It's simple.
JHB (91 + 63) = 154 DA Executive
TSH (74 + 44) = 118 DA Executive
EKU (66 + 59) = 125 ANC Executive
@Our_DA, @helenzille and @geordinhl to take TSH + JHB in exchange for handing EKU over to the ANC.
Complete control for Executive mayor, all MCC's and ability to impliment governing programmes.
Section 55, Section 60, and Section 58. 🤝
The ANC votes for the DA's nominated executive mayors, then appoints its own mayoral committees with no requirement to allocate positions to ANC councilors. The ANC agrees to support specified budgets, confidence votes, etc and the DA controls the exec. administration, subject to council oversight.
Vice versa in EKU
Neither party would have to surrender its constitutional responsibilities and I don't believe anything prevents them from doing this as a package.
Conditions are simple:
1.) Single overarching political agreement.
2.) Exclusive executive leadership.
3.) Commitments on budgets and confidence votes.
4.) Independent council oversight.
5.) Some kind of formal dispute resolution mechanism if there's an issue in one municipality that it doesn't destabilize all three.
Opposition will use it against the DA, claiming they abandoned EKU, but I think South Africans are used to dealing with the ANC's incompetence and corruption. Dealing with @HermanMashaba impotence is new.

Jacintaists are historically disconnected, rejecting their shared Black African identity and mimicking American xenophobes like the FBAs. From “kwerekwere blood” rhetoric to identity politics, the parallels expose a profound lack of political education. 😞

Under the Earned Settlement model set out before Parliament today, the right to live in the UK permanently will no longer be granted automatically after five years.
Instead, it will be earned.
Under the reforms:
➡️The standard route to settlement will double from five to 10 years
➡️ People who enter illegally, including by small boat, face a wait of up to 30 years to settle
➡️ Care workers who meet the visa requirements will retain a five-year route
➡️ Higher earners on more than £50,000, skilled public service workers and refugees arriving on safe and legal routes will be able to settle in five years
➡️ Migrants who claim benefits face a 20-year wait for settlement
➡️ Migrants with a criminal record will be prevented from settling in the UK
➡️ Migrants will be required to meet A-level standard English to settle in the UK

Veteran broadcaster Ezra Tshisa Sibanda speaks to Martin Sibindi, a Kenyan of Zimbabwean descent, born and bred in Nairobi.
Sibindi, whose father migrated to Kenya as part of a 1960s religious pilgrimage that included Shonas and Ndebeles, has never been to Zimbabwe before, but has relatives.
He is a Kenyan of Zimbabwean origins.
Sibindi is a typical Zimbabwean Ndebele surname, historically of South African origins.
The surname Sibindi is deeply rooted in the history of South African Ndebele people of the Manala clan, descendants of King Musi, found in KwaMhlanga and other surrounding areas of the Pretoria/Mpumalanga region.
King Musi is the foundational ancestor of the South African Ndebeles and their last undivided leader.
Sibindi, a Nguni surname, shares common roots and origins with Ndebeles of the Manala, Mabhena, Sikhosana, Mthombeni, Kekana, Mhlanga and Nzuza clans, among others.
These clans were raided and assimilated into Zimbabwean founding Ndebele King Mzilikazi's migration party in the 1820s from present-day KwaZulu-Natal to Matabeleland.
Mzilikazi defeated and executed Chief Magodonga Mahlangu — a leader of local Ndebele/Nzunza groups in the Transvaal region.
A descendant of the Khumalo clan, Mzilikazi lived in Pretoria and surrounding areas, among other places in the Transvaal, for more than a decade during his historically famous breakaway and march from fierce Zulu King Shaka's rule to Zimbabwe; from 1822 arriving in 1840, at the height of Mfecane.
Kenya recently officially granted citizenship and national identity cards to about 1 650 to 1 700 members of the ethnic Shona and Ndebele communities, ending over five decades of statelessness.
The Shona and Ndebele families originally migrated to Kenya from Zimbabwe and some parts of Zambia in the late 1950s and 1960s as Christian missionaries.
There are Zimbabweans living in Zambia for decades.
When Kenya became independent in 1963, they missed a narrow registration window, and over the decades, they lost legal ties and documentation to their ancestral countries, leaving multiple generations stateless.
On December 12, 2020 during Kenya's Independence Day/Jamhuri Day celebrations, then-president Uhuru Kenyatta directed the recognition and registration of the Shona and Ndebele communities, alongside stateless persons of Rwandan descent.

I am deeply saddened by the collapse today of a multi-storey building under construction in Eastleigh, a busy commercial and residential area of Kenya's capital, Nairobi.
The building, believed to be about 18 storeys high, came down with many people feared trapped beneath the rubble. Nairobi police chief Issa Mohamud said more than 10 of its upper floors were still being built.
Rescue efforts were hampered when police fired tear gas to disperse crowds after looting broke out at the site, as officers worked to clear the area and give emergency teams access.
The surrounding high-rise buildings have made the work even harder.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja said the building had no occupation certificate, warning that this may have cost lives.
Building collapses are a recurring problem in Nairobi, and county officials have been accused of failing to inspect sites properly and make sure developers follow safety rules. An audit of nearly 15,000 buildings by the National Building Inspectorate found that 72.3 percent were unsafe and 4.8 percent were very dangerous.
My thoughts are with the families waiting for news of their loved ones, and with the rescue teams working through the rubble.
