Pretoria gets Cope mayor with ANC-EFF support

The ward councillors at least have a way of being contacted. DA also put real effort into fixing the Wapadrand substation this past year, while ANC wouldn't touch it with a 100m pole. Many people just sold and left because of it.

Not perfect, but at least better than the ANC.
Why would the ANC touch it with a 100m pole? It's the DA who were governing Tshwane and fixing the station was their problem?

You put the bar very low.

When last did you drive over Graham Road?

I was happy when the DA took over a few years ago, but I battle to see any improvements.
 
A mayor from a minority party might be good. I just hope he is one of the real Cope. Cope is such a mess
 
Does it matter?

It is not as if the DA did a great job.
The DA were stuck in a coalition that wasn't exactly helping. Same as in JHB and why voting in smaller parties just leads to the ANC running the place

Tshwane was different, unlike JHB and Ekurhuleni they were not reliant on the EFF support, they failed on their own with their trusted coalition partners, ActionSA, ACDP, IFP and the Freedom Front behind them.
 
They are acting like the ANC. I thought they supported secret ballots.
They do support secret ballots, it's traitors they cannot stand. This happened soon after Maimane told everyone to vote with the conscience.

I guess he never realised their is zero conscience in the ANC/EFF.

Sometimes if the DA fsckup you just need to stop blaming the ANC for it and own it. They can be really stupid Sometimes. It is okay
 
The hunt for the traitors continues


Kinda defeats the purpose of a secret ballot?

If these guys are doing this, what makes them better than the ANC?

EXACTLY!
Solly was good then they kicked him out cause he was making the JHB mayor look like a cake walk. No man DA brought this city down onto its knees. ANC did a better job, they stole, but they fixed the potholes and cut the grass and did something. DA... pfft

Was worse with the ANC.
The muni had to battle ANC administrators that was employed on long term contracts just before the DA took over. It has been an uphill battle.
If voters followed the local politics more closely they would have known much more. Like the diesel contract for the busses. Much more were going on than what the media reports. And when they do correct the statements in the media the da are told they are making excuses.

They were not perfect but things were slowly ticking up.

Like the water shedding, the DA contracted diesel powered pumps to help fill up
Reservoirs when Rand water had issues with Loadshedding. Its not reported on though.

Yes there are shyt things as well like the financial reports.

We obviously live in different areas with different councilors
