South Africans vote in key municipal elections
In tonight's edition, a crucial test for South Africa's ruling ANC as millions vote to elect municipal governments. Also, Ethiopia has expelled six Sudanese diplomats amid accusations it's allowing the paramilitary RSF to launch drone strikes from its territory.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as a local election test for the ANC and tie voter anger to failing public services. Al Jazeera uses the broader, more neutral headline about a test for the embattled party, while The Guardian US foregrounds anger over poor services and says the party is expected to get less than a third of the vote. The Guardian’s extract is the only one that specifically mentions water outages and power cuts.
