The 2026 local elections are shaping up to be a major test for South Africa’s political parties — and Renaldo Gouws has plenty to say about the battle ahead.
In this interview, Donald Brown speaks to Renaldo Gouws about the Freedom Front Plus, the DA’s prospects in Nelson Mandela Bay, coalition politics, conservative voters, political values and the changing choices facing South African voters. Gouws also challenges the idea that smaller parties simply represent a “wasted vote” and explains why he believes voters should look beyond traditional political loyalties.
The conversation also tackles municipal politics, party competition, name changes and the growing contest for political influence ahead of the 4 November 2026 local government elections.
