So it seems like Cyril has been caught in another lie. In his attack on the DA he changed Jonas designation from special envoy to the US (his official statement) to special envoy to North America...

Squirrel is having a torrid time atm, those evil WMC racist DA people are being irritating and pointing things out that nobody should know about.
 
@TheChamp - you just watch next election when millions of SA citizens from ozland vote ANC out of power.

We have four by-elections today: two in the EC and one each in KZN and Limpopo. Beginning with Nelson Mandela by-election, we have a familiar contest between the DA and the PA (the main results are the 2024 provincial results with the 2021 municipal results in brackets). Unlike other DA-PA wards, the DA vote share decrease was not dramatic despite the PA surging, suggesting a degree of 'stickiness' to the DA vote.

Moving onto Nqushwa, we again use the 2024 provincial results as the main set of results as the ANC vote share in 2021 was depressed by an independent. This should be an ANC hold.

Moving over to KZN, we see that if the provincial KZN results are applied to the ward, the MK just pipped the IFP, with the ANC greatly suffering here - far more than the IFP, which barely lost more than a percentage of the vote between 2021 and 2024. This will be a super close contest and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.

There's another super-marginal ward in Polokwane, where the ANC and the EFF will battle it out. It's located in Malema's hometown of Seshego, however, the EFF has been suffering greatly in by-elections recently so I think the ANC could easily take the ward.

"A safe third country deportation flight to Eswatini in Southern Africa has landed. The flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back," department of homeland security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said on Tuesday.

In a thread on social media platform X, McLaughlin named five deportees from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen and said they were convicted of crimes ranging from child rape to murder.
