Another emerging political force, ActionSA, is also making inroads in the country.
- In Cape Town, ActionSA is leading in some wards, indicating a growing challenge for the ANC.
- In Johannesburg, ActionSA is also showing promise, challenging the dominance of the ANC and the Democratic Alliance.
ANC's Struggles Continue
The ANC's struggles in the elections are not limited to the metropolitan areas, as the party is also facing decreased support in rural areas.
