Doubt this will get 5000 signatures but they can try shame. These petitions serve absolutely no purpose.

Well, Modimolle and Mogale have lasted pretty long? They've been going since the end of LGE 2021... Even longer than the IFP KZN coalitions lasted.

In those cases, it seems to be more of a working relationship/cooperation than a coalition anyway...

Agree, instead they should add their efforts and join DA marches and march to NERSA and demand they let other power companies generate power and sell to the public.

Whatever they do just never join the DA march to Luthuli House, as they say in that country's language, ukubona kanye, ukubona kabili.

Nah, I get what you're saying m8. Just saying that those other areas have lasted pretty long from being EFF-flopped.

No, it's fine, they can go wherever they want, safety in numbers.

I guess there's a first time for everything.

The previous coalitions lasted longer, 2016 to 2019 I think for Joburg and 2016 to 2020 for Tshwane. This time things fell apart fast fast, that's why it look like the others are lasting.

So none lasted the whole term.

The ANC led one lasted the whole term in Ekurhuleni and even got a clean audit just for good measure.

Did they last the whole term?

as thick as thieves. Who were the other criminals?

That party from Matatiele, some ratepayers association, Patriotic Alliance and the PAC

Makes sense.

 

[TheChamp]

Makes sense.

It does, because if it wasn't for it the Liberation Movement woukd have won Ekurhuleni outright, but ANC voters ended up unwittingly voting for a party from Matatiele while they were in Ekurhuleni.

Matatiele, that's in the EC right? I think I drove through there dodging potholes on my way to Queenstown a few years ago.
