The results are irrelevant. This is National and provincial elections. Even if Tshwane got 100% DA vote. It changes nothing for the city.

Same here ain't paid a cent, only the people at individual level can destroy this system by not paying. The ballot seems to be failing

Look at Tshwane and CoJ. Both much much bigger than CT.

WC is the majority of DA votes and they are accounted for already. They come in early and make DA look strong in the early stages. Usually goes downhill from there.

In past elections all the metros reported early. It was the rural areas that were slow. This time things seem to have reversed.

Taken from wiki

The Independent Civic Organisation of South Africa (ICOSA) is a South African minor political party. It was founded by former ANC Karoo District Municipality manager Truman Prince,[1] who was expelled from the party in January 2006,.[2] He was reinstated as municipal manager by the municipal council in June 2007 after a protracted legal battle, but was fired from his post in August by provincial vote.[3] Jeffrey Donson, formerly of the National People's Party (NPP), is the current president.

The DA/ICOSA coalition took power in the Kannaland Local Municipality in August 2006 when the short-lived ANC-led coalition pact with the DA collapsed. The coalition of the DA and ICOSA collapsed when 2 ICOSA and 3 ANC councillors crossed the floor giving the NPP 5 seats out of 9 in the council or an outright majority (the only such council in SA that was governed by this fledgling new party at the time). The DA refused to recognize the new NPP-led council administration as it alleged that the 2 ICOSA defectors were sacked prior to the floor-crossing window being open and were then challenged in the Cape High Court. As such its former mayor refused to "step down" pending the outcome of the case, creating uncertainty and instability in this beleaguered council.

In the 2011 municipal election, ICOSA regained a plurality in the Kannaland municipality with three seats while the ANC and the DA won two each.

ANC lost 1% in GP while DA gain 1%. 19% of the votes counted. Interesting.
 
The Congress of the People will be returning to the drawing board following a disappointing showing in the fifth general elections.

"We will wait for the results to be in and see where to from here," spokesman Johann Abrie told Sapa at the results centre in Pretoria.

"We will wait until the end and see how many seats we have and see where we need to make changes moving forward."

He blamed the party's poor performance on lack of media coverage. He accused the media of focusing too much on the Economic Freedom Fighters.

"Unfortunately without proper coverage you can't compete in the election," he said.

He added that the media had portrayed an image of infighting within the party that was also a contributing factor.

By midday, the party had 59,124 votes nationally, meaning they were at least guaranteed a seat in Parliament.

"We will not lose hope, the founding principles of Cope are stronger than before," he said.

Purposefully withholding the GP Metros in case some last minute manipulations are required, no doubt.

Or parties are not happy with the results and are demanding a recount? Could this be a swing vote for JHB?
