Along the coast DA and IFP are the big winners, Up north (LM, MP and NW), the EFF is winning the most, in GP there isn't a clear winner, since it seems everyone is winning a bit from ANC there. We don't know what the pattern in FS is, since there hasn't been any.

So we need to kick LM, MP, and NW out of South Africa.

Like @ToxicBunny said, the way things are spiralling out of control electorally for ANC (i.e. by the amounts of support they're losing, hell they're polling themselves at 48% max), it's not too impossible anymore.

The way I see it, they'll be in the executive, but I guess the order is what will differ. Either JS Pres/Mashaba Deputy or the other way around.

This is true; I wonder just how much damage they'll do to themselves this year?

Below 45% would be great. But I'd fear an EFF/ANC coalition - as unlikely that is.

It's auto-damage tbh. We don't know at what rate tho.

We're on Stage 6 load-shedding, CEOs and Chancellors are being attacked and almost killed, service delivery is pretty much gone in many places, SOEs are screwed, police is nowhere, things are falling apart.

People are starting to see through ANC and their ****.

Yup. 40% would be astounding.

It's a risk in GP. But I doubt it'll happen on a national scale.

That coalition won't last. The EFF being a 10% party will want the big positions. They don't quite understand that there's limits to being kingmaker...

KZN Cogta MEC wants answers over inaction against 'racist' DA councillor

A KwaZulu-Natal DA councillor is in hot water after she circulated a voice note in which she said she was disappointed an Indian-dominated community elected a black woman to the ward committee.

DA provincial spokesperson Sthe Ngema said the party had taken action on the matter. He said when the allegations surfaced, an investigation was launched and concluded before the end of 2022.

“The councillor in question has admitted guilt and expressed remorse. The DA will now consider the investigation outcomes, along with admissions made by the councillor,” said Ngema.

It would be better for everyone if they just threw her out.

Yup.

Just like what happened in EKH, EFF demanded the mayoralty and majority of MMCs. They'll pull the same **** with other cockamamy demands, like removing the Afrikaans section of the national anthem, etc on national and provincial scale.

ANC already rejected them in 2021 when EFF approached them for a nationwide coalition.

And I doubt Rama would want to work with Malema...

They're still in power though, and the minute they find themselves without a majority nd needing to make up the numbers they'll go straight to the EFF.

I also doubt Rama would want to work with Malema, but the goal would be to keep the ANC in power.
