Cape Town are so lucky

I still use this as an example.

My municipal refuse bin was falling apart (it was more than 15 years old).
I requested a new bin on the City Of Cape Towns website just after lunch time on a Friday afternoon.
They then delivered a brand new bin and collected the old the next morning, yes on the Saturday.

Of course, I doubt you would ever find anyone who said that.

Then please stop stereotyping right wingers.

If Zulus vote for Zulus then one would expect MK and IFP, but not ANC.

Mate. There has never been a single vote in the history of the new democracy of this country where there wasn't ANC representation in KZN.

If you thought I was speaking in the sort of absolutes you appear to be expecting I can't help you. No reasonable person would infer that.

We're obviously talking about a general trend. So far that general trend is very very apparent. Like it always is. Why for some people does this obvious reality have to be constantly explicitly pointed out? The entirety of your life works like this, why would this one thing be any different?

DA + ASA FTW. Mashaba should just shut TF up and swallow his pride.

Maybe John can offer Beaumont his wife back as a peace offering.

Ok, calm down.

I'm more flabbergasted than angry mate.

It's exasperating to have to constantly explain this to you. Very seldom, in colloquial English, are people speaking in absolutes.

As per latest results, Msholozi is stampeding on Durban

 

[dualmeister]

DA predicted 58% in CPT.
Currently ...

You Christian I suppose ? Looks like biblical morals.

As long as they stay under 50% I think we will be okay.

 

[Captain Slog]

Good morning! Loving what I am seeing this morning. So far, so good - 46% of the votes counted.

I do not trust them! I will not rest easy until the final results are posted! Maybe someone, somewhere, is furiously stuffing ballot boxes and the final 54% will hold serious surprises!

By the way, the right wingers who said the ANC would never give up power if they lost elections, because "that's what happens in Africa" are still walking amongst us.

Yeah just because something didn't happen doesn't mean it was never a real risk.

There's lots of cases especially more locally were the ANC do kill(mostly their own councilors or people trying to stop corruption) and fight violently to remain in power.

Lucky at the top they are fat, lazy and ready to retire.

Nah, needs to be quite a bit under 50% for the city to be ok.

We need them to be around 41 - 43% at most for their to be a reasonable chance that all the one seat parties don't just cosy up to them for access to the trough.
