Coalition talks for Joburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni
The 2026 local government elections left no party with an outright majority in Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni, so coalition negotiations are about to start. ActionSA could tip the balance: its share in Tshwane rose to 22.07%, up from 8.64% in 2021. No mayors have been confirmed, and the talks are expected to run for about two weeks. Read the full story on the Gauteng metro coalition talks.
Shoprite and Investec plan a debit card
Shoprite Group says it will work with Investec on a debit card and an upgraded transactional account for its customers. The plan still needs regulatory approval, and no launch date, fees or account requirements have been announced. Read what we know about the Shoprite debit card.
