And they ended up teaming up with the Democratic Alliance (DA), IFP, Patriotic Alliance (PA) and everyone else.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cWe would have had the ANC for another five years if it weren\u2019t for Zuma. I think the GNU will hold together, at least until 2027. I has to, because if it doesn\u2019t everybody, including the ANC, knows what the other option is \u2013 complete chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"h6\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<h3>Turning the corner<\/h3>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cWhether we are turning the corner, I think, is too early to say,\u201d Hersov said. \u201cMy international friends and investors are still not interested in investing in South Africa. South Africa is not investable. There\u2019s too much broken, too much to fix and too much uncertainty. The investability of South Africa is tied directly to the political dynamics.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u201cThe international investors are not going to come in in any meaningful way. I\u2019m feeling cautiously optimistic that the money is not going to pour in.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cWe still have the highest unemployment rate in the world. We still have a broken rail network. Our infrastructure has collapsed. We have the worst ports in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"h6\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<h3>Municipal elections<\/h3>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>Hersov said his prediction is that the municipal elections are not going to happen in 2026, but in February 2027.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cAnd only then, when we see what happens in the municipal elections, can we say that we\u2019ve turned the corner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cIf you look at the GNU, and you look at the positions that the DA was given, other than Home Affairs and Basic Education, the rest are sort of B-category ministerial positions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cThe DA didn\u2019t get any of the prime ideological positions they wanted, such as Trade and Industry, but there are a lot of director general positions that the good guys have, which can make a difference.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cAnd take note, the DA has been very quiet; it hasn\u2019t been a big announcer. And what I think the DA and PA are doing, as a policy, is keeping quiet for the first 100 days. But they are making incredible inroads, incredible efficiencies, incredible changes that they\u2019re going to announce, I reckon, in the next 30, 40 or 50 days.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"h6\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<h3>Open people\u2019s eyes<\/h3>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to open people\u2019s eyes to what can be done by good people in government absolutely, and to how bad the ANC has been over the last 30 years, that they have destroyed institutions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cSouth African Airways is a good example. It used to be the best airline in Africa and one of the great airlines in the world. Under the ANC it became an employment agency, nothing to do with aviation and, as a result, it\u2019s bankrupt.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cIt has bankrupted every single state-owned enterprise, because the ANC is a market-based organisation that is only interested in patronage \u2013 partner employment, jobs for friends and feeding at the top.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cWhen the DA\u2019s Leon Schreiber and Gayton McKenzie, and all the other ministers announce what they\u2019ve been up to for the first 100 days it is going to embarrass the ANC, and the voting population is going to notice.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"h6\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<h3>New party<\/h3>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cWhat we need the good people in government to keep doing is deliver results so that in the municipal elections in February 2027 the ANC will be ejected from every single urban area in South Africa.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cIt will become an entirely poor person and rural party. And I think the ANC will further splinter and further disintegrate, and will cease to actually exist in the next election cycle in any meaningful way.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cMy hope is that the DA, IFP, PA and all the other pieces, the FF Plus, come together and form a new party. Instead of egos and fighting with one another, they actually form a new party \u2013 a centrist party, a capitalist party, pro-democracy, pro-rule of law and pro-West.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cSo that\u2019s what we\u2019ve got to do between now and 2037; keep the good guys in power, keep them funded and keep supporting them!<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cLet us not get complacent. You\u2019ve got to continue to give money to the PA, the DA, AfriForum and, you know, the business chamber. You\u2019ve got to join Durbanville Business, and you\u2019ve got to make these things happen.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cIf we can do that we will create something at the next national election, where our country will actually take off like a rocket. So, I\u2019m very nervously looking now at 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"lastline\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\"><strong>Send an email to info@durbanvilesakekamer.co.za to join Durbanville
