HELP![edit]
Hi, all @Conlinp, Greenman, and Discott: I please need ALL of your help to complete the article and update the provincial legislature articles. You can make a diagram of the seating composition here, and if you don't know where the colours are, they are here. Lefcentreright (talk) 16:18, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- Gauteng Legislature updated. May want to check. Conlinp (talk) 18:03, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Conlinp: Thank you. It looks great. I appreciate the help a lot. Lefcentreright (talk) 18:59, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- I am also going to ping @Htonl: to ask if he could create an election map or two like he has done on other election article pages(?).--Discott (talk) 19:03, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- I am currently recovering from the effort of fighting the election. :) But yes, I do plan to produce maps as I did for the previous ones. Unfortunately given my position I can't really help otherwise with the writing of the article. - htonl (talk) 19:30, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Lefcentreright: Can you check KwaZulu-Natal Legislature. Can't find my error, Election, table summary? Conlinp (talk) 19:57, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Conlinp: Fixed it! Lefcentreright (talk) 20:18, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks htonl, really appreciate that. It will add a great deal to the article.--Discott (talk) 20:37, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

- Hi, all @Conlinp, Greenman, and Discott:. Hope you are all doing well. I need your help with creating an "Aftermath" section on the 2019 South African general election article. The National Assembly and NCOP articles also need to be updated. I've covered (most of) the provincial legislatures and premiers. It would be nice if all of the premier articles could have an image. Only three have: Alan Winde, David Makhura and Sihle Zikalala. Hope you all can help. Have a lovely evening. Lefcentreright (talk) 16:40, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
Incidents[edit]
I have removed the Wellington queue incident as it was very quickly debunked by the IEC and recieved no sustained publicity. We need to cover the "real" issues better such as the ink controversy, theft of IEC tents, demonstrations preventing voting, etc. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:05, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- I am going to make an effort at these along with the allegation of Russian influence that I see a lot in the media these days.--Discott (talk) 11:36, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
Ward winner map[edit]
The ward winner map is now available - see right.
- Awesome, thanks htonl. I will replace the current map with this one.--Discott (talk) 11:41, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
I have added a VD winner map (although without the majority/plurality distinction) if it is preferred. See right. - htonl (talk) 06:22, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
