will always be a +-20% party.

Hello Dr S

This is the part of the RSA movie Im waiting on😁😎

My sip of my political tea got me laughing after the realisation of the Sports , Arts & Culture ministry. The outgoing minister almost walked himself into prison, the incoming one walked out of it. It's the cultural side of this ministry that is doing the work.🤣

Thanks for this ... there is no crises with the MKP, at least. Firstly it was the ANC that sent Helicopters to go "feel" the MKP at Nkandla only to find the MKP position steadfast on the condition that Ramaphosa resigns for them to work with the ANC. The letter written by the EFF is clearly their attempt to draw Ramaphosa's head out his ass somewhat. We can conclude that Ramaphosa had concluded/decided long ago that he was better off working with the DA and nothing could have changed that. He is a weak president who's in this for his own protection we'll have to see how long this lasts. He is not the only one to blame though, the entire ANC-NEC and by extension the entire ANC is to blame. This arrangement will soon implode.

…dustbin of history! Thankfully.

Barking at the moving bullet 🚅 train 😂😂😂

Superb analysis and it's quite showing fire 🔥 on EFF and MK and I want to see how will it be like on Zuma suspension, it's gonna be very interesting one as well

Ramaphosa indecisive? No sir. "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our power to choose a response. In our response, lies our growth and our freedom." (VEF)

Birds of the same feather flock together.

Strategic constructive opposition and guarantees accountability and consequence management

we are happy for EFF and MKP they can have a private party....South Africa is moving forwaaaaaaaard and we will use some of their policies, so there'll be no use for them come next elections.

No. They are both in competent

Lately Malema is throwing shades on the Mk party by reposting X post throwing shades on the MK,guess it comes from the heart sadly because Mk pushed them back to fourth.

You have a knack of sugar coating the despots

I wonder who is under more pressure to make early gains GNU or opposition

The DA has a PROVEN track record of debt- free governance, job creation and service- delivery in the Western Cape. They now have governing positions in every important ministry in the GNU albeit 6 deputy ministers. The deputies in energy&electricity, water&sanitation & higher education give me great hope. 👍 They will rise to the occasion and "Rescue SA" together with the partners. Their focus is Job Creation, Uplifting the poor, and sorting out South Africa's failing infrastructure. What's wrong with that? We can't ask for more than that.

MK going into a coalition with a Ramaphosa led ANC and the DA would be short sighted and set them up for long term failure. It would be disastrous.

I beg to differ Mhlekazi, i think it’s good moving forward to stick by their guns which will help them to gain trust from voters. Flip flopping is costing, EFF knows better. MK will have elective conference and have stable leadership respectively. The GNUs are in trouble as they have very little time which 5 to achieve anything with squabbles on the horizon. Only time to tell.
