ANC a no-show at election debate

The African National Congress (ANC) was notably absent from a recent election debate, having been invited but failing to confirm its attendance.

The party’s absence was highlighted during a session where other mayoral candidates were given the opportunity to outline their service delivery priorities and plans for job creation in townships.

This development occurs as political parties prepare for the upcoming November 4 municipal elections, with recent polling indicating that no single party is likely to secure an outright majority in the city, potentially leading to another coalition government.
