Mzansi is in stitches over this ANC and DA poster battle on a pavement

Two women holding election posters on a pavement turned it into a full-contact contest, each one jumping in front of the other's placard as a car drove past. One held an ANC poster, the other a DA poster, and neither was willing to let the other's party be seen. The clip, posted by @leesikhiya on 23 October, has about 620,000 views and more than 110,000 likes.

The caption, "Ndithi sovetela eyiphi nha good people", roughly asks "so which one are we voting for, good people?" It lands a week before the local government elections on Wednesday, 4 November, when election posters are on lampposts and fences across the country.

The video doesn't say where it was filmed. Some commenters reckon it looks like East London, but that hasn't been confirmed. Briefly News picked up the clip on 29 October.
