2024 Elections | Elections results contested in Western Cape

Some political parties in the Western Cape have lodged an urgent court bid seeking extension of the period to dispute election results.

This comes after dissatisfaction with the results in some parts of the province.

Let's cross to SABC reporter Lulama Matya in Cape Town for an update on this matter.

Congratulations DA in the Western Cape 🎉🎉🎉👏👏 I know you won't disappoint the province.

[johannesopperman]

These smaller parties live in a dream world

[phutilanga]

WE THE PEOPLE have made our choice, they must deal with it

[HamzaArham-ce]

This is crazy why they don’t complain about the results in kzn the results in eastern cape . Western cape belongs to the DA period

[marcellevangreune]

Ek sal mos iemand bliksem as hulle so op my skree.

No police or security officials present?

Well.
You as a party will win in a landslide if you actually do your job and help people, and not steal money.

Contest all you like.
That's what it looks like when people WORK.

[kimschoeman]

Alan Winde is professional. How can these people chanting run the country. The whole world seeing this.

[TMJ]

How did this reporter get a job. Cadre deployment

[David-sykp]

If more people are voting for the DA, that means they proved themselves as a party in the province…

[rico]

If they feel there is evidence, then allow an investigation to take place, as per the contestation process. The DA can't be upset when they were the ones complaining that they were losing voters because of the IEC A DAY AGO.

[garethtaylor]

This is pathetic from public officials. DA has won, and I am glad. They keep the Western Cape running properly 🎉 with clean governance

[fionavanderhaer]

Sis, disgusting behavior from other party leaders. Follow the dispute process DECENTLY with the IEC.

[joannebedford]

Where is the security or the IEC staff not allowing this situation

[goflow]

Mayhem, typical behaviour for sore losers in SA. I almost expected one of those unruly chanters to pull out a knife and attack Winde much like taxi bosses torching buses because they 'steal' their routes, e-hailing drivers getting attacked for the same reason, truck drivers getting killed because someone else wants their job etc. etc... Why can't those SA citizens just accept losing gracefully and not immediately hatch a plan to assault the victor. Why this immediate negativity and hate. The DA doing well in the Western Cape, where it has governed for years and had similar election results in the past, why is this suspicious and must have been achieved just by vote rigging? And MK taking over the whole of KZN from the ANC as a new party with zero election history is perfectly understandable and acceptable? I don't get that logic. Even if some votes were 'fishy' it would make zero difference considering the margin and those red-clad EFF chanters and their +/- 5% would still not be 50%. If you feel aggrieved, go the proper channels and approach the IEC and don't behave like a moron in a pub brawl.

[TshegofatsoMotlhaoleng-ycpf]

Some people just don't want to accept the will of the political space has been changing for years now and it will continue to.

[oswaldbarnes]

Shameful and disgraceful behavior, so thankful they have been voted out!!

[morne]

where s the police to maintain order and safety?

[laurenruiz]

All those opposition parties should have joined the DA. The voters have spoken, I am one of them who was infuriated by these small parties who were taking swipes at the DA instead of joining them

[charlenebellairs]

The only province they couldn't loot,
And they are mad.
People of CT is NOT stupid.

[UrsulaHerandien]

Then it should be done nationally a recount and you will get to the same conclusion This cant go everybody's way

[RobertEarlMylroie]

Tell them, Mr Winde, you have done so well!!
