DW
What the coverage says
South Africans are casting ballots in municipal elections while grappling with power cuts and water shortages, alongside widespread discontent over municipal service delivery. DW and the BBC note that these conditions have raised questions about whether the governing African National Congress will see its support continue to drop. The Guardian and Al Jazeera report that polls point toward a severe electoral defeat for the party, with projections placing its expected share below forty percent or under a third of the total vote.
