Party activity
South Africans are voting in highly contested local elections likely to see a haemorrhaging of votes for the country’s former ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC).
This year’s voting season has been marked by intense campaigns that have included politicians spinning cars, watching grannies knit and even wading through giant-sized potholes.
Leaders are campaigning to head South Africa’s nearly 300 municipalities, responsible for basic service provision such as water, electricity and refuse collection.
