    Default South African Elections comming to a head, Political Rallies end.

    I can only hope the DA will win despite all evidence they probably won't. Looks like its five more years of ANC. Either the ANC needs to reform and remove corruption or it will slowly decay and become the very thing this country fought so hard to rid itself of.

    The DA might win the western Cape. Anyway, if the ANC manages to drop down to below a two thirds majority, well that's a start. I plan to vote for either the DA or COPE on Wednesday. I haven't made my mind up yet.

    i think there would be nothing better for south africa than for the anc to be checked by dropping below the 2/3...

    Honestly, I can't imagine the ANC losing 1/3 of the vote. They are too ingrained within SA politics. There would have to be a scandal that would shadow the legacy of Mandela. Good luck with that. South Africa is stuck with ANC like Mexico was stuck with PRI.
