South Africa Votes in Local Elections
South Africans head to the polls in municipal elections facing widespread anger over corruption and failing public services. The vote threatens to further weaken the ruling African National Congress amidst expectations of unsteady coalition governments.
South Africa votes in municipal elections on Wednesday, with voter anger over corruption and failing public services threatening to further weaken the ruling party. The African National Congress dropped below 50% support in the 2021 municipal elections and could plunge below 40% this time. With no single party large enough to take its place, major cities face unsteady coalition governments.
