2026 local government elections real time results and updates

[Lupus]

Ladies and gentlemen, we've entered a new era. A non-ANC dominated era. Let's see what happens. Things can only get better.

To the death of the ANC

With ASA, ain't gonna happen

 

[Leisure Larry]

Holy moly, Durban actually finished counting their votes

I foresee an ANC-DA-IFP-ActionSA co-operation here

62% want this.
Who is going to make Msholozi understand that.

Won't work with them unless Zille is not there... Here's what I wonder, would the DA accede to removing Zille to govern without ANC in JHB?

Or rather govern with ANC to keep Zille...

Interesting times.

They could easily get a puppet that Zille can control from her sister's backyard.

 

[B-1]

Finally one more voting district to go then its all counted.

They need ANC in Durban, they dont need ASA.

Good description of Mashaba:

After losing over 30% of its support, the ANC still has double the number of DA seats, can we all agree the DA is exceptionally incompetent and call it a day?

Yes, that is a plus.

The black people of SA were crushed in all aspects of life by whites and it took that long before a supposed white party would see black people cast their vote for them.

That time has come, many blacks now see that the ANC has failed and isn't capable of governing properly. Whereas in the past they hoped the ANC would come right.

No, many blacks just aren't ready to leave their struggle party behind, it has nothing to do with competence.

Lol

The Goat says Helen is a racist. Is this true?

They can't do that. It opens the way for anyone to point a gun at their head. No party that believes in democracy will allow another party to make leadership demands, it violates every democratic principle...

There is always a reasonable explanation.

Well, she thinks colonialism was good for black people, what do you think?

View attachment 1952329

All the municipalities in the middle of nowhere that can't fund themselves and need provincial handouts...

Roads, electricity and piped water not good for black people?

Well the DA is growing unlike the ANC. Would you rather be a growing party or a party in long-term decline?

It does not have to be explicit, Zille can come out and say how disappointed she is she never got the percentage she aimed for and therefore she will fall on her sword, because she is an honourable leader. She them goes back to Cape Town and someone takes her place.
