At least 17 new EFF members in National Assembly
The EFF is projected to win 10.7% of the national vote share, potentially increasing its seats in the National Assembly from 25 to 42. The article lists the EFF members who are expected to take up these seats, based on the party's list submitted to the IEC.
CSIR predicts DA decline in Cape Town metropolitan
The CSIR predicts a decline in support for the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the City of Cape Town metropolitan areas, with an expected drop from 66.6% in 2016 to 54% in the recent national elections. The ANC is anticipated to gain almost 5% in support, while the Good Party is expected to secure 2.5% of the vote. These predictions are based on the national vote count, with over 15% of the votes counted and returned from voting districts in Cape Town.
Results from first 17 voting districts show early support for ANC and main parties
Early results from the first 17 voting districts show the ANC leading with 49% of the votes, followed by the DA at 29%, and both the EFF and Freedom Front Plus at around 8%. These results, released by the Independent Electorate Commission, reflect less than 1% of the total vote count and are expected to change as more results come in from the Eastern Cape, Free State, and Northern Cape.
First round victory for South Africa's Lloyd Harris in French Open
Lloyd Harris of South Africa achieved a milestone by advancing past the first round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career, defeating Lucas Rosol of the Czech Republic in the French Open. Harris, the only singles player from South Africa in this year's tournament, made a remarkable comeback from two sets down to win the match at Roland Garros in Paris.
Business: The ANC election result sweet spot
Business Leadership South Africa urges President Ramaphosa to combat populism within the ANC to stabilize the country's credit rating and maintain the independence of the Reserve Bank. The Economist endorses Ramaphosa, suggesting that a poor ANC performance in the upcoming election could empower populists. Business interests are best served if the ANC secures between 54% and 57% of the vote, avoiding both disruption and the potential for constitutional changes with the EFF. Despite these projections, business sentiment remains cautious about the election outcome.
DA Holds Majority in Western Cape, Good Party Emerges as New Contender
The DA has retained majority control in the Western Cape provincial legislature with 55.45% of the votes. The ANC secured 28.6%, the EFF 4.04%, and the Good Party, led by former Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille, garnered 3.01%, making it the fourth largest party in its first election.
More evidence of pro-Gupta contract decisions against former Transnet CEO Molefe
Evidence of possible improper conduct against former Transnet CEO Brian Molefe was presented at the Inquiry into State Capture. Gerhard van der Westhuizen, a former Transnet employee, testified that Molefe bypassed procurement processes to award a master service contract to a company linked to Gupta-family associate Salim Issa, overturning a decision to award the contract to Neotel. Molefe previously served as Group CEO at Transnet and Eskom.
Blitzboks come up short against Australia in London Sevens
The South African Sevens rugby team, known as the Blitzboks, was eliminated from the London Sevens tournament after a 29-22 loss to Australia in the quarter-finals. Despite scoring two tries in the final minute, the Blitzboks could not overcome Australia's lead. This defeat also hampers their chances for automatic qualification for the Olympic Games, as only the top three teams in the competition qualify automatically for next year's Olympics in Japan.
Eight miners die in alleged illegal mining activity in Zimbabwe
Eight miners have died following an explosion at an abandoned mine in the Mazowe region, north of Harare, Zimbabwe. Illegal mining remains a significant issue in the country, with a similar incident in February resulting in over 20 deaths. The report includes coverage from Zimbabwean journalist Njabulo Ncube, who is also the National Coordinator of the Zimbabwe National Editors Forum.
DA projected to once again take the Western Cape
In 2014, the DA won the Western Cape outright with 59% of the vote. Current CSIR predictions, based on 39% of voting districts declared, project the DA to secure a majority again with 56% of the provincial ballot, eliminating the need for coalition partners. The DA has likely lost some ground to Patricia de Lille’s Good party, expected to gain 3% of the vote, while the ANC appears to have lost ground to the EFF.
