I'm an ass worshipper. There's a big difference

But relax baba. Nov 4 is coming. We will see if your bum chum goes into hiding or bends over and takes it like a man

Zille is targeting the ANC’s heartland in Joburg, but voters are doubtful

If the DA wants to win a majority in Johannesburg, it’ll need to improve in Soweto. The party has pockets of support, but it faces an uphill battle.…

Gareth van Onselen’s Inside Politics reports that the DA won 31,324 ward ballot votes (9.77%) in Soweto under Mmusi Maimane’s leadership in 2016, but that dropped to 9,355 (4.1%) in 2021 as many voters stayed away from the polls.

Some other crucial quotes:

Dobsonville resident Pearl Masuku said: “I am not a member of the DA, but they have a strong presence here, and I think they will do well in the elections.”

Kabelo Mofokeng said: “If you take a look at Soweto now and political activity here, the DA is clearly growing, if not in numbers in popularity, followed by the MK party and Al Jama-ah. That’s just my observation as a resident of Soweto, Meadowlands.”

That should send some shivers down your spine.

Good on the DA for not being scared to go into Soweto. It’ll be a tough fight and Zille has been campaigning for a year now.

Funny and ironic thing is that it is Zille who threw all that support away with her second coming, undoing all the work Maimane had done, now Zille is trying to reclaim the votes.

I doubt she will come even close to the support the DA had there, it's too little too late.

For some odd reason, it doesn't, maybe we need to look at how the DA did in 2024 there to see omif there is any merit to the alleged strong growth?

And I wonder what exactly does this mean?

Forget about @Sideshow Bob, do you have any comment on the crux of the matter? Would it not be a shame if the highly popular Zille does not even manage to beat Maimane’s numbers?

Don’t know what this is. But you okay?

Also, we shall see how right you are about this after 4th November.
 
TheChamp said:
Of course we shall see, the great Zille has a very simple test, will she be able to beat Maimane’s benchmark? I think she will be a spectacular failure.

Okay like I said we will see. Not sure why you’re harping on about it.
