ANC set to lose majority

A model developed by the CSIR shows that the ANC looks set to fall well short of obtaining a parliamentary majority for the first time since it came to power.

A developed tech model is not a physical counted vote. Let's wait for the counted results and not get panties in a knot before the time.

So they're not kissing it goodbye yet? Or are we saving that headline until the results are declared...

"ANC kissing it's majority goodbye"

So far no real power shift has happened and those percentages really mean nothing but just more squabbles. The only real result is that it looks like they are transitioning ANC thieves to MK thieves

Please hold.
The ANC is frantically completing more ballot papers to rectify this.

That is true. Not sure why anyone is happy. ANC+MK+EFF is a recipe for disaster.

Exactly. This is far worse than an ANC majority. Now they have to appease their extremist partners.

AnC will have a >50% Majority by Cronyism and Bribery as usual (Alliances with other African Pastries)

I guess at this point, the ANC Is probably praying very hard for PA or less extremist parties to coalition with to have enough votes.

Look at the bigger picture. No more ANC majority rule. I'll take that as a big win.

We are royally f#cked.

You can trust that model. I have had interactions with the CSIR's system in 5 elections over last couple of decades. It usually is accurate to within a percent or two.
