Africa Melane will speak to the Democratic Alliance National Spokesperson, Karabo Khakhau. The 2026 local government elections have reshaped South Africa's political landscape, with the DA recording gains in several municipalities while facing the challenge of coalition-building in hung councils. From its performance in the Western Cape to its potential partnerships with ActionSA in Gauteng, we reflect on the party's election results, the changing political landscape and what lies ahead as negotiations begin.
