and he has been running his mouth off all week about how that will never happen.

I can only imagine that the condition is that Helen doesn't become mayor... which is fine by me

Mashaba seems determined to shoot his own party in the foot, which is fine by me. If the DA stands by Zille and no coalition the ASA/ANC for jhb ASA/ANC/EFF/?? for pretoria. Come national election either ANC or ASA will be blamed for the messes, One of the parties will cease to exist.

I believe he has already jumped into bed with the ANC ...

With the condition that Helen isn’t part of the deal. Pathetic little man.

All that this really shows is that political parties will do whatever they need to hold power, the needs of the public are immaterial to holding power.

Makes way more sense for the ANC to go with the DA so he has shot himself in the foot.

Ultimately the ANC will choose the option that gives them more power.
Sticking with the DA keeps the GNU alive as well.

I just hope they can work out something that does not put the ANC / ASA / EFF / MK in the same coalition otherwise the Gauteng is f* for another 5 years.

Why has the media portrayed this fellow as an Ace Playmaker?

ANC can go with DA in JHB
and ANC needs DA + IFP for Ethekwini & Msunduzi

All these other clowns are behaving as if they have a birthright to fully control.

They're all just hell bent to not allow "Gogo" to tell them what to do. It's pride.

Bro, what Helen do to you?

 

[Urist]

What is democracy for if they can just make deals willy nilly and put a parties in place in an area that wasn't voted for, it defeats the purpose of local elections.

 

[Jefferson D'Arcy]

It means the swamps in the south are filled to the brim with thieves which are primed and ready, whereas PTA requires direct management to develop the networks beyond just water tankers and that scumbag doing 'security'.

Bro, what Helen do to you?

I think she is a good administrator but she runs her mouth about stupid things.

2 biggest things were:

• She said atheists can't be moral. Not only is this wrong but it also doesn't align with the secular nature of the party.
• She said that colonialism was good, which I'm sure you can make arguments for but is a stupid thing to say when you are trying to attract people who were directly affected by colonialism.
• She wrote an entire book about how bad wokeism is, when it's not even the biggest problem in SA.

These things might not be important to others but for *me* I can't wait to see the end of her.

ANC/.ASA/EFF is currently running Tshwane and people are saying they are getting services (not me but hey /shrug)

DA is going to have to eat humble pie, or hand the province back to the ANC. If that happens, they will lose the next election as well.

And who is going to win the next election if not the DA?

ANC + ASA with even more corruption and less service delivery or a MK without Zuma

Until such time at the DA get an outright majority they will have to create coalition governments, They are a long way away from an outright majority. Better for Helen to stand down on her dreams of being Mayor and for the DA to make a deal with Action SA at this point, although I must admit I dislike Herman intensely. The alternative is the ANC creates an alliance with Action SA and the DA get squeezed out completely.

I guess we really are looking at everywhere but Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard turning into a decrepit, dirt strewn hole in the style of Liberia with the occasional motorcade rushing through and fat mercenaries waddling around with automatic weapons.

My expectations were too high, and the outcome of the elections has brought me back to earth, change isn't going to be as easy as we thought, until a decent party get outright majorities, the decline is guaranteed for the foreseeable future unfortunately.
