I feel 'his mayor's' took all the credit for the hard work of Celliers Brink sounds very disingenuous. Sorry just my opinion. He started alot of those improvements and put it into action.
Dear lord, how is this the biggest talking point at the moment. Politicians...fix the economy! That is why we elected you! ActionSA is like a dear in the headlights, they have no idea or strategy of how to connect with voters again. The fact that this is their strategy and focus is beyond insane!
Hey you guys are a bunch of hypocrites,the DA was the biggest advocate for stopping blue lights and lux vehicles for officials.The issue was magnified by the DA ,so what's wrong if they are being made to account.Geez you guys make it so difficult to take anything DA supporters say 😒
When are these politicians going to start fixing the country than this BS, and wasting time, it sounds like Action SA is all about being a policeman. Action SA is a pain in the BUT.
Ag nee Action SA surely there are bigger issues to be resolved than Steenhuizen removing blue lights. He was clear that he would not use them unless in an emergency. Action SA has become the joker in the pack.
Our future is deying, our country is falling appart! Our children cannot compete internationally and I do not see you fighting the ridiculous Bella Bill that literally will imprison parents who cannot get their children to school due to the lack of educational resources. I have lost all respect for Action SA.
I live in Tshwane, I see no turn arround. Instead, I see corrupt officials being reinstated, I see a return to balooning salaries even for the executive. I see a puppet mayor who dances on the tune of the ANC/EFF.
What vehicles are the ASA Mayor of Tshwane and the Speaker of Gauteng driving? Are they second hand or new.? Trollip is a spin doctor he should have ascertained his facts before he and Mashaba opened their big mouths. Lets hear him pick on other Ministers and leave the DA alone.
Hahahaha now they have athol doing his tap dance routine in place of the Ego - Herman - to little to late bud, the ASA is dead and buried they just do not seem to know it yet - love he blue light story versus the "we will never work with the ANC" statement the hypocrisy is amazing - BTW if you have a car and a car following then thats 2 cars ???
Mr Trollip is like all Action SA leadership. They don't ask the hard questions. They ask the wrong questions. All they do now is try to attack the DA. Mr. Trollip get a life and join a decent party or retire and find something useful to do. You clearly have a huge chip on your shoulder.
But hang on... If you say I will not use the blue lights ever... EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF EMERGENCIES.. how can you expect the guy to remove the damn lights man??!!!
What a complete idiot... Lessons on how to shed votes... Somehow they think this is going to get them more votes... The other parties are hoping they keep their current strategist...
Trollip, my advise is to sort out your Leader. Lost all respect to Herman. He sounds like the EFF. He attack random people on twitter that he doesn't even know and put them on a guilt trip about Apartheid. You don't do that. Herman's detrimental EQ will be the end of ActionSA.
Using a car just as is cost nothing, if you remove the blue lights it will cost money, so please just use your bloody logic man. You also started this dumb fight that does not help any South African. So tired of this shit.
I can’t get back this time in my life. There are so many more important things to deal with. Almost half of the youth are unemployed. Deal with that. Corruption is rampant deal with that
Thank you BizNews SA. After unserstandind the misrepresentation in News24 and Daily Maverick in your excellent interview, the gist of the matter is Action SA would like to advise Steenkamp to eemove the blue lights in case he is tempted to use them and thereby compromise the policy of the DA. Thank you Athol for this important action. Now can we get onto the most serious issues such as travel spending I'm not waste our time with petty politics.
Aahh Athol but ASA said they would not work with the ANC - you need to apply the same logic you applied to DA and Blue Light story to yourselves. If the DA needs to stick to it's policy of not using Blue Lights then ASA needs to apply the same logic to themselves and not work with the ANC. A tad hypocritical! I don't think the DA ever said they wouldn't work with the ANC so they can if they want to just like ASA has no issue with using Blue Lights.
Suddenly, DA are zealous defenders of ministerial perks😂😂 It is abundantly clear their opposition to such benefits was driven by jealousy not principle
On the money that we are over the petty point scoring. So much to do that is so urgent. Stop wasting time and money on self-serving populist actions and abusing the emotional well-being of exhausted voters who just want water, electricity, security, healthcare, education etc to be in place, and would like to pull together as a nation to look after each other.
Sorry Trollip YOU'VE BLOWN IT. Steenhuysen clarified the entire thing perfectly and you continue to trundle out your political WORD SALADS. Shame on you.
ASA and Athol is exactly on point! Sit Still South Africans, listen to the full content of what effective responsible politicians - like Athol is mentioning in this interview..... LISTEN! and Learn..
What a load of trollop. Turns out John Steenhuisen JS did not buy new vehicles although he could of and they are they are zero rated on the books. He drives with his private 1979 vehicle after hours. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill, have they nothing better to talk about. Its disingenuous to to now say the current value is the original purchase price. JS does not drive around with blue lights. Could Herman say the say the same. I used to have such high regard for Athol Trollip when he with DA in PE, now he has become such a bullsh1tter since joining ACSA.
When the DA joins the GNU that is called the facilitation of good governance, but when ACTIONSA works with other parties in Tshwane and Jo'burg that is called the facilitation of bad governance. Who's fooling who here?
You are on about such trivel shit.. surley there's more important things to worry about.. ASA are losing votes Why are you allowing the same tender corruption to go on in jhb (water tanks in particular) I've lost all respect for you Trollip
The DA IS doing what it says!! Do you know that the City of Cape Town, as well as the Western Cape Province, are BOTH spending a WHOPPING 75% of their respective Budgets this financial year (and the following two financial years) directly on the poorest residents?? This is the biggest, infrastructure- driven, pro - poor spend in South Africa, and something that the DA is really proud of!!! See - DA delivers for the poor and vulnerable, BusinessDay. See - Impressive new school in the Western Cape ( on TH-cam). This is a beautiful new Kasi school in Lwandle in Cape Town!
Athol. Your party said you would never work with the ANC, but you are working with ANC now. How are you different from the DA who has not removed the blue lights even though they don't use the blue lights. What a joke Action SA.
The fact that a "he said - she said" about blue lights enjoys this much coverage is a concern. Saying Steenhuisen said this, we would never say that, is even more cause for concern. It sounds like a playground argument. Politicians are going to play politics. It's all about ego. I really wish / hope that sources like Biznews would look at what is promised, and then review and query this 3, 6 and 12 months down the line... but then there wouldn't be anything to cover in the interim period...
Athol, ASA party leader Herman Mashaba said he would never support the ANC. What happened in Tswane then ?
ActionSA's biggest preoccupation and interest is fighting the DA, nothing else!!
Did he say anything wrong here?state your counter argument do not generalize.
I feel 'his mayor's' took all the credit for the hard work of Celliers Brink sounds very disingenuous. Sorry just my opinion. He started alot of those improvements and put it into action.
What a load of Trollip.
What a load of rubish. ASA are utter clowns.
The fact remains. Steehuisen has NOT spent the money you accuse the rest of. You speak with forked tongue!!!
Exactly. ASA is dying
that is a fact as true as day follows night p ASA - A S S SEWER A S S
ActionSA on life support at this point
Action SA is nothing more than a ‘POEP’ in a Thunderstorm!
Dear lord, how is this the biggest talking point at the moment. Politicians...fix the economy! That is why we elected you! ActionSA is like a dear in the headlights, they have no idea or strategy of how to connect with voters again. The fact that this is their strategy and focus is beyond insane!
Dirk, agreed 💯.
What has blue lights to do with us and the quality of our everyday lives in SA?
Hey you guys are a bunch of hypocrites,the DA was the biggest advocate for stopping blue lights and lux vehicles for officials.The issue was magnified by the DA ,so what's wrong if they are being made to account.Geez you guys make it so difficult to take anything DA supporters say 😒
They all regret leaving the DA and still crying.
This man is a joke just like his party leader, shame on him
God help SA if this is the biggest topic in SA politics
When are these politicians going to start fixing the country than this BS, and wasting time, it sounds like Action SA is all about being a policeman. Action SA is a pain in the BUT.
Trollip surprised me. ASA keep on lying, who they try and fool. So disappointing.
O my Word! Still using Apartheid as an excuse for their failures.
Oh for goodness sake Atholl...go home. Cannot believe you actually take this stand 🙄
Also where is Action SA, screaming at Paul Mashatile, who's body guards literally beating up motorist? Action SA is now just another ANC cadre.
Grabbing straws, he should do something worthwhile
Ag nee Action SA surely there are bigger issues to be resolved than Steenhuizen removing blue lights. He was clear that he would not use them unless in an emergency. Action SA has become the joker in the pack.
Also he can't remove them incase of emergency he will need to use them and obviously can't off then put back suddenly an emergency occurs.
Our future is deying, our country is falling appart! Our children cannot compete internationally and I do not see you fighting the ridiculous Bella Bill that literally will imprison parents who cannot get their children to school due to the lack of educational resources. I have lost all respect for Action SA.
Athol, your President Herman said he would never work with the ANC, the DA never said the same.
Gauteng is a dump
Athol is just talking Trolip😂
👏🏻👏🏻
I live in Tshwane, I see no turn arround. Instead, I see corrupt officials being reinstated, I see a return to balooning salaries even for the executive. I see a puppet mayor who dances on the tune of the ANC/EFF.
Is anyone actually interested in what Athol F. Trollip bas to say?
Nope
Yes I am ...
Nope
Nooooooooooo!!!!!!
Fools are not interested
We’re bankrupt and Trollip keeps talking about blue lights, God Help us
Jealous down Trollip!!!!😂😂
OMW how pathetic is this. This country has far more pressing problems than squabbling over blue lights.
Alec, please keep calling out the BS. It is time we stop giving these guys airtime just to use it as a platform to spew absolute nonsence.
Better he just let them talk. So we can hear the nonsense they believe.
What vehicles are the ASA Mayor of Tshwane and the Speaker of Gauteng driving? Are they second hand or new.? Trollip is a spin doctor he should have ascertained his facts before he and Mashaba opened their big mouths. Lets hear him pick on other Ministers and leave the DA alone.
Ask Trollip how much does it cost to remove blue lights from an old car.
Hahahaha now they have athol doing his tap dance routine in place of the Ego - Herman - to little to late bud, the ASA is dead and buried they just do not seem to know it yet - love he blue light story versus the "we will never work with the ANC" statement the hypocrisy is amazing - BTW if you have a car and a car following then thats 2 cars ???
Mr Trollip is like all Action SA leadership. They don't ask the hard questions. They ask the wrong questions. All they do now is try to attack the DA. Mr. Trollip get a life and join a decent party or retire and find something useful to do. You clearly have a huge chip on your shoulder.
Removing the blue lights will cost money. Someone else will use the same vehicle and will want to use the blue lights. Pathetic argument, Atholl!
"I am shocked" as Madonsela said to Mpofo, and "I am shocked" with the verbal diarrhea from Trollop!
Action SA is so weak and desperate with this nonsense.
But hang on... If you say I will not use the blue lights ever... EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF EMERGENCIES.. how can you expect the guy to remove the damn lights man??!!!
So disappointed in Athol Trollip. Lost respect for him. 😢
What a complete idiot... Lessons on how to shed votes... Somehow they think this is going to get them more votes... The other parties are hoping they keep their current strategist...
SA is cursed with the worst politicians ever. BUT hey its Africa ne.
Oh really, Mr Trollip. Don't you feel embarassed?
ActionSA is a disgrace
First Herman...and now this one on the DA🤷
Trollip, my advise is to sort out your Leader. Lost all respect to Herman. He sounds like the EFF. He attack random people on twitter that he doesn't even know and put them on a guilt trip about Apartheid. You don't do that. Herman's detrimental EQ will be the end of ActionSA.
Trollip and Action Sa are being beyond childish. Disappointing crap
Herman is threatened for control of his own party
Lost respect for Trollep sorry
@@fanievanaardt3879 not that I had much in the first place 🤬
Using a car just as is cost nothing, if you remove the blue lights it will cost money, so please just use your bloody logic man. You also started this dumb fight that does not help any South African. So tired of this shit.
I can’t get back this time in my life. There are so many more important things to deal with. Almost half of the youth are unemployed. Deal with that. Corruption is rampant deal with that
Trollip “do what you say”. Also trollip “we said we would never work with the ANC. If the DA can do it why can’t we”
Thank you BizNews SA. After unserstandind the misrepresentation in News24 and Daily Maverick in your excellent interview, the gist of the matter is Action SA would like to advise Steenkamp to eemove the blue lights in case he is tempted to use them and thereby compromise the policy of the DA. Thank you Athol for this important action. Now can we get onto the most serious issues such as travel spending I'm not waste our time with petty politics.
Oh my gosh, let's move on Action SA, concentrate on things that matter.
I can't listen to this so I am signing off.
Athol wraps a lot of political gibberish around the lies and deceit of Action SA. It is pathetic beyond tolerance.
Damage control with hot air
PHEW.......Micky mouse Athol.......
Action SA said they would never work with the ANC but now they working with them🤣 it’s not what you say it’s what you do.
Aahh Athol but ASA said they would not work with the ANC - you need to apply the same logic you applied to DA and Blue Light story to yourselves. If the DA needs to stick to it's policy of not using Blue Lights then ASA needs to apply the same logic to themselves and not work with the ANC. A tad hypocritical! I don't think the DA ever said they wouldn't work with the ANC so they can if they want to just like ASA has no issue with using Blue Lights.
Like ActionSA said they won’t work with the ANC 😅
Petty politics and yes much more important issues that need to be addressed.
Shouldn't that be everyone in this ANC Mafia?🤔💯💯
I can not see the turn around in Tshwane.
Suddenly, DA are zealous defenders of ministerial perks😂😂
It is abundantly clear their opposition to such benefits was driven by jealousy not principle
Right?
So Athol’s gripe is about blue lights? 😂
Well actually blue lights that aren't getting used.....
Oh wait Athol doesn't have an issue with blue lights....as long as its not on a vehicle that the DA is driving
What a disappointment you have become Mr Trollip….0% party coming up
I have lost respect for this man. Yes, be in opposition, show mismanagement, etc., but as usual, ASA is not getting anywhere.
Trollip bollip, find a better job to do. Action SA should find the meaning of action.
Athul Trollip is childish. He tries to be relevant.
Athol you don’t know what you are talking about when you talk about Tshwane……
Omg imagine being married to a guy like Athol. He knit picks because he’s got nothing else to do. Small minded guy.
On the money that we are over the petty point scoring. So much to do that is so urgent. Stop wasting time and money on self-serving populist actions and abusing the emotional well-being of exhausted voters who just want water, electricity, security, healthcare, education etc to be in place, and would like to pull together as a nation to look after each other.
Om krediet te vat vir werk reeds gedoen is pateties
Seriously, this is so pathetic. Our country is falling apart, and this is so unimportant to be squabbling about blue lights.
ALEC ACTION SA SAID THEY WILL NEVER WORK WITH THE ANC...AND WHat ARE THEY DOING NOW??? SO WISH YOU ASKED HIM!!!
18:50. You're welcome
Sorry Trollip YOU'VE BLOWN IT. Steenhuysen clarified the entire thing perfectly and you continue to trundle out your political WORD SALADS. Shame on you.
ASA and Athol is exactly on point! Sit Still South Africans, listen to the full content of what effective responsible politicians - like Athol is mentioning in this interview..... LISTEN! and Learn..
Suddenly he has no problem with blue lights but two minutes ago he did have a problem? How now Mr. Trollip?
ASA doubling down.
Jy praat kak.
What are the differences between the Eff, the IFP, and the ANC, and how do they relate to your driving? Please explain.
Great interview, thank you.
What a "nat broek". Focus on real work Trollip.
What a load of trollop. Turns out John Steenhuisen JS did not buy new vehicles although he could of and they are they are zero rated on the books. He drives with his private 1979 vehicle after hours.
Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill, have they nothing better to talk about. Its disingenuous to to now say the current value is the original purchase price. JS does not drive around with blue lights. Could Herman say the say the same. I used to have such high regard for Athol Trollip when he with DA in PE, now he has become such a bullsh1tter since joining ACSA.
When the DA joins the GNU that is called the facilitation of good governance, but when ACTIONSA works with other parties in Tshwane and Jo'burg that is called the facilitation of bad governance. Who's fooling who here?
No you guys should have done your research before throwing mud for political gain.
Petty
You are on about such trivel shit.. surley there's more important things to worry about..
ASA are losing votes
Why are you allowing the same tender corruption to go on in jhb (water tanks in particular)
I've lost all respect for you Trollip
😂😂😂😂😂😂Shame give him a lollipop and change his diaper🤦
No politican is doing what they saying
The DA IS doing what it says!!
Do you know that the City of Cape Town, as well as the Western Cape Province, are BOTH spending a WHOPPING 75% of their respective Budgets this financial year (and the following two financial years) directly on the poorest residents??
This is the biggest, infrastructure- driven, pro - poor spend in South Africa, and something that the DA is really proud of!!!
See - DA delivers for the poor and vulnerable, BusinessDay.
See - Impressive new school in the Western Cape ( on TH-cam). This is a beautiful new Kasi school in Lwandle in Cape Town!
People honestly just want to see austerity on the part of politicians and see that the job is getting done and that they can see change.
Athol i had respect for u and Mshaba .All gome
SA Action is pathetic!!!!
Imagine being married to Athol Trollip. Holy Moly
Such a load of crap!
Alec... I sense this oukie has subdued you! In the final analysis, John Steenhuysen is perfectly correct! You'll see....
Athol. Your party said you would never work with the ANC, but you are working with ANC now. How are you different from the DA who has not removed the blue lights even though they don't use the blue lights. What a joke Action SA.
So much childish comments by the majority here.
This vark just said "politics is a difficult game"! There is YOUR PROBLEM!!! OUR FUTURE IS A GAME TO YOU! VOETSEK!
There is no cure for stupidity.
ASA has joined ANC and EFF. Herman has got a vendetta against DA and is a race baiter.
The fact that a "he said - she said" about blue lights enjoys this much coverage is a concern. Saying Steenhuisen said this, we would never say that, is even more cause for concern. It sounds like a playground argument. Politicians are going to play politics. It's all about ego. I really wish / hope that sources like Biznews would look at what is promised, and then review and query this 3, 6 and 12 months down the line... but then there wouldn't be anything to cover in the interim period...
If he removes it it will cost more money!!!!!!!!!You people are dumb
Na apper, first wait for results of DA, then you want to kick them out and copy cat them
Cook Mr trollip we are here to write notes😅
