Could South Africa be heading for its biggest political shift since 1994?
In this explosive conversation, Mike Sham joins Truth Report to break down why the 2026 local government elections may be even more important than the 2024 national elections.

Topics discussed include:
The battle for Johannesburg and Gauteng
Helen Zille’s impact on local elections
ANC leadership challenges
DA coalition strategy
The possibility of an ANC-EFF-MK alliance
Why voters may be changing their political priorities
The future of South Africa heading into 2029
