Corruption. Broken promises. Feeling ignored. They're all reasons young South Africans say they don't vote.

Ahead of South Africa's voter registration weekend, this isn't a lecture about politics or who you should vote for. It's a conversation about power.

And if municipalities control so much of our daily lives, are local elections the ones we've been underestimating all along? We unpack the numbers, the frustration, and the case for making your mark count this November.
