Oh I do it every election cycle...

In my Ward, the "middle class" voting stations report relatively quickly (for DBN that is) and are always overwhelmingly DA, and you get your hopes up... and then towards the end of the counting the township areas report in and just shatter your dreams :(

KZN is ANC territory though; I don't see it changing much, unfortunately. Is your ward ANC?

Eventually dreams do come true.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Of course it is... eThekwini is ANC country through and through, but one does always hope that things will shift.

The metro? The ANC do win but the issue is that none of the other parties ever get close to them with the opposition vote heavily split. Closest is DA at around half what the ANC get. They win more than half the vote but it isn't overwhelming.

I know its not overwhelming, but its always comfortable enough that the ANC have not been concerned about losing this financial cashcow until MAYBE this election...

but as you say, the opposition is split and that is one of the very big problems with SA at this point, we have 1 major party and a myriad of "opposition" parties that just muddy the water and split the vote so its incredibly difficult to effectively challenge the ANC's majority.

Businessman Rob Hersov breaks silence over alleged Atlantic Seaboard ’hit list’​

An excerpt from the emailed list, alleged to have been sent by Hersov, read: “And please would you ditch any more kowtowing to the nasty leftists, especially the following ratbags…”
The list then details a number of people who are described as “undeniably nasty”, “low grade leftist punk”, and “weasel”.

What would Jews find attractive about the FF+ though? Indeed many Jews might think that the FF's desire for an independent volkstaat has a parallel to a certain famous Austrian painter's concept of "Lebensraum".

many live in the area, while they may share the same faith they are a diverse community - some conservative, some liberal - some very orthodox, others not so much.

I could not find anything in the VF+ saying they want a "Volkstaat". Do you have a reference for this?
 
Anyone seen that facebook story stating that boxes where found in limpopo with ANC ticked on Sunday?

Can it be confirmed?
