Like I said, we'll see if I'm just a hopeless idealist after the local elections. But I've a feeling a bloodbath is coming for them.
Unfortunately though the opposition party spent the last 4/5 years scorching their support base. They've only recently righted the ship, but a lot of damage has been done. So the opposition vote is split among many smaller parties.
Democratic Alliance. Previous leader was a black man who went full socialist and anc lite on policies when he got elected.
The new guy has been saying a lot of the right stuff, but many, like myself have been burned and don't trust easily. He's a libertarian.
There are about thirty smaller parties centered around a myriad of issues. What bothers me though is any party slightly right of centre is automatically labelled far right. Even ones that are very moderately conservative.
Btw the youtube link I sent you, the channel it belongs to, Morning Shot, is a very good channel to follow to stay updated on SA. He does 10 min videos every weekday where he runs through the most important stories of the day. I would say he is what Tim Pool wishes he was. I can recommend a few other channels, but this one is the easiest and simplest one to use to stay updated on.

Unfortunately the DA is guilty of this too. Like I said, very difficult for me to support them.
