đź’¨ Abstract

In Johannesburg, residents are threatening to boycott the upcoming local elections due to long-standing issues with electricity, water, and garbage collection, blaming the ANC-led municipality. This disillusionment reflects broader complaints about ANC governance, with the party's support dwindling over the past two decades. The elections are seen as a crucial test for the ANC, with predictions of coalition governments and intense competition, particularly in Johannesburg.
