It's a cool map, but having zero knowledge about SA politics, I have no idea what it really represents.

Where are each of these parties on the left-right scale? Was Nelson Mandela (my only SA political reference point) attached to any? Who ruled during apartheid? I need some context!

Maybe that the mk had gone from nothing to a significant chunk of the votes.

Maybe a splinter group?

Good point, I was looking at the EFF thinking that was the one on the rise due to the bar graph on the very right. It seems the the colours on the map indicate the current year, but that is not included in the trend bar graph, which is a bit confusing.

I was thinking EFF was probably a far right party on the rise and if other countries are anything to go by M.K is probably an even further right splinter. Although this is South Africa so I would expect quite a bit of right already.

Also, in the table all of the parties have 0 seats so that seems like a pointless column.

If nothing else, it is interesting how concentrated that section is around durban
