The Democratic Alliance, Congress of the People and National Freedom Party have all exceeded expectations in this year’s local government elections.

So says political analyst Harald Pakendorf, who adds that the results so far have painted a worrying picture for the African National Congress.

Pakendorf says the ANC may have claimed victory in the majority of municipalities, but in some, this was by a very small margin.

He adds that the startling rise of the NFP spells trouble for the leadership of their KwaZulu-Natal rivals.
