Why don't you just change your handle to Mr DA?

It pains you to see the DA successfully holding wards and improving vote share, doesn't it?

Dunno.
But the IFP is making waves in KZN. I think it's going to be an epic battle between IFP and ANC in KZN in 2024.
Since it's clear IFP is making massive dents and winning wards off ANC and allies.

This guy didn't cry about that in Matzikama or other areas... DA participated in the ward, they got the most votes and improved vote share. Surely, they're allowed to celebrate.
But I see that'll be the new thing from other opp parties towards DA to discredit them, "DA ARROGANT".

Tide is definitely turning against the ANC and its allies.

But the IFP took the ward from AL Jama-ah, no? I think it's slightly disingenuous to say they took it from the ANC, despite whatever arrangement they might have with the other parties.
Also strong performance from the PA despite the notion that their voters were going to punish them for aligning with the ANC, unpredictable thing this politics of ours.

Probably teamed up with the ANC.

No, just that he is so passionate about the DA like an ultra die-hard fan of a football club, haha.
No problem with him btw, we have always engaged on a civil basis.

Maybe ActionSA has been going around spreading their negativity, I am also surprised because Freedom Front used to be very good boys who never complain, I this Baas Beaumont has something to do with this newly found cheek.

That's why I said ANC allies. And the IFP has been taking wards from ANC a lot recently?
Yeah, but not enough to win the ward either. ANC suffered the most really.

That's what I alluded to in the other post about the PA which has also teamed up with the ANC and was supposed to die like the national party, 24% growth in the Cederberg ward isn't exactly good signs of dying, is it?

A new tactic. Keep in mind we're in the run-up to the most important election since 1994.
Naturally, friends and enemies will be blikseming each other...
