2026 local government elections real time results and updates

The municipality that is sacrificed will remember it. Doubt voters will then be forgiving when national elections roll around in 2029 and motivation to punish the culprits allowing the trade will be high as that will be 3 years of loot and plunder.

Neighbor municipalities may want the same having to wait 5 years with ongoing decay can make people think why vote it doesn't matter.

Dangerous game to play.

Surely having the DA in the council would make a difference?

Not really a "sacrifice", they would still have most of the MMC positions, and most likely the important ones like finance. Just giving up the mayoralty. Pretty much the same arrangement they have with the ANC, except the ANC was too useless and/or busy stealing to capitalise on those MMC positions...

Depends on the horsetrading and I suspect the price is going to be high.

ANC is officially a 30%er party

I have a problem with this, voters in PTA now have to be satisfied with not getting what they voted for since it is acceptable to horsetrade your vote to get something in a different city.

PTA didn't vote for the DA. 35% is just not enough. 2/3 of the people voted for someone else.

Nobody won in PTA.

uMngeni. 9 votes for the ANC/MK criminal organisation. IFP got 1. And DA got 15 seats, 2 more than the previous election.

VF Plus Shame they had a hard time here and Pappas had allegedly falsely accused them publically a couple of times due to two of their mentally ill supporters being absolutely morons and disgusting people on Social media. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19vsyCkHkr/

Check the gerrymandering in Lainsburg. No wards in the first 2 elections, and I focused on ward 4 for the rest, 2026 ward 4 is the black dot the arrow is pointing at:

Next national is going to be interesting. A few thoughts:

1. Folks are complaining about Cyril but I think a big part of the fall ofbthe anc has actually been internal strife and splintering. Eff, MK etc , those are more the ANC voter base shearing off than movement from the others. Choice is a good thing for democracy though but to lay it all at Cyrils door after years of bad decisions, management and corruption is just as blind.

2. Many folk, KZN and others, firmly believe that MK is a one man party. Huge leadership turnover , instability and rhetoric get it now where. So what happens if by next Election , JZ has passed? Already had one severe medical scare and time is no one's friend. What happens to those voter's? I don't see the same staying with the party and I don't see them returning to he ANC either.

4. EFF are dead. They have been relegated into the shadows .

5. This election also shows arguably the better educated voters. Avoiding blind obediance and race, matters are more about class and living. There are still the more basic in some areas and provinces but it does feel like we have a good and true democracy. What our politicians do with it is another story but our elections are pretty solid.

I would like to know who the new ANC President will be after Cyril is recalled like all the other State Presidents.

Will it be Fix Fokkal or Rainbow Solar IPP Tenderpreneur/BEE Billionaire Patrice or Paul Doesnt Own Any Mansions Mashatile?

Patrice will appeal to the more business savvy but I don't know his stage charisma and that bis also a big part of ANC draw in the older base.

What business savvy members are there at the ANC conference? Is that how Zuma was elected?

IFP will parachute in KZN after Zuma drowns in the shower while Duduzane steals as much as possible in the next 5 years
