ActionSA, VF Plus, EFF, PA and MKP will hold immense leverage to decide whether the DA or ANC leads governing coalitions in Joburg, Tshwane, and Ekurhuleni. 🫤My biggest fear is getting a Mayor from PA now.
Numbers improved compared to the last local elections. Hopefully the weather didn't have too much of an effect on voters who were planning to hit the voting stations later on especially in GP.

Feel sorry for everyone who said they’d go vote later. Looks like this rain won’t be stopping anytime soon, and some of these voting stations don’t even have shaded areas.
