Coalitions, ANC Decline & City Turnarounds. 2026 Local Elections Talk with Cilliers Brink...

South Africa’s 2026 local elections could be a real turning point. Especially in the metros.

In this keynote, Cilliers Brink lays out a practical roadmap.

Private concessions for water & sewage.

Tech-driven policing (cams, live dispatch).

And stable coalitions that sideline chaos. Highlights:

1. Why metros matter most for growth & services 2. Private sector partnerships: ports/rail today → water/sewage next 3. Tech to boost safety & municipal productivity 4. GNU realities vs court wins on NHI, expropriation, quotas, procurement 5. 2026 strategy: ANC needs to be 2nd/3rd in major metros; reform bloc needs a clear mandate 6. “Long obedience in the same direction” — appoint capable officials and back tough calls If you want functioning cities, reliable water & power, and jobs, watch and share.

With very best wishes,

Chris Wilkinson.
