Will the general election on 29 May 2024 be 'historic'?

So I find this a good time to come back here and reflect on what we mentioned in our posts. So given what you said in your last reply and the latest outcome, what are your thoughts. I like to hear your perspective

Lol!

Now that "talks" (ie, backroom wheeling and dealing that we are "democratically" not allowed to say squat about) between the ANC and DA is an "official" thing, I have to resist the temptation to say, "I told you so!" to all my family members who still believed the DA "represents" them simply because they have white skins.

I remember me and Jolcognoscenti talking about the possibility of this happening on r/southafrica early last year - and, of course, getting downvoted into oblivion for it by all the angry white libs... fun times.

Sorry about the tangent... was there something specific you wanted to know about?

Nope I guess I just wanted to bring up this reply of yours again. I don't know who down voted it but thought they might want to have a look at it again. Lol

There's a gang of angry libs that seems to take turns following me around and downvoting everything I post - pretty much the same thing that happened on reddit.

It doesn't bother me much.
