OP-ED: Writing the 2019 Election: It’s becoming terribly confusing among the small parties

There are some curious parallels and shared policies among some of the small parties. The ACDP meet the ZACP around free market fundamentalism. The Freedom Front Plus and Al Jama-ah share concerns over “minorities”, but part ways with Muslims going in one direction, and Afrikaners fighting back in another direction. These two parties share a field with the— whose most ambitious programme appears to be a global lobby to have affirmative action based on minorities and not “majorities”.

While we have to accept that their intents are honourable, at least in their own minds the revolutionaries have exploited poverty, misery, disaffection and alienation of millions of people into the perfect social basis for tyranny. Andile Mngxitama is a second-phase splinter from the EFF — in a dramatic dash down Adderley Street — and formed the BLF, which now resembles a carbuncle in the gluteal fold of South African politics with its attendant unpleasantness and discomforts. You’re never quite sure whether to scratch or squeeze, but either way, there isaround those parts. You just hold your cool and hope that it dries up and goes away. The problem, of course, is that carbuncles can re-appear at any time.

Too many parties. Confusion.
