The DA is chuffed with itself. The party’s mayoral candidates for Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni are now officially in charge of these metros.
From the local government election results to the failure to hold on to Ekurhuleni, the ANC has been taught a fantastic lesson about the limits of being unresponsive to the needs of voters. You can fool even a lot of the voters a lot of the time, but you cannot fool enough voters all of the time to guarantee holding on to political power into perpetuity.
Mayors do not have the kind of executive powers, or magic wands, that can enable them to ignore those who helped them win mayoral races in the absence of a clear majority of votes from their own parties. It is, actually, unclear whether Phalatse should go to bed with a smile on her face or with trepidation about how things will go the morning after.
But now the DA will be relying on the EFF, and on ActionSA, at any rate. So the EFF has been super smart by effectively imposing itself on the DA while undermining the ANC. EFF politicians are not credited enough for their tactical instincts. The DA has ended up with an outcome it claimed it expressly wanted to avoid. It hasn’t. The Johannesburg mayoral victory is therefore both a blessing and a curse for the DA.

Probably the worst journalist ever.🤡
You are really scraping the barrel by publishing this wannebee's work. Surely you can get a proper journalist with a news worthy article somewhere
Who pays for you to write such banality, honestly? Despite your best efforts, you called this entire election wrong. And like a scorned child, you can't accept when things don't go your way. The arrogance and the swamp is in the mirror, Eusebius.
Drivel.
Not so sure the problem is political maturity, but more uselessness.. When did you became a person to comment on these things?

I crossed my X in a remote place EJM Mahlabe where even EIC Agents are beneficiaries of the local counsel and were hand picked and ANC won hands down in this Madibeng Ward 24'. We're told to keep our votes and they will keep their ANC. It seemed futile at the but I casted my X😉
Uselessbius is a racist naai
And who would know a swamp better than Youseebias himself…
Eusebius Put Some water in that half empty glass, mate. Firstly, democracy won. Transitions are taking place quite peacefully. Many Metros and municipalities have hosts of new leaders, elected by the people, who have a chance to make a difference. DA being one of them.
I think the winners are not the anc, arrogance eventually catches up with all. Voters can now look forward to a alternative
I think the ANC should support the DA every time there is a dispute in the council just to turn the tables around,
Yes, we know the narrative - if the ANC doesn't win, then there are no winners. Actually there are winners: the ordinary South Africans that the ANC abandoned in misery, without jobs and without hope. Finally they are winning against the ANC's apathy, corruption and incompetence.
