Furthermore, two Democratic Alliance (DA) mayors, Bongani Baloyi, who is Midvaal Local Municipality’s mayor in the Sedibeng district, and city of Johannesburg mayor, Herman Mashaba, sparked controversy within the DA, following their birthday wishes to the EFF, which they sent on Twitter. EFF Sedibeng region chairperson, Isaac Thikhita, who was part of the thousands of supporters that gathered at KaNyamazane, told OFM News that he is optimistic that the EFF will grow strong, especially in the Vaal.
