For a minute there I was wondering why people are being selective about the results they report on, because usually we have the full report on all by elections, but now I know.

Chill, Honourable Member.

ANC holds all seats in MAN. And they have MAN. Independents are the big winners.

EFF came close to upsetting ANC in one MAN ward.

GOOD got destroyed in these by-elections in George. DA are the big winners with good growth across the board and walks away with 2 wards, with PA also getting a ward and some growth. DA now has its own majority in George.

It's cold outside, I just wonder how cold it is in Mangaung, especially if you are a rogue councillor who thought you could align with the enemy against your own Liberation Movement.

Hope that DA speaker does the honourable thing and removes their filthy mouth away from the metros microphone.

When is the suffering going to start, before or after the President Moonshot inspiring speech at the Union Buildings next year?

Hoping the electorate get serious in 2024 and when it comes to the national and provincial picture, vote for an actual opposition party. Fortunately the DA has a ton more resources than the PA who will be stretched during a national campaign. At the moment, the PA can dedicate all their resources to a by election but that won't be the case in a national election where they have to travel the width and breadth of the country.

An actual opposition party, nice one.
Coming to resources, money can only push you up to some point, beyond that you are on your own.

As you can see for yourself the DA is either regressing or stagnating pretty much everywhere in the country except where it was already strong like WC and other minor strongholds like Pretoria. Where it was emerging the PA is taking everything, and not like the DA has the luxury to afford not growing out of its strongholds.

So as far as the Moonshot is concerned, IFP is doing very well, granted it's in one province but the DA does not seem to be pulling it's weight anywhere else in the country, if the ANC loses ground and the DA loses ground, things stay the same.

They really need to start accepting that maybe the PA really has them by the balls and it's time to come down from the high horse if their Moonshot is to succeed.
 
Another thing that I noticed the IFP is winning wards in better attended by elections, sometimes even more than the actual elections, that's a very sustainable wins to take towards the real elections, in other wards the turnout is poor which does not bode well for a party that thrives in poor attended elections, because I predict a very decent turnout in the national election.

Yawn, keeping the rotten PA dream alive as best you can.

Suddenly you believe that by-elections actually mean something? Convenient.
 
Apologies, probably the wrong place to be asking but does anyone have a link to photos of a recent delegation of comrades to China, something to do with policing I think. One of the imbeciles was particularly interesting - decked out in Versace ready-to-wear, clutching an LV purse. His coat was ochre leaning to orange.

DA is definitely pulling its weight. It only needs to perform strongly in WC, Gauteng and the NC and keep stable in others to make a valuable contribution to moonshot.
