Yeah. A lot of people still do not understand and appreciate the power of their vote. If the ANC got punished properly for corruption and incompetence they'd have shaped up long ago.I think the largest portion of "lost votes" for the ANC was more to do with people just not voting at all.
If I compare 2 last local elections total number of votes in Emfuleni went from 195k down to 150k. ANC 108k to 60k ... DA 48k to 40k ...and EFF pretty stable at 24k to 23k.
FF+ were the only party to go up in anything approaching significant numbers at 4k to 10k.
