Widespread voter despondency is causing overall turnout to plummet . Black parties are destroying themselves decampaigning each other. If turnout drops to 30%, traditional majority rule completely collapses.The Democratic Alliance then wins easily using its disciplined core base.They do not need new support when opponents choose to stay home.

@MRYOURPLUG @Markosonke1 if turnout is low because black people don’t vote but white people do.

@maluma_vbs @JordiGriff Yes, people might be desperate for change but a white led DA is a non starter in my opinion.

If these polls are genuinely just a “point in time” snapshot, then you’d expect much more consistency between pollsters. I’ve found Ipsos to be far more reliable. Personally, I don’t believe the DA can realistically poll at 40% at any point in Jhb. That would require a fundamental shift in voting behaviour among Black South Africans essentially believing that only a white led party can save the country.

@AndileMlondo No, what’s even more surprising is that the 40000 Eskom employees themselves aren’t putting any pressure or challenging this. They’ll only start crying once their own jobs are under threat.

@MbalulaFikile The ANC chose to pursue a governing arrangement with the DA. They are your partners now and there is a similarity between the ANC leadership under Cyril Ramaphosa and the DA on economic policy and role of the private sector.

@wiesiede Well, they will privatise sourcing, treatment and selling of water over time. The state will just own and maintain dams.

@ewnreporter I’d rather take my chances with an incompetent government than to vote for the DA.

@Newzroom405 Who exactly is private sector partners?

@Julius_S_Malema @54Battalion Listen to him because ke lekgowa?

@sfisoDlamini32 @Cairo_Mathebula It took a real level of competency to design South Africa's public smoking laws back then. Looking at the lack of laws across the rest of Africa today, I guess you agree she wasn't one of the most useless, especially since we all know what ‘the most useless’ actually looks like.

[manxa @manxa_iT]

@sfisoDlamini32 @Cairo_Mathebula South Africa was the first African country to set those laws. Even today, most countries in Africa still do not have these laws.

The word ‘remember’ is important. She wasn’t introducing a new allegatio. she was referring to something that had already been circulating in the public domain. She didn’t claim to have recorded or leaked the audio. she reminded people of an audio that was already widely being discussed. No case for defamation here.

@DoppelEmm @RonaldLamola @Absolute_Kganki @DlaminiZuma You sound like you’re still wet behind the ears. A little more research on the topic would go a long way before responding with such confidence.

@Duduzane__Zuma A capitalist through and through. We now have a Ramaphosa clone leading MK party.

@simplytee23 Electricity, Dstv, insurances, subscriptions, entertainment?

[manxa @manxa_iT]

@SAFirstMzansi @TimesLIVE You can try. Even if the get 30%, they will still lead because of failure of our opposition parties to unite.

@GaytonMcK It would be interesting to know who are the podcasters, journalists and celebrities that benefited from this.
