ID Voters Not Happy

It seems that Patricia De Lille has made a bit of a blunder with her backing of the ANC mayoral candidate Nomainda Mefeketo. Party members in the ID are openly revolting . I think De Lille might have underestimated the fact that she is seen as an opposition to the ANC, not as opposition to the DA, although one reason ID supporters vote ID is out of frustration with the DA.

No doubt had the ANC won the mayoral election I’m sure Simon Grindrod would have been deputy mayor and perhaps the ID supporters might not have been so angry had they actually attained some power. But in this game of political poker the DA called the ID’s bluff, and all they had was a pair of 2’s.
