Election results: South African May 2024

[ToxicBunny]

You're very optimistic.

No realistic.

This song was in my head today. I think a certain party could have chosen a better name:

 

[skimread]

You’ve not been paying attention I see.

1. The ANC got 57% in 2019.
2. Since 2004 the ANC has been in decline and never increased voter share. So 60% is not happening.

ANC will loose its majority. This is the first election since ‘94 where that is all people are talking about and literally every poll out there putting them below 50%. That’s never happened before.

Yes some provinces like WC and KZN they won't. But most others they will

ANC will fail to secure a majority in:

- KZN
- WC
- GP
- National.

 

[JuliusSeizure]

- KZN
- WC
- GP
- National.

They might reclaim GP and National via coalition.

KZN might be a mess. Regardless of what happens, I just hope a solution can be found without a big mess and violence. Regardless of who is in power, things wont improve for most people there because it is going to be an unstable government.

 

[Priapus]

They might reclaim GP and National via coalition.

They will be in government at a national level. But no majority.

To me that’s a step in the right direction. No party in SA should have a majority in government.

 

[Supervan II]

I don’t see how the ANC would lose 21% of their votes to be honest.

Perhaps not that much, BUT never underestimate Zulu pride.

KZN will make or (hopefully) break the ANC.

True. But at what expense? If it means that the MK get votes and there’s a Zuma-Renaissance within government, then it’s not worth it in my view.

 

[DapperDanMan]

Any guesses to who won yet?

Infectious Disease.

Especially at the indoor voting stations.

Unfortunately...

Some people are going to leave [those nightmare] venues at 3AM.

 

[Priapus]

Some people are going to leave [those nightmare] venues at 3AM.

As long as everyone in the queue stays and votes. This election is too important.

Do it for your country.

My mom works at one of the voting stations, she can only go home after the counting is done, she been there since 7am. However she does get paid, not sure how much.

 

[hellfire]

I wonder how the electoral court will rule against Ramaphosa about his speech on the eve of the elections ... every % makes a big difference; the ANC really cannot afford to lose even that

What can they actually do about it though?

 

[DapperDanMan]

Do it for your country.

For King [Louis] and country!

 

[JuliusSeizure]

For King [Louis] and country!

Why didn't he just link up with MK?

 

[DapperDanMan]

Why didn't he just link up with MK?

Delusions of grandeur.

 

[TheChamp]

Why didn't he just link up with MK?

One thing all those Zuma aligned people have shown, they don't trust Zuma so they decided to go it alone.

I would say very good on them, at least they have learnt something.

 

[TheChamp]

uBaba would have def given him a seat high up on the list if he offered one to Visvin who is almost certain to go to parliament. Visvin is not even loaded like this guy but is known for interrupting and fighting at meetings in Durban.

The guy dumped Schabir Shaik as soon as the Guptas came knocking, look at how he has just dumped Khumalo, he was never going to hesitate to dump Liebenberg as soon as another benefactor with much more deeper pockets arrives.
