The ANC-EFF will win because they have the PA's support again.
The coalition thing unfortunately shows up the DA. Why is it all the former coalition members are going together while the DA remain on their own?

DA doesn't want to work with PA, so they're just doing what ASA did in EKH.
Remain outside the coalition, but support them where they can. In a way, it's better, because if the ASA candidate somehow gets the votes from PA and EFF and is voted in, they could just sit and watch on the sidelines when either PA or EFF betray the other Moonshot okes once again... And this time the DA could just go "It ain't our fault. This is why we didn't want to work with PA/EFF /shrug". Taking away the option of the other okes to once again blame DA.

Oi! Leave me out of this...
They never lost the PAs support if you ask me... The PA just played them for more positions and such
As for the coalition, why go for a new candidate when you have one who has experience as being the mayor and was actually starting to achieve things?? Seems like coalition is being petty and trying to cockblock the DA for no other reason than 'DA being big brother'

Coalitions are rubbish. I have nfi why everyone thinks they're such a brilliant idea

Precisely.
When Mpho was mayor and especially in the run-up to Congress, the other okes (especially ASA) were full of praise for her, saying she should be DA leader, etc, etc. But now it seems that praise has dried up...
You'd think that they'd back her to be Mayor again? Nope.
The "DA big brother/arrogance" meme is getting boring now.
As coalitions are atm, there'll always be a "big brother" i.e. without them, there is no reasonable chance of a majority coalition... And these big brothers are mostly ANC or DA... (Excl. IFP in KZN since I'm talking on national scale). Until we have a situation were parties more or less have the same support levels, this will continue...

Lets have new elections so we can vote out IFP, FF+, ACDP and ASA.

The DA still don't have enough votes on their own.
Good luck achieving nothing if you aren't willing to work together.

Snot like they achieved anything working together either

Not when you have traitors like COPE and PA with you.

They'd all stab each other in the back in a heartbeat
Only MyBB'ers will be naïve enough to believe otherwise

I wish MyBB'ers were the only ones allowed to vote.

Well that's one way to ensure the place never succeeds

Should have kept Thapelo. At least he was fixing potholes and getting loans
