Political analyst Wayne Sussman says Cape Town bucked the national trend because voters here stuck with delivery over protest.
Speaking at the Cape Town Press Club, Sussman said that coalitions would be toughest in Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni where trust was low, while smaller towns could find stability.
He said the ANC clawed back some urban support, MK was now entrenched in KZN, but the EFF’s losses reflected low turnout, not a permanent shift.
Sussman said the DA goes into 2029 stronger after keeping Cape Town, while every party that fails in coalitions now should be worried about their future prospects.
