The website is slightly chaotic, but people will moan if Panyaza attempts to fix it so maybe it's fine like that, to confuse the enemy.

Useless endeavour. The WC was the first province to rid itself from the ANC and the ANC is even more useless in opposition than it is in government. The ANC will probably go under 25% in the provincial ballot in the WC in 2019.

But it's not really that bad considering that the main opposition is a 20% party nationally.Useless endeavour.

Maybe 20% is a sweet spot in general for opposition parties.

He claims Hersov tried to give him money and wanted him to not contest WC. Hersov does as many of us warned before his fight with the DA to be a bit dodgy so can't put it past him.

Hopefully they elect the best people for the job. There is always a need for strong and robust opposition.

Gayton touched on the same thing in one of his latest rants. He called out the hypocrisy of people having a problem with him working with the ANC but the same people don't have a problem with the DA working with the ANC.

Yip, DA happily sleeping with IFP that is largely corrupt. Only reason IFP is not corrupt as ANC is that they don't get much chance.

Yeah, people also forget that IFP did rule KZN before, they won it in 94. Actually, there was some controversy over the result but Mandela conceded defeat in KZN and Western Cape. He did not want the process to carry on so just let it go.

The DA are happy to ignore the corruption of one of their most trusted Moonshot partner and the IFP reciprocates by doing the same thing, you scratch my back I scratch yours.

If they go into Government in KZN, fighting may start when it comes to dishing out positions. DA guys are after all also after jobs. Will be interesting to see how that goes.

As I said before I don't think the DA wants anything to do with KZN for now, they will want to leverage whatever they have there to get the IFP support in Gauteng.
It's clear by now that their superior governance struggles when it comes to governing poor areas, after their recent performance in Tshwane they will want to stay away from any areas that are not easy to govern.
The only problem is that I don't think the IFP’s share of Gauteng is going to help the DA much in Gauteng, they have like 1% or so, the DA needs a 10% party to make a difference.

If the IFP have that little support then by your own admission that can't be the reason they support them.
So, looking at the 2019 vote, the ANC and DA both lost about 3%. Biggest gains were made by the EFF and FF+. The IFP have a single seat in the legislature. The ANC and EFF will comfortably rule in 2024 even when the ANC drop below 50%. They'll need to lose more than a combined 12 seats before they need other parties.
