Near-complete counts put the ANC at about 31%, the DA at 25% and MK at 10%; more than 100 councils are hung, setting up coalition talks. Coalition Watch: The DA is leading in Johannesburg and is on course to retain its majority in Cape Town.

Election Violence: More than 20 politically linked killings were recorded during the election period, prompting calls for investigations into those who ordered and funded the attacks. Cape Town Arts: Mi Casa opens Kirstenbosch’s 19-show summer concert season on November 22, with Lira, Simphiwe Dana, Goldfish and others on the programme.
