Without EFF they don't have enough seats though. They need 51% to vote in a mayor.

Wait, they have enough seats to remove a mayor but not enough to vote a new one in?

If EFF abstains like before, they do have enough seats. 100 to 93 to be specific.

EFF should have abstained after the elections so that we didn't end up with a crippled UF. I guess that was their plan all along, create chaos. Would have had a hung council and re-elections.

Proof that those polls are useless, Mashaba and them were just going to find a way to do what they want anyway.

Mazzone trying to stay relevant but only proving why she had to be demoted to a position where she basically does nothing. It was more to keep her earning a fat paycheque hence she has time to continue bringing the DA into disrepute.

A bit low turnout, but ANC still gained 17% and UDM lost 15%. EFF was the big winner among the opposition.
Next week, the DA is on the defence in Durban and the ANC has to defend a ward in Alfred Duma (will we see them lose this ward too?).

"Supposed racist stance", yeah like calling for the death of a specific race in your country, is totally not racist...
I wonder if he'd feel the same about the AWB or that other Knoesen omie.

Yup. Just a smokescreen to look like they're listening to the people...
But then they get angry when the DA takes opinion polls seriously...

Nah, unfortunately the ANC gained 17 percent as the number is brackets is from the 2021 LGE.

ANALYSIS: A murky pond — SA’s coalition politics turns political minnows into big fish
It is becoming clear that the biggest beneficiaries of coalition politics are the smaller parties which end up having an outsized influence on who is in power.
