Johannesburg - Despite all the grandiose plans Black First Land First leader Andile Mngxitama and African Content Movement leader Hlaudi Motsoeneng had, their dismal performance so far in the 2019 general elections paints a different picture.
While campaigning for the elections Mngxitama had vowed to shake things up in the National Assembly should BLF make it to Parliament. A confident Mngxitama vowed the BLF would take up the struggle for land, adding that the party was carrying the "hopes and aspirations" of many people on its shoulders.
Despite the bold declarations and plans, both parties by Thursday evening had a dismal showing on the national results screen, with just over 64% of the counting completed. Mngxitama's party had garnered a measly 8 847 votes while Motsoeneng's party stood at a paltry 2 332 votes. The African Transformation Movement , a party associated with former media owner Mzwanele Manyi, meanwhile had a modest showing on the results board, overtaking the Congress of the People and Agang SA with 49 207 votes. The ANC still leads the pack, having 5 824 979 votes while the DA came in a distant second with 2 320 446 and the EFF in third with 1 009 870.
