BN Edge | What next for Joburg? Helen Zille weighs in after LGEs 2026

Well, one is led by Herman Mashaba, who told our conference in Biz News in March in Hermanus that Helen would never be mayor, not even in the next life. He reiterated that in our conversation this morning, saying that he and Helen Zille need to step away because of the toxicity in their relationship. The other party who could be a partner is the ANC, the party that she has spent nine months blaming for the city's collapse, justifiably, but still.
