IN CONVERSATION WITH GOODENOUGH MASHEGO

The announcement of the local government election results has shifted attention to Gauteng, particularly the City of Johannesburg, where the political make-up of the new council will determine who takes control of the country's economic hub.
With no single party securing an outright majority in several municipalities, coalition negotiations are expected to play a decisive role in determining the next municipal administrations.
In Johannesburg, the focus is now on which political parties can secure enough support to form a governing coalition, and whether those partnerships will provide the stability needed to address the city's longstanding service delivery challenges.
The negotiations also raise questions about whether political parties will prioritise a shared programme for governing the city or become embroiled in negotiations over mayoral positions and political influence.
To unpack these developments, we are joined by political analyst Goodenough Mashego…Mr Mashego
