Anyone paying attention to Madlanga?

Looks like Senzo was poking his nose in all the places it did not belong, probably to gather enough dirt on people to use for his presidency campaign.

I'm still wondering who in the ANC was behind that Magaqa hit

 

[Nom Chompsky]

How many wards has the DA won off other parties in a whole year?

Not sure, but it was probably in double digits in 2025. Some person did a review at the tail end of last year but can't remember the account.

When was any other result expected in the current management of Ekh ?

You are either very mistaken or blatantly telling a little white lie though, the only by election I recall them winning a ward off another party is the Mpumalanga one where they won an ANC ward, the double digits you speak of has never happened.

The PA has been trashing them ever since in the Western Cape and the ANC has been giving them a hiding in Northern Cape.

Of the top of your head since you follow by elections so much, besides the one I mentioned which other wards did they win and from who?

As you can see, Times live was expecting the DA to win.

What Times Live posted earlier, just in case they delete.

Looks like those are all the important questions Mchunu was looking for answers to.

This one is truly dom, He has already forgotten he was the Mayor for most of the 3 years.

no man, he was mayor for just 1.5 years. That is just 50%

Oh, okay, I guess he is allowed to absolve himself from the failures of the other DA mayor before him.

 

[TheChamp]

Besides his intentions, the very fact that he is so interested in other witnesses statements is already an indictment, I wonder what is he going to say in his own defence?

It does look like very productive acquisitions.

If only politics was as easy as buying out your competitors. If you can’t grow organically, you’re not attracting voters and will die eventually

That's true, there is no reason why a party can't do both, grow and acquire other parties, ActionSA has been doing just that, growing in by elections, winning wards while adding councillors by merging with other parties, looks like a winning formula to me.

Actually the one feature of ASA post 2024 is their complete avoidance of almost all by-elections. Remind me, when did they last compete in a Tshwane by-election?

Wrong, they abstain from by-elections. Instead they are trying to buy-elections
