Are we not all allowed to freely express our views? Of course I want the DA out!

So basically "same s**t, different day" for another 5 years....didn't expect much else TBH.

I just can't see any radical changes coming to our political landscape...not in my lifetime anyway. It will take YEARS and YEARS before we see the dominance of the ANC slip away. While people continue to vote with their emotions instead of their heads we won't see any positive change.

Unfortunately that will be the case. DA usually starts out strong as the organised areas are quick to count but then as the township votes start to come in near the end the ANC numbers surge.

I am truly disappointed in the majority South Africans. The last few years have been the toughest since the end of Apartheid with an endless list of ANC failures (Zuma being the biggest, economy going downhill, endless strikes, job losses, Marikana, blatant corruption, e-toll ...) but yet people still vote ANC :wtf: I mean Zuma is boo'd at whenever he speaks by his own people they still vote for him.

What's with the outrage? You haven't actually said why the DA is better ruling there than the ANC only raging. He is just doing the same :wtf:

Because ANC supporters are supporting the ANC. Not Zuma.

It will mean that they have two municipalities in Gauteng. The DA can also get PE through coalition (with the current results).

This is not a municipal election. These results mean nothing for local government.

As I said, too many people who vote with their emotions.

You have no idea how many of my co-workers (who are well versed and well educated), even though they're aware of the serious shortcomings of the ANC and have issue with Zuma etc, still support them.

There are just too many voters who for some reason still associate white leadership with "apartheid" and who's wounds from that era will never seem to heal.

Look at my impromptu list of ANC failtures. Zuma is just one of them and then there is the fact that the ANC put a thing like that at the helm in the first place.

The ironic thing is the "majority" that continue to vote ANC will continue to live in squalor whilst the connected few are livin la vida loca.
