@DawieScholtz It all boils down to Mbalula’s ineptitude which, ironically, may be one of the best things to happen to South Africans. 😂🤣 Whoever thought buying that man the position was a good idea did the rest of us a massive favour. 😂🤣😂🤣 Sometimes political incompetence is a 542 views · 5 likes · 0 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

For the nerds. Here's the JHB math, simplistically. The ANC has 85/135 wards today. Let's say they get 80/135. 80/270 seats=29.6% They need to get 30% of the overall vote for a PR seat. They got 32% in JHB '24 and will certainly go down. I have them at 25-29%. I.e. no PR seats 37.3K views · 337 likes · 47 reposts · 30 replies Open on X →

A very important caveat: The ANC likely won't have PR councillors in JHB after the election - only ward councillors. So the mayoral candidate needs a ward. I.e. they need to retire a ward councillor & force a by-election. And we know how by-elections go in JHB for the ANC... 57.4K views · 160 likes · 45 reposts · 20 replies Open on X →

I've done some elections modelling on the metros. See my thoughts and expectations here: https://t.co/hBoPoX05lH Great chat - thanks for the opportunity @Jonathan_Moakes! Done 3 weeks ago and I promise without knowledge of recently-released polling (but very aligned). 28.1K views · 99 likes · 28 reposts · 14 replies Open on X →
