Meet the outlooks
These outlooks summarise patterns in your quiz answers. They are not identities, personality types or instructions on who to vote for.
The illustrations show fictional civic scenes. People's appearance and the colours in the artwork do not predict political views or endorse a party.
Browsing does not assign an outlook or change your result.
Outlook · 01The Sharp One
Sharp-sharp. Sorted, competent, same rules for everyone.
You want a municipality that is sorted: competent officials, contracts that go to whoever does the job best and cheapest, bills that get paid, and consequences for anyone who breaks the rules, whether councillor, contractor or resident. Rules matter to you because they protect the people who play by them.
Outlook · 02The Umphandi
Hustle up services that work, and nobody's stall gets shut.
You back competition, solar on the roof and private partners to get water and lights working, but not at the expense of the poor, migrants or informal traders. Ukuphanda is about making a plan and getting it done. For you, a growing city and an open city are the same city.
Outlook · 03The Skhokho
Skhokho energy: the municipality does the job itself, and the rules mean something.
You want the municipality to run water, power and cleaning itself rather than hand them to contractors, and to price them so poor households can pay. You also want the rules applied, on land, on trading and on unpaid bills, because a rule that isn't enforced protects nobody. Like a skhokho, you expect the job done properly and the line held.
Outlook · 04The Sisonke
We're in this together. A city for everyone, whoever you are.
You want public services priced so the poorest households get theirs, housing before evictions, and a city that includes everyone who lives in it, whatever they earn and wherever they were born, even where that means the city carries people who can't pay. Sisonke: nobody gets left outside.
Outlook · 05The Moja
It's moja. Each issue on its merits, no fixed camp.
You don't fit a neat box, and you're not sorry about it. Water, safety, tenders, housing: you weigh each one and back whatever works, whoever suggests it. Your best match depends on the issues you care about most, so read the detail.
Your own answers shape your outlook. The party comparison stays separate, with sources you can read.
