Cara Anna: Apartheid Years and Coalition Governments

cara anna: The results remained too close to call in the country largest city, Johannesburg, and the Tshwane metropolitan area around the capital, Pretoria, according to Toronto Star. The opposition Democratic Alliance was challenging the African National Congress in both municipalities. By Cara Anna The Associated Press Fri., Aug. 5, 2016 JOHANNESBURG—With 95 per cent of votes counted Friday in municipal elections, South Africa ruling party appears to be headed for its biggest electoral blow since it won power at the end of apartheid 22 years ago. Neither party appeared to be winning a majority in those two cities that would allow it to govern alone, raising the possibility of coalition governments. The ANC lost a key municipality named after its star, Nelson Mandela Bay, to the Democratic Alliance. Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa told reporters it was too early to analyze the election results, saying it would be like reading somebody tombstone before they die. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
