Yet Zuma also brought us the best news of the last few years, apparently the ANC lost control of 75c of every rand they used to control before the elections.
Now that calls for a Viva!
Seems I even understated, City Press recons its more like 80c out of every rand http://city-press.news24.com/Voices/ancs-big-loss-20160819Source? That sounds quite steep for three metros.
The crux is, prior to these elections, the ANC controlled 85% of the R228 billion combined budget of the eight metros, while the DA controlled a mere 15%.
In losing Nelson Mandela Bay and Tshwane, and failing to secure an outright majority in Johannesburg, the ANC stands to lose control of a combined metros budget of R130 billion.
This translates to a potential loss of control of 80% of the combined metros’ budget nationwide.
