The ANC is paying for its contempt
The ANC is seeing a drop in support ahead of the 2026 local government elections. This decline stems from years of failed renewal and poor governance at the municipal level. Opposition groups including the DA and MK Party are making gains as a result. Voter apathy and general dissatisfaction have grown. The governing party appears increasingly disconnected from the communities it used to lead. Political arrogance is cited as a factor in this shift.
