The municipal elections is not the goal, 2029 is the goal. The evidence I would watch over the next 12–18 months is not merely ANC vote share. Watch who is blamed for November, which provincial structures line up behind whom, whether attacks on Mbalula become coordinated across otherwise unrelated ANC networks, how Mashatile/Lesufi-aligned structures treat MK and EFF locally, and whether ANC rhetoric gradually shifts from defending the GNU to emphasising its temporary/tactical character.

@JacoKleynhans If the plan calls for removing the white minority from the equation and aligning with anti US powers,then there is zero incentive for the SA government to change course in race laws. Expect nothing to change except increased emigration and refugee applications.
