The race towards the November local government elections has begun, with political parties intensifying activity through motions of no confidence and ActionSA merger announcements .
Less than 30 days into the new year, two Gauteng mayors, Johannesburgs Dada Morero and Sedibengs Lerato Makola, are facing motions of no confidence, reflecting continued political instability in local government, according to political analysts.
Political analyst Sandile Swana said the developments should be viewed within the context of election preparations rather than expectations of immediate governance changes.
