The councillors who would ultimately form MAP16 gave the ANC a fright in late August 2019 when they won 10 seats as independents in Maluti-a-Phofung. Today they complete what they set out to do 26 months ago. They have a mayor in Maluti-a-Phofung. A historic day in Phuthaditjhaba

In 2017, Senzo Mchunu went into the ANC Conference with support of 549 more branches than Ace Magashule. Not all is lost for those who did not win the majority support of the branches.

3 of the 9 by-elections taking place this week are because the elected representatives there were murdered. 2 were assassinated, while another was robbed. All 3 were shot with guns. There is a strong likelihood that those assassinated were killed by their own party colleagues.

Mpho Phalatse is a single mom of 3. Tania Campbell hails from Primrose & Eugene Johnson from the Northern Areas of NMB. These 3 women woke up today as mayors in Metros where their control is flimsy at best. Hard road ahead. I hope they relish in their momentous achievement today
