BY-ELECTION SHOCKER: FF+ makes loud statement in Stilfontein

The Freedom Front + shocked the Democratic Alliance in Stilfontein in the Matlosana municipality in North West on Wednesday night by comfortably taking a ward off them, in what was a safe DA ward in 2016. The African National Congress defended two wards in Mpumalanga on Wednesday night. The Economic Freedom Fighters gave the ANC a fright in one of the wards by making large inroads in the ward around Embalenhle, next to Secunda.

The DA beat the FF+ by over 1,000 votes here in 2016. What is important to note is that the FF+ finished well ahead of the ANC in 2016 to come second. The FF+ tends to do better when voters in a ward know that by voting for the FF+ instead of the DA, they will not hand the ward to the ANC. This was clear when the FF+ surged in two Mogale City by-elections in suburbs of Krugersdorp just before the national and provincial elections in May.

At the larger People’s Hall voting district, the DA beat the FF+ by over 750 votes in 2016; on the 2019 provincial ballot the FF+ just pipped the DA by 26 votes. On Wednesaday night that majority for the FF+ in the district grew to over 250 votes.Turnout was 34% Embalenhle is near the town of Secunda. It is in oil refinery and coal country. Govan Mbeki also encompasses Bethel, Evander, Charl Cilliers and Leandra.
