Conversation Lab: Fixing Local Government

As voters prepare for the 2021 local government election, how can w [...]

By Nontshisekelo Shange South African politics is shifting. There now exists the potential for political players to leave behind larger parties without joining or forming another one. On 11 June 2020, the Constitutional Court declared the Electoral Act, 1998 unconstitutional to the extent that it prevents independent candidates from running for public office.
