2026 local government elections real time results and updates

[TheChamp]

Does anyone know what's going on in KZN? I assume Ethekwini will be a deciding factor and then the other hung councils will fall into place

The Liberation Movement fought gallantly to keep the tribal Stokvel out, your chance of drooling over Duduzane in council while washing your hair is up in smoke.

MKP + EFF partnership can take Mandeni, nothing else.

RIP Mandeni.

Well, Herman was once caught saying the sweetest things about Zille, worth noting that Zille has never said anything nice about Mashaba, probably stringing him along to get her filthy hands on the metros, not very far fetched.

Who gives a crap if she hasn’t boosted his ego? She didn’t spend the whole campaign insulting him and tweeting about him every two mins. Then coming with demands he be removed from negotiations like the arrogant prick he is.

Still doesn't change the fact that I think Brink and the DA in Pta are useless. And I still think service delivery has improved in my area since Moya became mayor.

Keep Mashaba and Beaumont out of Pta please!

Brink was only the mayor for just over a year, but also had to contend with councillors not pitching, strikes, motions of no-confidence. But sure okay cool, sadly with ASA you will get Mashaba and Beaumont involvement, there is a reason they sided with the ANC to get PTA.
You've also been lucky with service delivery, others in PTA are saying it's worse.

If there is one municipality that needs saving is Mfuleni - it's an absolute disaster that place. My in-laws stay there, and it's very depressing driving through that place. Potholes that have been there for over 5 years in some places. Drive over the border into the DA led Midvaal and suddenly it looks normal again..

Likely for DA and ActionSA to tie up here if ANC DA grand coalition fails. All plausible majority permutations include DA.

Well, all that is the past, now the only problem is how does Zille become Mayor? it's going to be very embarrassing after all the trouble she went through if she has to go back to Cape Town in defeat, we all know bullies don't like losing, she might die of a broken heart.

Listen to her in that clip. She's playing the partner whose taken the higher ground rather well

Probably, but it sounds a lot more credible. Mashaba is discredited by a single montage of him saying her name 20+ times. Backed up by his Twatter history. And even in post-election interviews about coalitions where nobody brings it up, he does.

The ex who makes their break-up public and keeps harping on about it is always the one who looks like the psychotic d00s. Eventually all your friends start telling you to stfu...

If this trend holds.. 2029 will see the ANC a 20% party.

Nice deflection there. So predictable.

I've happily accepted my team losing yanksville mid-terms

But accepting Heleen as Jhb mayor... notavok!

And who's been in charge since the massive drops? Hmmm...

Tsek you don't even live here. I'm sure the DA doing well in Maritzburg will see an increase in cosmetics and hair product on the supermarket shelves, you should be celebrating...

Those elections are going to be very interesting methinks. Heard on the radio this morning that there was a marked increase in voter turnout from the last local elections to this one. If there is some semblance of good governance in areas that were previously ANC strongholds that have now been taken over, it could snowball even further for the ANC.

Brink was only the mayor for just over a year.

Again, not an excuse. You don't give that excuse for useless short term mayors in Jhb, do you? Why do it for useless Brink?

You've also been lucky with service delivery, others in PTA are saying it's worse.

That will happen anywhere. In Jhb some areas might get better, other areas not so much. Won't be the same for everyone everywhere.

KZN is up in the air... just the way I like it
