Had Ramaphosa dealt with the RET faction decisively when Zuma got the boot this would have been a nonstarter.

The question now is whether he has the support to ward off this RET faction looking toward the EFF and MK.

The ANC party lists would be very informative.

Incorrect. Foreign policy the DA would happily give up on during coalition negotiations (hardly anyone I know who votes DA mentions their mention foreign policy).

Ya all it involves is getting rid of Pandor's overt anti-West pro-Iran approach, and moving to a more silent neutral role in the background. Least of ANC's problems.
 
Fikile rejects parties who demand the removal of Ramaphosa.

"Ramaphosa is the president of the ANC. If you come to us with a demand that Ramaphosa must stand down as president, that is not going to happen," says Mbalula.

No political party will dictate terms like that to the ANC. "That is a no-go area," he says.

"We are leadership. Our leadership is tested. We don't run away."

At least a positive.
 
Mngeni came close. The MK did damage there. DA will struggle to hold in LGE. The difference was 8 votes. This is a new party and not the ANC so noone knows how the MK will do in an LGE. The may further eat into ANC votes there and take the municipality.

I think Pappas' popularity is being overstated.

It's up 7 percentage points from 2019, but yet down 7 from 2021. Locals tend to favour the DA particularly as there is much lower turnout.

I agree here with him actually. Not because I like Cyril. Because how dare another party dictate such terms to them. The DA are smart enough not to be asking for this.
