The ANC has once again put in a strong showing at the polls in some wards in Alexandra where the party took an early lead in the impoverished township, according to preliminary counting of votes.

The ANC has taken a jab at ActionSA and its leader Herman Mashaba over his open rejection of forming a coalition government with the ANC in the municipalities where the governing party failed to secure a clear majority.

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba said that the voter turnout was a reflection of how the ANC had failed the country.

The African National Congress (ANC) is so far leading in the City of Johannesburg, with 19,000 votes of those already counted, followed by the Democratic Alliance and in third place in Joburg so far, ActionSA.

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba believes his new political party is doing well in its first electoral race.

The official opposition, Democratic Alliance will govern in 13 councils.

The new kid on the block said it has secured ward 25 in Newcastle.

The EFFs Julius Malema was in Polokwane while ActionSA, leader Herman Mashaba crisscrossed Johannesburg on the weekend.

Election Analyst Dawie Scholz said on Monday Tshwane and Johannesburg will be the metros to watch in Gauteng as ActionSA and the Freedom Front Plus may challenge the status quo.

All their pre-election promises will mean nothing as they form their coalitions to control municipalities
