702, Sunday morning

Slow yesterday once all the metros, because those are generally the areas that come in last, because the metros are where there are the most people. That's when we'll get the result. But given what we have already, despite this official announcement by the IEC, there appears to be some conversations happening already. And the Sunday Times is saying that President Sero Ramaphosa and the top NC bras are mulling the idea of falling on their swords.

Piece reads that the ANC's devastating showing in Wednesday's local government elections has led to President Sir Ramaphosa and other senior leaders to discuss the possibility of falling on their swords and resigning from top party posts. Now, this is according to several ANC NECs, so that's the National Executive Committee members, that said the president raised the prospect of resigning as party leader after the ANC's poor election performance.
