A tribute to Julius Malema.

The days of a pale-skinned comeback, are well & truly over. EFF have done incredibly well & represent the face of the New South Africa. Wait until the next elections. Move over DA!

Unfortunately any votes that the EFF collected would have been at the expense of the DA, and numbers show it.
Another bad performing party, and almost not even showing a blip is AGANG. The Doc made a huge mistake, retracting her alignment with the DA. Had she continued, she would have been better off, and the DA would have collected many more votes, as it would have brought some more support to the DA.

What numbers show this?

Well had the EFF not been there, who would the electorate have voted for then?
AGANG, COPE or DA?
The DA was gaining some momentum with support in the Limpopo area before the EFF started, so my gut feel is that the DA lost some votes to EFF

A few thoughts on a highly significant election outcome.

Left...................Centre-Left......................Centre-Right
EFF........................ANC.................... .............DA

The ANC reached it peak in 2004, after which it has gone steadily downhill - losing votes to Left & Centre-Right. The 'Other' parties have been gobbled up. IFP is toast.

It looks like, when given a chance to vote for a party which could give them some hope, the electorate chose to begin migrating away from the ANC.

The next election will be very interesting, as the EFF gains off a populist mandate.

COPE's first election result, in 2009, was 7.42%. In 2014 they have won only 0.67%. Julius & co. have had a good start, but it's a bit early in the piece to say where things might go from here.

I'd imagine that COPE leaders pulled their 'faithful' with them, when they split off.

Time will tell on EFF. If they make good on their promises, then they may well grow in stature. If not - then anyone's guess, I suspect.

I watched Julius on eNca and he says the plan now (starting today Monday) is to promote the EFF in the rural areas for the next general election and to start now (Monday) to promote the EFF in the urban areas for the Municipal elections.

They are going to buy a truck with sound system for every province and it will be busy all the time, he intends employing promoters full time but they will only be paid if they preform by signing up new members and registering them for the next elections.

The business of politics.

He will have to buy a stake in KFC and get huge sponsorship from Coke. Oh yes, and a Chinese sponsor for t-shirts...
