I don't see much to celebrate this election.
The ANC lost massively but it was also a failure for opposition parties . ANC at their weakest ever and the only guy who could take advantage is the guy responsible for state capture.

Who will lead once Zuma croaks? I think the MK's existence will be short lived.
 
The figures are not up to date (source is a report from a time when 40% seemed crazy, i.e. 16h ago ;D ), but I thought this graph really highlights something

If Jacob Zuma will become known for one thing only, the overarching theme, then it could very well be harm to the ANC.

I can actually imagine that if the country kept growing... If the average quality of life had kept increasing for the last 20 years... If our international standing kept rising... As it did, right up to the point Zuma rose to power...

I might very well have voted ANC on the 29th.

And this country might have had a GDP similar to the Netherlands or Saudi-Arabia. Not even joking - I believe our country's GDP is half of what it should be, but for Zuma's BS. One could always split it down the middle and say our GDP should be 50% more. That would still mean our GDP would have been equal to Sweden's.

ANC must forget about holding onto some sort of power in KZN, give it to MK and resign themselves to opposition and focus on building their party from scratch, it's clear that the support they thought they had all along was Zuma's support.

Start like they are a new party, renew their structures, audit their membership, fine tune the recruitment processes and build from there.

a hard lesson learnt.
time for introspection, a good clean up, renew, refocus.

Doomsday coalition was punished. DA supporters must remember this in 2026 where let's be honest, their laziness was what caused the DA's catastrophic drop to 35% in 2021.

i'm very curious to see the results of my ward.
the natives have been restless for quite some time, the aroma of discontent was a constant presence

With Helen and John at the helm doubt any of the poorer black communities will vote DA, they need a big shake up in leadership if they want to attack the black voters.

It's got nothing to do with Helen or John. The Black MCP parties did really poorly.

People should really stop it with this woke nonsense. It is retarded and have been proven wrong.
 
The growth of this MK party is not to my liking. It's exactly the same thugs and tender cadres from the ANC. And this growth is going to make them much more arrogant and stubborn than they were while ANC.

they have some good people, unfortunately complacency set in followed by ineptitude with a dash of arrogance.

decisional comments like "clever blacks" dont sit well with their supporters who have worked hard to attain a good education and careers.
