DA lost support in key townships, analysis shows

The 2016 election saw it governing the key metros of Tshwane, Johannesburg and, for a while, the Nelson Mandela Bay metro through coalitions with smaller opposition parties.

It only succeeded in retaining the Western Cape, albeit with a reduced majority. It also fell below the 2014 levels of support it received in Gauteng, and far below the support it received during the 2016 local government election. The ANC, in contrast, grew in Alexandra and Diepsloot from both 2014 and 2016 levels, while it also grew in Soweto to above the local government election levels.

Also. Dumelang!

That's what happens when Mayor Mashaba refuses to meet the community of Alexandra and blames others.....

But they will keep blaming white Afrikaners who took their vote to the VF+ 😉🤣🤡

Townships hold fate of Gauteng in their handsThe fate of Gauteng lies in the hands of the province’s biggest townships, with the likes of Soweto, Soshanguve and Tembisa likely to decide whether the ANC will enjoy an outright majority. Amazing how Karma Works ! I just hope the Political Leadership took care after the Townships! Because they will decide who will lead GAUTENG! The Wallet Of SA ! These are the people that need our democracy the most. They are the ones in darkness, without running water and sewerage. Just struggling to get their children a decent education. May their voices be heard and their choices better their lives
