Code4SA has published a detailed blog that looks at PR and ward lists across parties and the wards won by women across the country.
In the 8 metros, results show the following interesting items:
-
All 252 women that won wards in the 8 metros represent either the ANC (61%) or the DA (39%)
-
Women won 48% of total wards in Buffalo City - highest female representation in any metro
-
In Nelson Mandela Bay, women won 27% of wards with 75% of those women representing the ANC
-
Women won only 25% of wards in eThekwini - lowest female representation in any metro
