@S_Gwiliza I'm white and only have SA citizenship and because my forefathers have been here many generations I cannot get any alternative citizenship.

[steve van niekerk @NiekerkSteve]

Non stop obsessively racist and slanderous rhetoric against the DA.
Then still have the audacity to accuse the DA of having a bad posture against them.
Good heavens this party is so badly led it wants to make you cry.
If they had muture strong leadership they could have been the game changer to break the stronghold of the ANC on the levers of power in SA after these elections.
They could have gone down in history as being instrumental in placing SA on the road to prosperity.
But once again the future of the country will suffer yet another setback because of weak ,immature and ego driven leaders.

[Derek Wright @DerekWr37333118]

@Ndaba_2025 Ok. So there are 7% whites in SA and DA got over 24%. 17% of the on white electorate voted DA, Actually closer to 20% because whites also voted FF+, ActionSA, ACDP, Bosa

[Derek Wright @DerekWr37333118]

@KobeMalebo @Action4SA @MYANC @EFFSouthAfrica Tell us about a coalition partner EFF laying criminal charges against the mayor over Bronkhorstspruit. Nice partners to have

[Derek Wright @DerekWr37333118]

@AtholT Tell us how well you did in your province, EC and their metros

[Derek Wright @DerekWr37333118]

@ferialhaffajee He has continually for ages played the man and not the ball and insulted Helen and the DA with theDA and Helen not responding.The same for Beaumont and Trollip. Despicable ongoing behaviour from adults

[Derek Wright @DerekWr37333118]

@koko_matshela And Joburg willgo from terrible to a complete and utter disaster

[Derek Wright @DerekWr37333118]

@maryna_145 @HermanMashaba Yep, I went back to the DA . I couldn't do the childish behaviour of Mashaba, Beaumont and Trollip, as well asMashabas racism. They started attacking theDA befote the last rlecty. In contrast the DA campaign never attacked them

[Jordan Griffiths @JordiGriff]

Listening to Geordin Hill-Lewis on eNCA now.

He tells parties to rise above their egos and personalities. To put the people of South Africa first. First leader who has actually said this.

He anticipates an additional 200 DA councillors joining its ranks. The DA has received over 1 million votes from black South Africans. In Cape Town, Kouga and Umgeni the DA has secured solid majorities.

The DA will be the biggest party in at least 4 metros. Manguang still close.

He says that the party has already started the work to be the biggest party in 2029.

He says they will approach coalition negotiations with other parties with deep respect for their results and humility.

He appeals for parties to rise above politics and put residents first. Emphasizes the need foe humility.

Says that cities must have a period of long and sustained progress. He invites parties who want to put South Africa first to speak to the DA. The DA has already informally reached out to various parties.

Emphasizes that coalitions must fix broken municipalities. Create opportunities. Bring down poverty and inequality.

He is explicit. He will not conduct coalition discussions via the media. That is bad faith. But all agreements will be published publicly.

[Gareth van Onselen @GvanOnselen]

Think it hard to argue that, by some distance, the most composed, calm, coherent and rational leader on the ROC floor has been Hill-Lewis. Natural statesman. Most every other leader has the air of wild populism about them. Such a contrast.

[Derek Wright @DerekWr37333118]

@NWoodeSmith The hatred the 3 Stooges, Mashaba, Beaumont and Trollip have for Helen and the DA is pathological. The DA never attacked them. Can they be trusted to act like adults!

[Johannes @Johannes1970RSA]

@HermanMashaba Apart from spewing hatred towards @helenzille and the DA, what do you actually do or contribute to the building up of a non-racial South Africa?

[Kgosi 🇿🇦 @Kgosi187]

@HermanMashaba Honestly, we should do ANC + DA in both joburg and Tswane. You can go to hell

[The Great Sir 🇿🇦 @Mr_Sir_Black]

@HermanMashaba I just can't believe this man.

Somebody stop him please.

We stood under the heat to vote and he thinks this is about himself. Fuck him man!

[Derek Wright @DerekWr37333118]

@HermanMashaba Oh please keep quiet. The DA never mentioned you this campaign and yourhatred and obsession continues, You're like a child, When is your elective conference, orate the three Stooges scared of their own people
