The arrogance is staggering. Adam Habib, Ivor Blumenthal and Gareth van Onselen seem convinced they know what’s best for Black people better than Black people themselves.
Black voters have agency, opinions and the right to choose their own political alliances.
All the people who attacked & couldn't wait for ActionSA to lose suburban votes are now losing their minds after the DA didn't get outright majority.
It was a choice to give 35% to a party that bullies smaller parties in a coalition and voters were warned it was a wasted vote.

Your point is? Please keep giving us your projections of the DA like you did before elections. They were really entertaining, and we can do with some of that now
Shut up.
Focus on the party you voted for! DA supporters are insufferable.
A DA lackey offering unsolicited advice on how ActionSA should conduct itself.
Furthermore,ActionSA grew you aboslute weapon.
Thank you for giving it your best despite having to deal with a nasty bunch of people.
I was the Councillor candidate for ActionSA in Tshwane Ward 46. I put up a good fight, got called names, called a sell out. My posters were being ripped off, and homeless people admitted to being paid to rip my posters, and VF+ posters, off. This was only the beginning.
The DA councillor candidate then parked her branded car inside the VD where the queue was passing. I addressed it and she got angry.
Whats worse is, I then caught her talking to voters in the queue. She even followed some to the ballot boxes. The IEC said they saw nothing.
After addressing these matters, I had people screaming at me and threatening me, telling me to watch my back, in the streets.
When counting started, there was a man called Jordan who was running the whole thing. Pretty much telling the IEC how to do their job as he is 'experienced.'
Now I saw that his profile Pic is with the IEC PO who was running the voting station where we were counting.
Found out after that he works for Sarupen and his sole job, almost for the last 2 years, was to badmouth ActionSA. Constant smear campaigns.
Why do they always get away with everything? They are corrupt, and think the law doesn't apply to them. Even the IEC is in on it. People are voting for them. What's worse is, black middle class is voting for them. How? Disgusting.

Mxm.
You are about see a lot of these comments of how "ActionSA voters are unhappy" "ActionSA betrayed its voters".
All because they want parties to roll the red carpet for the DA.

How about this 🤔
Border control and immigration policy are National Government responsibilities.
A municipality and/or Ward Councillor does not have any power to control our borders nor order deportations.
The people of South Africa will soon discover that political parties which campaigned on those promises in the Local Government Elections promised powers that municipalities do not possess.
All these dishonest parties simply played with the emotions and vulnerabilities of our people.
Voting is done now. The question you must ask the party you voted for is; will they close the border? The answer is NO!
ActionSA might play a blinder here...how desperate are the ANC for another opportunity in Joburg? Granted there isn't another Dada Morero or a cadre that has a history of corruption.
Desperate enough to hand Tshwane & Ekuhurleni to ActionSA?

ActionSA has concluded a productive and mutually respectful first engagement with the ANC in which we discussed principles around how stable and effective coalition governments could be formed.
We remain committed to engaging all parties in such a manner.

ANC boss reemerges as party scrambles to woo ActionSA in Johannesburg. ebx.sh/I9HcqQ
I certainly hope ActionSA can play the long & patient game.
We have learned the first coalition arrangement post election is not always the one that finishes its term.

Let me be clear, ActionSA's choices in coalitions:
✅️ Will be based on the best interests of residents of municipalities and the wishes of our constituents.
❌️ Won't be based on the patronising and arrogant insults of people and organisations that hate ActionSA.
News24 says its reliably informed ActionSA is offering two metros to keep Moya in Tshwane.
Eish...ANC needs to get its act together and start dealing...in Ekuhurleni they can form a coalition without the DA. The DA getting to Joburg metros is a bad idea.

What is happening in that ward. Initially it was given to ANC and then yesterday we heard a recount was done and then it was given to ActionSA. Then now are you saying another recount was done and then now given back to ANC? Wow.

Dear @HermanMashaba and @Action4SA , investing in patriotic and dedicated party agents is of paramount importance in elections, the @IECSouthAfrica voting system has many loop loopholes, in 2021 my younger brother was a party agent for ActionSA, their voting station was a School, and the IEC used 3 classrooms for voting, ActionSA had 3 party agents, the 2 left by 6PM , and could not wait for counting which normally happens very late into early mornings, this meant he could only be available for counting at the voting classroom he was a party agent at, when counting was done on all the 3 classrooms in that voting station, it was time to capture the final vote of that voting station, only for him to find out that ActionSA had 0-zero votes on the other classrooms which ActionSA had no party agents, he disputed this and call for a recount, the DA,EFF,IFP and ANC party agents said it was late, and yes the all counted and ActionSA had no votes in the other classrooms, he had to convince the IEC lady who was incharge of the voting station, and she agreed for a recount as per IEC regulations, only to find out that ActionSA did secure votes in the classrooms where the ActionSA party agents left before counting and was the 3rd biggest party in that voting station after the ANC and EFF, so yes political parties can agree to deprive another party of its votes and sign off the slips for a final capturing by the IEC official, these are some of the loopholes with this voting system!
If this is true,as your credibility & the DA's is non-existent at this point,good for ActionSA.
Also,if the DA considers replacing Helen Zille a red line when they'd still hold the mayoral chain--take your 35% to the opp bench like you did in 2021.
