Joburg ABC Mayor's have weired names hence they don't last that long, Geoff, Jolidee now Dada. The man is brave...

The ANC depends on how the EFF leader slept. At this rate in 2024 we going suffer under any coalition except the ANC-DA or ANC-EFF . Coalition of smaller parties like Cope, ATM, ACDP etc weren't bring stability. The only party that is loyal to coalition agreements is the IFP.
