ANALYSIS: Joburg’s post-election coalition puzzle could make for intriguing future bedfellows
The focus of the local government election in Joburg has been on the campaigns of the DA and the demise of governance under the ANC, but the real complexity may be slightly obscured.

How FLIC Trust Scores workFLIC Trust Scores turn community ratings into a 0–100 signal about how readers assess a story. Fake News votes lower the score, while Liberal, Conservative, and Independent classifications support it. The formula also rewards a balanced split between Liberal and Conservative ratings instead of treating one political viewpoint as automatically more trustworthy. Scores can change as more people vote and represent community judgment, not a factual verdict or substitute for reading the original reporting. Learn more about how FLIC works.
