You are obviously not very numerate. Interesting that the DA share of the vote also went UP compared to the by-election in 2024. It's also a ward that was already held by the PA.

At least we are now it the acceptance stage, the ward was already held by the PA so it doesn't matter that it was taken from us.

It's a mainly colored community, the 42% must be traitors.

Don't get me wrong - it would have been ideal to have snatched it back, but I'm challenging the notion that somehow this shows the DA 'in distress' in WC. This type of ward is pretty right up the PA's alley, and they only pipped the DA by a couple of 100 votes, which doesn't bode well for the majority of wards in the WC where the demographics aren't so friendly (i.e. rural coloured).

How do the demographics look like? Because the Western Cape is mainly a coloured province, if that is the trend, then it augurs well for the PA.

All of them traitors because they don't vote for DA now. @CTBP will shortly be excommunicating all these traitors and force them out of WC soon.

In the Western Cape, the Coloured community forms the largest demographic and a strong plurality, making up 42.1% of the province's population

You don't believe the DA is in distress in the Western Cape?

It depends on what you mean by 'in distress'. A lower vote share compared to 2021? Yeah, almost certainly given the PA and some unhappy base DA voters in Cape Town specifically in regard to the rates debacle, but it's uncertain how significant the unhappiness is. The PA also has a problem in Cape Town specifically with parties like the NCC who compete with them for the same pool of voters (coloured nationalists). The DA will almost certainly retain their wards in coloured areas of Cape Town due to the split vote of PA & NCC.

How significant is the NCC though? The PA looks like a runaway train as far as coloured representation is concerned in the province.
