ANC's electoral slide hits hard

The local elections, held on 4 November 2026, painted a grim picture for the ANC in Gauteng, with Johannesburg appearing to shift decisively towards the DA. For many South Africans, the results were no surprise, but a long-overdue reckoning for a party that has governed the country since 1994.

Dhlomo's post hit a nerve, drawing thousands of responses from people who felt the results reflected years of broken promises, corruption, and economic mismanagement.

Peeps share their frustrations

The reactions beneath Dhlomo's post ranged from anger and heartbreak to cautious hope. Here is what some netizens had to say:

@liso4real said: "Bro, I hate the ANC for making us look ngathi we as black people cannot govern."

@nkabindenm weighed in: "ANC betrayed our loyalty to it. The ANC leaders are arrogant and continue to take care of their own girlfriends & boyfriends."
