Ekurhuleni is a dead tie this morning.
Jongizizwe Dlabathi 23%
Xolani Khumalo 23%
Khumalo has been ActionSA's candidate for a year. Dlabathi is one of four
names the ANC still hasn't chosen between, 30 days out.
A confirmed campaign and an unmade decision, priced level.

The ANC hasn't picked its mayoral candidates yet. 42 names still on the
table, 31 days out.
The market has picked for them.
Buffalo City: Princess Faku 87%, Ncedo Kumbaca 8%, Simphiwe Dzengwa 4%.
All three are on the ANC's own shortlist. That's 99% of the market priced
on a decision the party hasn't taken.

Ipsos: MK on 55% in eThekwini. Enough to take Durban outright.
Our market: MK's candidate Mxolisi Phakathi at 12%.
Not a contradiction. A poll asks who you'll vote for. The market prices
who gets the mayoral chain β and the council picks the mayor, not voters.

On Thursday the ANC, DA, EFF, IFP and ActionSA tore into each other at the
Joburg leaders' debate.
The market's verdict: nothing changed.
Helen Zille was 68% before the debate. She's 68% today.
The only move was underneath β Frank Chikane drifting from 15% to 11%.

Durban has a new favourite.
IFP's Mkhuleko Hlengwa 34%
DA's Haniff Hoosen 29%
Three days ago it was 32-32. The DA named Hoosen a year ago; the IFP named
Hlengwa on 31 August and launched its manifesto on 20 September.
34 days out: https://t.co/IstgAbJQrN

News24's Battleground '26 asks: will Zille get over 50% in Joburg?
The market's answer this morning: 68%.
Frank Chikane is second at 15% β and there's now as much money sitting
behind his price as behind hers.

The CLARITY Act cloture vote just failed. No headline has run yet. The market already knows.

23 September. Eight days.
Market says 48% chance the SARB hikes.
If they do, prime goes 10.50% β 10.75%. About R170 a month more on a R1m bond.
July's vote was 4-2 to hold. One member needs to flip.

Dada Morero is the sitting mayor of Johannesburg.
The market gives him 8% of still being mayor after November.
Why so low? He isn't even the ANC's confirmed candidate β one of three nominees. Two hurdles, not one.
