"The results of these by-elections are a clear indication that the South African people reject the unholy alliance of the opposition parties who continue to gang-up against the movement of the people," ANC acting national spokesperson Dakota Legoete said via a statement.
Out of 13 by-elections, the governing party managed to retain several wards it held since the August 2016 local government elections, said the statement. " In the by-elections contested yesterday in the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape and Western Cape, the ANC retained seven seats. The ANC managed to perform in this way largely through the hard work of its volunteers to reduce the numbers of its opponents," Legoete said.
"In KwaZulu Natal, the ANC won for the first time in Ward 21 of Abaqulusi which was previously held by the opposition and retained Ward 4 in Bergville Municipality. These are early positive signs of what the people of South Africa are capable of doing at the forthcoming general elections.
Shows the ongoing unholy ignorance of their voters who choose poverty thinking over growth and prosperity - 🤢
How will those counting the votes know that it's on legitimate ballot papers?
I won't be surprised if these elections are rigged by the ANC & EFF. I've asked the IECSouthAfrica on numerous occasions how they planned to ensure that the elections won't be rigged, not a single response to date. Zero. Zilch. Nadda.
