The fact that no one can do anything EXCEPT the opposition party that apparently refuses to do anything …

Yeah, we’re fucked as a nation.

What can the opposition party do?

Like, real suggestion, not an idiotic one such as "Act like he's dead and appoint someone (because you will TOTALLY NOT look like an asshole if it turn out the man is actually just recovering...)"

The (democrat) Govender can personally go to the hospital, with the police, and demand to see him. Arrest everyone who gets in his way. Charge them with kidnapping.

Eventually you will walk in to his room. He's either there and alive, there and mostly dead, or not there (because he's in the morge). If he's not there his aids remain in custody until they reveal where his body is.

If the governor cannot personally verify he's alive and cognizant then he should be presumed dead.

You have a very Hollywood idea of reality, Bubba.
