The DA took 43% of the vote compared with the ANC’s 41% in Tshwane, the municipality that includes Pretoria. The DA will need to form a coalition in order to secure control there. The two major parties are also locked in a tight race to control the country’s largest city, Johannesburg. The ANC has also lost Nelson Mandela Bay metropolitan area in the Eastern Cape, which includes Port Elizabeth, to the DA. End of racial politics?
It is the ANC’s worst electoral performance since it was elected to power at the end of apartheid and the replacement of white minority rule by democracy in 1994, and the first time since then that it has lost control of the capital. The DA has won 93 seats in Tshwane while the ANC is second with 89 seats in the 214-seat municipal council.

Racism has been rife even before white people arrived. Racist politics will always be present because the worst racists are in utter denial. Whites are easy, convenient scapegoats. Find perspective here http://wp.me/p7D18q-L1
