South Africa’s African National Congress won 30.76 per cent of the vote in the 4 November municipal elections, down from 46 per cent in 2021, and secured a majority in only one of the country’s nine provinces.
The Democratic Alliance came second on about 25 per cent and held Cape Town, while turnout rose to 52 per cent from 46 per cent at the last local polls. The result deepens the party’s decline two years after it lost its national majority and was forced into a coalition government.
