African nationalism & Social democracy at the same time? Thats bullshit! Like a flying Pig not possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:E6:FF2F:F593:4925:DA3C:4365:86C5 (talk) 16:31, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Official ANC website domain changed

Please note that the official website domain of www.anc.org.za is no longer operation due to a dispute with the hosting provider. It appears that the new address for the official site will be www.anc1912.org.za unless the domain dispute is settled amicably.

Coloureds

Sangdeboeuf, can you please explain why you removed the link to Coloureds in your last change? I don't understand how it fits into the MOS:NOPIPE rule indicated in your edit summary. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 04:15, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mixed-race South Africans redirects to Coloureds, so there's no need for a piped link. Linking to the redirect is preferred as long as it fits logically into the text. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 04:23, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. I think it looks a little odd here because of the second adjective to South Africans ("black") - but not serious. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:41, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point; I've added a link to Black South Africans to clear up any ambiguity; feel free to adjust the wording if this is too repetitive. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 01:00, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2016 Municipal Result Differs from Other Pages

The IEC and every article you read says that the ANC got 53.91% of the vote in the 2016 Municipal Elections. And yet this page claims the ANC got 55.7%. Why is there a discrepancy in these two numbers? This page does not match the 2021 Municipal Election page, which says that the previous result of the ANC was 53.91%. The IEC website says so: https://results.elections.org.za/dashboards/lge/ But I'm not going to edit it, because I already edited it once and someone changed it. Someone needs to rectify this. This page differs in the 2016 result from other Wikipedia pages on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:547:A00:2F0:D8CC:540E:5C82:1EB6 (talk) 21:33, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
