More like the EFF and ANC abandoning ASA after what happened to those two in GP. If the ANC and EFF do it again, I will honestly laugh at the sheer stupidity, it'll be 10% and 3% for them next time. If ASA ends up winning metros outright next time I honestly wouldn't have an issue with it, despite their egos they're better at governance than those two...

The EFF and ANC won't abandon ASA. They have to, at all costs, avoid the DA gaining even more of a foothold in Gauteng. The enemy of my enemy is my friend politics. It stinks for the voters but the electoral system was designed and let to fester for this exact situation.

Except their real enemy isn't the DA, it wasn't the DA who decimated their support...

Not sure why anyone thinks ASA voters will abandon them. They've been in bed with the EFF and nobody abandoned them

Heck they've improved compared to the rest

It's just DA supporters trying some old and tired emotional blackmail on other parties, first time I suggested an ANC / DA coalition, I was almost skinned alive by DA supporters, apparently the DA was going to die like the National Party, fast forward to now, the DA is happily eating at the trough and the same people who were against it have long forgotten about it, now they are saying ActionSA will die if they go into a coalition with the ANC.

Problem is that they think we are all from Oudtshoorn.

they are necessary to get past 50% + 1.

In Tshwane, the ANC, ActionSA, EFF and SACP have a majority, there is still the MK with 4 seats and the PA with 2.

In Joburg ANC, ActionSA , EFF, Rise, IFP and PA have a majority, that excludes MK with 15 seats, and ATM with 3.

In Ekurhuleni, ANC, ActionSA and EF have a majority, and there is still MK with 15 seats, IFP with 3, PA with 3, SACP with 2.

As you can see, the 1% parties are not necessary.

I've stayed clear from posting here for a while but as I see it neither the ANC nor ASA can allow DA to govern in Gauteng.

This is, unfortunately, one of those situations where party survival trumps the will of the people. Mashaba's suggestion that he and Zille take a back seat is just a sideshow. The DA in their minds cannot head Western Cape and Gauteng. That's quite simply a bridge too far.

The DA should prepare to sit in the opposition benches.

I've been thinking along the same lines. The DA has got the only sane coalition proposals, but the ANC, once again, will put its ego first, ignoring that ignoring what the peoples votes have indicated are pushing it into oblivion.

Mashaba will let his massive insecurity complex with respect to Zille rule his head, and not work alongside the DA.

So, let the DA run Cape Town, make it the sole shining beacon in SA, and the ANC, ASA and the rest turn on themselves in a struggle for power in the other municipalities. With associated service delivery implosion.

Then next elections the chickens will really come home to roost.

I'm pretty sure they know it too, but the DA controlling the two biggest provinces (not just metros) is far more of a threat long term than getting in bed with the very party that eroded their support. That's a short term problem, much like the EFF, as far as they're concerned. The DA is the big fish here with us being midway through to our next national election.

What about Lesedi, Emfuleni, Mogale City, Rand West City and Merafong City? Why are you including MK?

Cos DA Bad and Helen is a nasty old white lady who might be mean to them and make them actually work... so best go with any other option, no matter how retarded it is.

Too late to ask now. Ask me in 2029 when you're ready to go stand in a line like a good little sheep again

The sheep voted in the DA in Cape Town, so going to vote does make a difference.

If they keep the DA out in Joburg, the other parties will ruin it even further. Wonder what the voters will make of that.
