Despite their efforts, the EFF failed to secure a single seat, while the African National Congress (ANC) took home 10 seats, the Democratic Alliance (DA) secured 1 seat, and the Labour Party of Joseph Mathunjwa also got 1 seat.
It’s worth noting that the EFF’s performance in Thabazimbi might not necessarily be a reflection of Julius Malema’s leadership or popularity, but rather a indication of the party’s strengths and weaknesses in specific regions. The ANC’s victory, on the other hand, might be seen as a testament to their enduring presence in the area.
The results also highlight the growing influence of smaller parties, such as the Labour Party, which managed to secure a seat. This could be an indication of a shift in voter preferences, with some voters opting for alternative parties that might better represent their interests.
