This once again shows that every vote really can make a difference.

Unfortunately, there are too few wards like that in SA. I have never done an analysis, but I'd be surprised if 10% of wards were genuinely "marginal" in SA (winning party with let's say less than 10 percentage point lead).

The DA gets beaten by Gwaza Mkhonto but it is somehow ActionSA's fault?

I know it hurts It's too early to unravel.

Did you forget the earlier post you made in this thread? It was the random independent who got like 374 votes in one heavily-DA voting district that almost certainly cost the DA victory here. If AuctionSA were indeed supporting/helping this "independent" candidate, then Zille is well within her rights to make this claim.

Exactly, an independent candidate, how is that ActionSA's fault again?

Nidzakiwe?

How do you reduce illegal border crossings by 215% ?

Wouldn't a 100% reduction mean no illegal crossings?

It’s a deliberate misuse of maths for political points.

Let’s say last month saw a 20% reduction, and now it’s 63% — someone might (incorrectly) say that’s a 215% improvement in reduction, though it’s a misuse of terms.

Can you not read what Helen Zille is alleging? AuctionSA campaigned for the independent candidate...

She didn't allege anything. She openly said that ActionSA politically endorsed, "backed", an independent candidate's election campaign.

To approve openly is common in the political arena, as it is in business.

I feel this needs its own thread. Some important extract:
According to i24NEWS legal commentator Avishai Grinzaig, the court determined that South Africa’s attempt to present evidence without allowing Israel access to it was a serious breach of legal norms. The ICJ ruled that witness identities and evidence cannot be concealed from the defendant state, reinforcing the principle of due process.
