1/ JOHANNESBURG demographic breakdown - Turnout Differential Majority Black VDs 45% (+8) Majority Coloured VDs 56% (+8) Majority White VDs 62% (+9) A +17 differential, similar to last time. One of the crucial questions for this election was whether it would grow - didn't

Now I see why he was offended by that girl interviewing him about cheating. Look at the material?
I love it when artists sound like real artists. I don’t know much about this boi but he sounds cool.

Dr. Nasiphi was not going to win outright in Tshwane. She's not a Mayor bc ASA won majority last LGE. If anything, you guys showed up for her. In 2021, I don't even think ASA had 10% in Tshwane.
We failed Dr. Nasiphi 💔😭

They barely ran a campaign. I can see why people theorise that they're purposely scaling down.
I might be wrong but the ANC ran a poor campaign.

They’re just in season 2. South Africa also needs to make its season 1 mistakes.
The concept of Texas being more progressive than the majority of South Africa

DA did not get much votes! They maintained their strongholds and their white votes remained unshaken against the 543 shaken black political parties who ensured votes are split amongst all of them. You guys really have potential because you are committed and passionate about building a South Africa that works for its people, but like I have said, it is misguided and misinformed! Losing the societal moral fibre, making insults amongst ourselves a normalcy, not reading and investing on our ideological resolve and appreciating that the beneficiaries of white privilege were never gonna go down without a fight! They have found a strategy, it is to disintegrate the black voice and power, divide them whilst their base remains unshaken. My organisation, is partly to blame because we made mistakes that we shouldn’t have. We have conceded to these shortcomings even in our manifesto and I have seen some of the renewal efforts by the ANC being implemented through the establishment of Madlanga commission by president Ramaphosa, through the recovery of close to 16billion by the SIU through interventions and guidance by the ANC president. This only meant that all of us as progressives needed to reflect on how we take our country forward and do right by the people. But ke….we soldier on!
We must not accept these election results without demanding transparency and accountability. DA cannot get this much support.

We respect and uphold our own laws and constitutional principles because without them, there would be no country to live in. We also appreciate the deeper message that South Africans communicate through the ballot and must draw lessons from them and work towards doing better. Most importantly we have got to allow the people to get a better appreciation of whether their stunts mean progress for for the country or the lack there of? Whether voting the ANC out automatically translates into strengthened, empowered, serviced communities or that , it simply means consolidated and solidified rule by the economic powerful elite of this country? And once, we are able to answer that question fellow patriots, we will truly advance the real struggle⚫️🟢🟡🇿🇦
I really appreciate the ANC’s respect for our democracy. Their numbers have been declining and they've accepted that South Africans are free to choose who they want to vote for. No tantrums or conspiracy theories.

Ndlozi saying that he didn’t vote because the black vote is divided is interesting because he didn’t seem to think that when he dawned the red uniform.

Los Angeles, I am deeply honored to be your next mayor. I just spoke with Mayor Bass and expressed my deepest gratitude for her leadership and decades of service. Los Angeles would not be the city it is today without her. I love this city. I believe in its people. The work ahead will be hard, and change will take time. And together, we are going to build a future as extraordinary as the city we call home. Thank you, LA. Let’s get to work.

I keep saying it but Mayor Mamdani is going to fix the deficit with merch lol
Also, there’s currently the most insane line I’ve ever seen at Court Sq — upwards of 200 people waiting to get a Halloween-themed subway map from the MTA.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
در سال ۲۰۰۲، یکی از شرکت‌کنندگان در مسابقه برادر بزرگ برزیل، هنگام آفتاب گرفتن در باغ، ناگهان صدای آشنایی شنید که نامش را صدا می‌زد. او فکر کرد صدای خواهرش است. سیدا نمی‌دانست که خواهرش ۴۵ دقیقه قبل فوت کرده. زیرا بخاطر برنامه در قرنطینه بود.

ANC can turn the tide in the next general elections because people still have a sense of indebtedness towards them . All they need is to throw in Sputla or someone equally credible then people will go back home . Problem kore their internal politics might not let them do this
The ANC needs a fresh restart. They need party members that actually care for the people. They need people who want change. They need to get rid of Mbalula ASAP!

A quick reminder before we declare anyone the winner of Johannesburg: Leading the vote count is NOT the same as winning the council. Joburg has 270 council seats. A party needs 136 to secure an outright majority. Ward results and PR votes both feed into the final seat allocation. Until the votes are counted and seats allocated, it’s too early to call it. Let’s not confuse a lead with a win. 🗳️
