FEBRUARY BY-ELECTIONS: DA edges PA, ANC in Western Cape ward polls, ActionSA delivers more scares in Gauteng

The DA picked up two seats in the Western Cape, edging the Patriotic Alliance in a Cederberg by-election and beating the ANC in the town of Bonnievale in the Langeberg municipality. The ANC retained a seat in Mogale City on the West Rand of Gauteng, despite losing ground to ActionSA in a traditionally safe ANC seat.
