## Resource

Johannesburg’s political race is heating up as new Ipsos polling shows the ANC narrowly leading the DA — a major shift from recent Social Research Foundation data that had the DA way ahead. ANC officials are celebrating the uptick, calling it proof their support is rebounding, but warn they can’t rest on their laurels. The goal? Turn momentum into real power and win back voters’ trust. But with wildly different poll results — one showing ANC at 31%, the other at just 18% — the message is clear: polls aren’t gospel, and the real battle’s still ahead — at the ballot box.
