Wayne Sussman: Gayton goes big in the Garden Route and Morero survives

The Patriotic Alliance (PA) has shown huge gains in by-elections at the expense of both the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA). In his latest interview with BizNews, elections analyst Wayne Sussman describes how the DA and the ANC are being affected by the PA’s performances “across the length and breadth” of the Western Cape. “And this is a huge marker on the road to 2026. And Gayton MacKenzie and the PA will be celebrating this victory today.” He was speaking after the PA’s shock win in Mossel Bay last night. Sussman also analyses the DA performance in Tshwane where it held a ward last night, as well as the ANC seeing “some recovery” in Mpumalanga. Sussman further dissects the latest dramatic developments in the City of Joburg where the ANC Mayor survived a Vote of Confidence, but the ActionSA Speaker was ousted.
