Helen Zille is not being blocked from becoming the mayor of Johannesburg because she is “white” and “a racist”.
That’s just the ruse.
The political play.
She is being blocked because she will uncover all the corruption and that will mean prison for some folks.
They will fight tooth and nail to keep her away from the books.

When the DA won Cape Town in 2006, it did so with a majority of just three seats, with the support of other parties. From there, it steadily grew its support until it became the majority government.
And that is precisely what other parties fear. Once the DA gets the opportunity to govern, it builds on that opportunity through service delivery, sound administration and getting things done. The result? It keeps winning because it keeps delivering.
That’s the DA difference.

The ANC is stuck between a rock & hard place.
🔵 Forced to consider a confidence & supply agreement with the DA, giving Zille 3 gauteng metros to reduce influence of kingmakers.
🟢Sees ActionSA as threat in 2029 after losing wards.
Again,it is my hope @HermanMashaba doesn't get desperate,and let's them get into a GNU-style arrangement. Let it crash & burn after local structures get fed up with DA.They will come back running.
But neither should be confused with a formally negotiated party position.
The real question: Who is negotiating for Johannesburg's future, and who is negotiating to settle political scores?

It seems like no one else in ActionSA have say. Only your grudge with Zille matters.

BREAKING NEWS: Chery SA has notified the NCC of the recall of more than 23 000 vehicles, most of them - 17 508 - Chery Tiggo 4s, relating to a possible rear suspension collapse.
Also being recalled are thousands of Tiggo 8 Pro Max vehicles and Omoda C5s.
Full details below.
PRODUCT SAFETY RECALLS: 23 667 CHERY TIGGO 4, OMODA C5 AND CHERY TIGGO 8 PRO MAX 2.0 VEHICLES
The National Consumer Commission (NCC) notifies consumers of a recall affecting a total of 23 667 vehicles as notified by Chery International (Pty) Ltd trading as Chery South Africa (Chery). The recall affects Chery Tiggo 4, Omoda C5 and Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2.0 vehicles.
CHERY TIGGO 4 - 17 508 VEHICLES
Chery informed the NCC that this recall affects 17 508 vehicles made available for sale between 17 October 2023 and 27 March 2024. These vehicles were sold nationally. According to the supplier, the affected vehicles may have welding irregularities at the rear axle sleeve. This could cause the rear axle to dislodge, resulting in rear suspension collapse.
CHERY TIGGO 8 PRO MAX 2.0 - 3 474 VEHICLES
Chery is recalling certain Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2.0 vehicles manufactured from 20 May 2026 onwards, affecting 3 474 vehicles. According to the supplier, the front brake-pipe may contact the turbocharger assembly, causing wear and potential brake-fluid leakage. This could reduce braking performance and increase stopping distances, potentially resulting in a collision, serious injury or death.
OMODA C5 - 2 685 VEHICLES
Chery is also recalling 2 685 Omoda C5 vehicles. These vehicles were made available for sale between February 2023 and July 2026, nationally. According to the supplier, the rear axle sleeve may have welding defects. This could cause the rear axle to dislodge, resulting in rear suspension collapse.
Consumers are urged to visit their authorised dealerships for an inspection and possible repairs, visit Chery’s website to verify if the VIN member is affected or if it is unsafe to drive the affected motor vehicle contact Chery’s authorised dealerships or their contact centre to arrange towing. Any remedial work will be carried out at no cost to the consumer.
NCC Acting Commissioner, Mr. Hardin Ratshisusu said: “Whilst we urge consumers to heed the call and respond to this recall, we also remind suppliers of their obligation to notify any product recall promptly. To this end, the NCC initiated a separate investigation against Chery in October 2026 over allegations that certain vehicles were recalled without informing the NCC, which investigation is ongoing.”

Choosing a mayor outside of the top three parties would be revisiting the tail wagging the dog situation with the Al Jamah mayor, and again not a reflection of the voters will.
People are making this about their personal issues with the DA or Action SA or the personalities involved. I'm not offering a judgement on Zille or Mashaba as mayors. I'm simply saying IF the coalition negotiations result in a DA or Action SA mayor, that person must be the one party voters had in mind when they cast their ballot.
Mashaba suggesting another DA/Action SA mayor in place of him / Zille is not defensible.

While Joburgers didn't directly elect mayors, they did make their choice based on mayoral candidates punted by the parties. For Action SA to now propose those candidates step aside isn't in keeping with the spirit of respecting the will of the people.
34.79% of voting Joburgers chose DA with Helen Zille as their mayor. 16.27% chose Action SA and Herman Mashaba.
Putting forwards someone else entirely from either of those parties is disingenuous.
