Voting has now ended, but as the country awaits the results of the 2016 Municipal Elections, Twitter is buzzing.
Voting to find the new councillors of each ward took place on 3 August throughout South Africa and today it is expected that all the results will be validated.
Twitter users pass the time between now and then by getting a number of hashtags and terms trending including #IfDAWins, #ElectionsResults, The ANC, Nkandla and Tshwane.
Check out what the Johannesburg Twitterverse had to say:

Of course. Didn't you know that the ANC OWNS all black people? How dare they exercise freedom of choice? https://t.co/BBPPf0dgqh
