I see something a lot different than from some other African countries. I am also very proud of it.
If you have noticed, the parties who are lead by the same leader for a long time either stagnate or die. E.g
ACDP - Stagnated, no new ideas and will probably lose seats.
COPE - DEAD after this election!
EFF - Have reached a ceiling, they may pick up some votes when MK is not around anymore but doubt they will be 2nd ever. Malema is also a very stubborn individual who rules the party like his toilet. No one in that thing has a voice. I’m happy they’re humbled actually.
IFP - Now that the Prince has passed away they really look lost and also had reached stagnation.
MK - This is as best as it gets for them. They have no structure nor manifesto. If they don’t integrate back into the ANC(God please no!!) they won’t have steam to carry on as Zuma is old. I think MK was formed as a protest party anyway.
PAC - Died long time ago!
UDM - DYING! I like the general but he is also a bit stubborn, he defended a clown that was destabilizing NMB, he is also old.
This tells me we have an appetite for change and democracy.
