EFF apparently nowhere BUT...

[JerryMungo]

But one more vote for someone even worse

Which has proven to be fruitless in this type of election. % doesn't matter, ward wins do.

Also keep in mind of how relatively young the EFF is. It's extraordinary to see them in the top 3.

Wait, they're in the top 3? Then explain this map:

I think it illustrates the point I'm making nicely. The majority of that red in the East is not EFF by the way.

Not everyone is as uneducated as you make them out to be. There are people which will trump your intelligence, but supports a whole other ideology.

Those people have already been polled.

I'm taking about the uneducated masses that vote anc because the free chicken and t-shirt once every 4 years is still better than it was under apartheid they have no TV, media any of that white privileged stuff all they know is yellow and that's what they tick off.

I wish the numbers for EFF were a little higher actually. Every vote they get for now is a vote less for Zuma.

I don't know if that is so good.

See the ANC we know we understand we can live with and predict.

The EFF on the other hand. I don't think South Africa would be able to control them.

How does that help us? It changes nothing when they want to do something? It does not stop the billions we lose every day due to incompetence and corruption?

I did not say it's good. I said I can live with that and you can predict that it will happen.

ANC wins you know, money waste, corruption and tenders.

EFF wins, see you don't know. Murder? Rape, destruction? Peaceful government? Prosperity of South Africa?

You simply don't know.

Between two evils I tend to pick the one I've known the longest.

I tend to agree with you there.

A good example of a close call is Tshwane:

46 DA, 40 ANC, 10 EFF...
Ultimately EFF may get to decide who wins it by coalition, but the DA's gains are IMO due to the EFF's gains as much as their own.

 

[CruelBreeze]

I'm surprised they (the EFF) have not made a larger impact than this. Maybe all the screaming and shouting have not worked as well as I thought it might.

Someone said the EFF is like the popular guy at school that all he girls are crazy about but would never settle down with.

Good way of looking at it.
