Lue's biggest challenge will be keeping everyone happy

JOHANNESBURG， Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The latest results showed that the ruling African National Congress (ANC) is surging ahead nationally in the local government elections， ANC national spokesperson Zizi Kodwa said on Thursday.


According to results released by 20:00， the ANC has garnered 54.15 percent of the vote nationwide. The opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) is trailing behind at a mere 26.9 percent.


The ANC "is buoyant and energized" at the latest results， Kodwa said.


This result affirms the organization's confidence that South Africans have once again entrusted the ANC with managing the country's municipalities， he said.


South Africans have once again come out countrywide to reaffirm the ANC's progressive， pro-poor， pro-development service delivery agenda， said Kodwa.


The elections， seen by many as being the most contested since 1994， took place on Wednesday. For the first time in history， the elections saw 200 political parties and over 61，000 candidates participating to seek control of more than 200 municipalities.


The ANC has run a positive election campaign grounded in confidence and optimism， and rooted in the organization's outstanding service delivery track record， Kodwa noted.


"As results continue to come in to the National Results Center， the ANC has the utmost confidence that as the evening wears on， we will build on our current base for more than 10 million South Africans who have entrusted the ANC with their vote for us to continue creating a better life for all，" Kodwa said.


Contrary to the doomsday predictions of a range of pollsters， commentators and analysts， the voters of South Africa continue to have confidence in the ANC， he said.


Meanwhile， the DA also claimed victory in the elections.


DA leader Mmusi Maimane said the party has won the majority vote in Nelson Mandela Bay， a highly conteste.


Growth in support for the DA across South Africa as early results showed， bodes well for the DA's electoral outcomes， the party said.


Voters in Cape Town have re-elected the DA with a resounding majority， early results showed.


In Midvaal， Gauteng Province， the DA has also been re-elected with an increased majority.


"The early results show growth for the DA across the board in South African municipalities， and we are buoyant as we await the newest results that come in，" said James Selfe， Chairperson of DA Federal Council.


In Pretoria and Johannesburg， the ANC and DA are running neck to neck.


Election officials say it is still early to say who will be the winner in the two major cities.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (center) and forward Kevin Love (left) and guard Dwyane Wade sit on the bench against the Washington Wizards during the first half of their preseason NBA game at Capital One Arena in Washington DC on October 8 cheap nike air max wholesale , 2017.

Dwyane Wade signed as a free agent with the Cavaliers without being promised a starting job.


He's got one anyway.


After toying with other lineup combinations, Cavs coach Tryonn Lue said on Monday that Wade will start at shooting guard alongside Derrick Rose in Cleveland's remodeled backcourt. Wade recently signed a one-year contract with the Cavs, reuniting with LeBron James in Cleveland after the two superstars spent four seasons together in Miami.


Now they're together again in the starting lineup.


Lue will unveil Cleveland's new lineup — Wade nike air max shoes wholesale , Rose, James, Jae Crowder and Kevin Love — on Tuesday night (Wednesday morning China time) in an exhibition against Chicago nike air max wholesale online , Wade's team last season. The 12-time All-Star will replace JR Smith, who will come off the bench after starting 112 games over the past two seasons.


Lue said Smith didn't have any problem moving into a new role on Cleveland's second unit, which will also include Tristan Thompson nike air max mens wholesale , Kyle Korver and Jeff Green and is liable to undergo numerous modifications throughout the season.


It's a big change for Smith, who has been a major contributor the past three seasons for the defending Eastern Conference champions.


"He was fine," Lue said of Smith nike air max womens wholesale , who missed 36 games last season after undergoing surgery on a broken thumb. "It's tough, you've been in position where you went to three straight Finals and you've been the starting 2-guard. But like I said, it's about sacrifice if you want to win. JR was great about it. Just knows he has to have a different role right now so we'll see how it works."


Lue opened training camp with Wade as the point guard for Cleveland's second unit. But the coach said he decided in the past few days to move the 35-year-old in the starting lineup along with James nike air max wholesale china , who has been slowed by a sprained ankle.


Wade and James have developed a unique chemistry on the floor, where they are able to move separately and in unison. Lue wanted to take advantage of that bond and will team them up again.


"Just something we're going to do to start the season and see how it works," he said.


Lue's biggest challenge will be keeping everyone happy with their playing time. That's not necessarily a bad thing with all the talent at his disposal.


As for his starting five nike air max wholesale , Lue loves the group's versatility.


"They all can push it out on the break if they rebound the basketball," he said. "Guys who can make plays, good cutters nike air max classic bw wholesale china , good slashers. We also can space the floor. We have a lot of weapons. We just gotta put them all together so they all play well together."
