# The ANC has named 42 potential mayoral candidates for South Africa’s eight metropolitan municipalities, rather than selecting one candidate for each metro. The announcement follows months of delays ahead of the November 4 local government elections. The party widened its selection process, with candidates screened, vetted and interviewed. ANC national officials are expected to make the final selections in September. Meanwhile, ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to present the party’s manifesto today with a focus on municipal governance and service delivery.
