The road to the local government elections is long, says the ‘colourful’ Patriotic Alliance’s Gayton McKenzie. The surging party may win a decisive role in Johannesburg after ousting the DA from Eldorado Park in recent by-elections.

Johannesburg - The battle between the DA and the ANC to control certain municipal wards across the country or retain power is heating up as candidates keep a close eye on the proceedings of Wednesday’s by-elections.
About 40 by-elections are taking place around South Africa.
In Gauteng, the City of Joburg, the City of Ekurhuleni and the City of Tshwane are hotly contested as many wards are vacant due to various reasons.
Ward 18 in Eldorado Park and ward 17 in Klipspruit are under DA control but are being challenged by the ANC and the Patriotic Alliance (PA).
