Let’s not stretch the truth, or obfuscate. True I was the GPG ANC Premier. I left in 2008. My reasons are in a statement I released. This is not about the ANC. I didn’t endorse it. It’s about the DA and what must happen in Jozi now that she didn’t cross the line.

@AdHabb What must happen now that the Messiah (HZ) will not make it and Jesus doesn’t seem ready to return?

So is this going to suddenly change after the next glitch? Because the DA is not betting more seats. The ANC is still doing more than double the DA> 56 ANC vs 18 DA councils is a DA win?

Listen to them. Even before the IEC declares the outcome. They are already showing their true colours.
WATCH | DA’s Gauteng Federal chairperson Solly Msimanga supports the DA’s stance on informal settlement, stating that the ANC created an unrealistic expectation that everyone would get housing. Video: Koena Mashale.

It is getting close - looks like combined they are at roughly 48.5%.
As the vote counting goes into rural and township wards the cumulative votes for the ANC, EFF, MKP and SACP get closer to 50%. It will be interesting to hear analysts unpack/apportion the ANC's rapid decline: voter apathy, splits or competition from outside.

My people can be funny. Have no issue with people voting for MKP in KZN but cry tears for people voting ANC in LP and EC. Also if ANC voters stayed away or voted DA because ANC is in GNU with DA why is that not the case in LP or EC people voting DA for same reason?

Elections are actually the easy bit - forming and operating a functional coalition (often with fragile margins) in a municipality which has obligations far in excess of its tax base, is usually the real job.

Delusional for you to be bold and spread an AI generated misinformation. Then when someone is trying to point it out for you, wena you're being cocky.

Would the ANC have gained more votes if it didn’t include the DA in GNU? Wouldn’t the EFF and MKP cannibalise it? In GP, the ANC didn’t embrace the DA, so why would the children be angry?
