Face The Nation | DA wants a power sharing partnership: Helen Zille weighs in

ANC was never ready for this. It hasn't hit home that ANC has lost in the mindset of its provincial leaders. ANC knows, once DA has it's leg in the door, Gauteng politics will never be the same again. It's a soft coup, I love it. DA should remain firm..

There has to be power sharing. The people voted that way. The ANC will cut their own throats if they ignore the DA.

I do not know what the hullabaloo is all about. ANC got 34% ot the electorate. DA got 28%.There are 13 cabinet positions, 34% of 13 positions should be ANC. DA has 28% of the electorate,so cabinet positions should be worked out on these proportions.

The DA is being fair here. The DA should is more popular in Gauteng than nationally. The ANC has to honor agreements,

The ANC is really going through the first stage of grief : Denial

Myself and many will never vote for ANC ever again. Period

Hellen what about the will of voters in KZN?

anc policies has failed we need to try the policies of the DA!

4 for ANC, 3 for DA , and remainder for other parties.

The “will of the people” argument from the DA is intellectually dishonest. If so, they should have insisted on an MK premier & at least 4 MEC’s in KZN.

If they pay for their transport and cut off blue lights it's the final nail on the anc coffin

38% of Gauteng did not vote for either ANC/DA, what make this two parties think that they are the will of the people in Gauteng

Will of the people was denied in KZN. 45% of KZN eligible to vote voted for MKP. we have primier of 18% voted for his party. 82% people of KZN didn't want IFP

What policies have the ANC made that have created a significant positive impact on the ground? I see many negative impacts,,appalling education standards , collapse of services like electricity ,water ,sewerage, road repairs and refuse removal . Not to mention the collapse of the majority of the SOE's . All of this as well as rampant crime and corruption have led to mass unemployment and inequality. I note that BEE has been very helpful to the ANC top brass and their cronies ,many of whom are billionaires today.

South Africans have become poorer under ANC rule and unemployed.

We want to vote again in Gauteng. I think 34% was misunderstood. Perhaps 18% will be better understood. It will sink in.

Why didn’t they use this so called the will of the people when it came to KZN? Bloody hypocrites

Does an signed Agreement mean anything to the ANC? Listen to the ANC leadership in Gauteng yesterday, I felt that the ANC does not seem to accept that they do not have 50% +1. I am even more worried about the ability of Gauteng to be realistic and face reality.

Why do we need so many ministers and the president now went and put 2 deputy ministers if He has a deputy minister from another party he is adding another deputy minister from his party they have lost misersbley because people have seen them for the curruption that they are involved in why do they still have the say in where our votes go to all these parties that are determining our future doesn't have all races in parliament in kzn there's not 1 Indian or colored in kzn

BEE should be scrapped completely, and replaced with a program where black graduates are encouraged to do postgraduate studies in technical and different specialties needed for the economy. That should be BEE.
