APC and Makinde clash over alleged plan to sell Agodi fish farm

The APC chapter in Oyo State accused Governor Seyi Makinde of planning to sell the Agodi government fish farm to a private investor.

ANC admits disappointment after poor Cape Town election showing

Jerimia Thuynsma, the party’s proposed Cape Town mayoral candidate, said the ANC had expected to do better as provincial vote counting reached 80% around midday on Friday. He partly blamed the poor showing on low turnout among ANC supporters in the metro, describing their absence from polling stations as a vote of no confidence. The party plans to rebuild ties with communities and is considering monthly feedback meetings between ward councillors and residents.

DA draws coalition red line as Western Cape faces hung councils

The Democratic Alliance (DA) would rather sit in opposition than form a coalition with parties it believes have mismanaged municipalities.

The DA is leading in many districts counted so far, followed by the ANC and the Patriotic Alliance.
