Laingsburg could give an indication of where Cope’s sentiments lie. Results from yesterday’s local government elections have been declared in the Karoo town, with the ANC and the DA being allocated three seats each.

Cope is the king-maker, having won one seat. No-one is prepared to say at this stage how the coalition will pan out.

In the Northern Cape, the ANC has snatched the ward of Thembelihle from the DA.

In the Southern Cape, the DA won an outright majority in Knysna in the Eden district.

The DA has also taken an early lead in the highly-contested Midvaal municipality.

Midvaal is the only municipality in Gauteng run by the DA.

The ANC had a significant lead in the Nelson Mandela Bay municipality in the Eastern Cape a while ago.
