Emizameni yokuhlenga omasipala enkohlakalweni embi kakhulu, abavoti komasipala abangama-68 bayichithile i-ANC kanye neqembu eliphikisayo i-DA, behlisa ukulawula kwabo kwaba ngaphansi kwamaphesenti angama-50.
Kodwa ngemuva kwezingxoxo zesonto lonke phakathi kwamaqembu ezepolitiki, azikho izisombululo ezitholakele komasipala abamisiwe.

Thatha i-EFF njengesibonelo: iqembu lifuna ukunikwa indawo edolobheni lase-Tshwane ukuba ibuse iyodwa ukuze ibambisane ne-ANC eGoli, Ekurhuleni nakwezinye izindawo.
Kulowo masipala, i-EFF ithole amavoti ayi-10.69% kuphela, i-ANC yathola amavoti angama-34.63% kwathi i-DA yathola angama-32.03%.
Kodwa-ke ngenxa yokuphatha nokusebenzisana, i-EFF, engakaze iwine nelilodwa idolobha eNingizimu Afrika yonke, ifuna ukunikezwa izigidigidi ezi-43 zamarandi kumasipala.
Umholi weqembu uJulius Malema ubeseMtata e-Eastern Cape ngempelasonto lapho ebechaza khona ngezimfuno zabo mayelana nezikhundla zobumeya.
“Ilula lento; sinikeza uMashaba iGoli, i-EFF ithatha i-Tshwane, i-ANC ithatha i-Ekurhuleni. Asibusi ngokubambisana. Sonke sibusa sodwa. Asifuni ubambiswano. Sonke sibusa sodwa.”
EGoli, izingxoxo zamadlelandawonye zimisiwe ngenxa yesicelo somholi we-ActionSA uHerman Mashaba obeke umbandela wokweseka noma yisiphi isivumelwano somfelandawonye mayelana naye ophuma njengemeya yedolobha eGoli.
Lokhu kuvele kowesilisa othole amavoti ayi-16.05% eGoli.
Ubambiswano lwakhe olunamandla njengamanje yi-DA, i-FF+ kanye ne-ACDP. Kodwa kulo mfelandawonye, i-DA ifuna isikhundla sobumeya.
Umfelandawonye we-ANC ne-EFF ukuqinisekisile ukuthi uzimisele ukunika uMashaba amandla okuphatha eGoli.
Kodwa uMashaba uye okhethweni ethembisa ukulwa nenkohlakalo ehambisana ne-ANC.
