We might see ANC below 45% at a national level.

Now that would be cool.

It's pretty much a given now that ANC will fail, for the first time in our new democracy, reach a majority. That's a huge shift if our politics.

Definitely. Our politics are renewing (not ANC "renew", anyway).

GP and KZN seem poised to also be removed from ANC hands.

Question now is, just how far will they fall?

Good question. I doubt ANC will get higher than 40% in GP. Most likely 32 - 38%.

By how, the IFP is blikseming the ANC in KZN, I wouldn't be surprised if ANC KZN falls below 40% as well...

GP below 40% leaves it wide open for a DA-led coalition in the province.

Definitely, a UF coalition, my leader.

But it is also possible that ANC GP might co-opt EFF GP...

If this happens, can I come live with you?

Then we need ANC at 35% to avoid that. I also don’t see the two going into coalition either way.

Wouldn't be impossible. They got 36% last year...

And we saw in GP by-elections that they were dropping even further, like in Soweto (a well-known stronghold, or former more like) where they got hammered...

I also don’t see the two going into coalition either way.

Maybe.

What a ****ing promise, ey?

I also like that it mentions ****ing renewal...

"Renewing since 2009" - ANC probably
