They probably won't get a majority, I agree with that.
But the ANC is definitely not getting a majority either, and nobody is exactly running to be their friend after they collapsed the city. And it wouldn't surprise me if they fall to 3rd or 4th largest like they did in KZN. Even Herman is sober enough to start distancing himself. The EFF and Al-Jamahaha is also complicit in this collapse so they will probably take a hit too. The DA will get whatever they get. So that leaves MK as the dark horse.
The way it looks to me is everyone is isolated from everyone else. Nobody wants to be friends with each other and risk the further political fallout if they can't fix it. The DA is the only one putting their cock on the block with some kind of plan, whether anyone wants to be their friend or not...
