Coalition Chaos Ahead? Ramaphosa's ANC Faces Big Loss in South Africa Elections | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost explains how South Africa’s political landscape has reached a historic turning point after the ruling African National Congress (ANC) suffered its worst-ever electoral defeat in the latest municipal elections. Securing just 30.76% of the vote—a dramatic 14-percentage-point drop from 2021—the ANC failed to win a clear majority in most key areas. Frustrated voters turned away from the ANC amid 34% unemployment, rampant corruption, persistent water shortages, and chronic rolling blackouts. With over half of the nation's 213 councils hung and Cape Town remaining the only major metro with an outright winner, the country is entering a fragile new era of intense coalition talks. Political battles are centring on hubs like Johannesburg, where the Democratic Alliance led the polls. Party leaders now face a strict 14-day legal deadline to form local governments as President Ramaphosa urges politicians to put public service above party rivalries. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.CHAPTER PLATES:
