MINORITY LOCAL GOVERNANCE

Since the upset in local elections of South Africa's ruling African National Congress party, which saw the ANC lose three major metros to the opposition, namely the capital Pretoria, the host of the parliament - Cape Town, and the Country's main economic hub, Johannesburg, talk of a new era in politics has bee debated. The official Opposition party - the Democratic Alliance Party - did not have an outright win in two of the municipalities so had to rely on coalitions and supporting votes from the second major opposition party the EFF. This has established , for the first time, Minority local governance. How will this affect local government?
