South Africans vote in local elections that could continue the decline of the once-mighty ANC

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africans are voting Wednesday in local elections that are expected to be a tough test for the African National Congress party, which led the country out of white minority rule but has seen a consistent decline in support over the last decade.The elections will decide who leads South Africa's eight main city municipalities as well as its 44 district and 205 local councils.South African President Cyril Ramaphosa cast his vote in Johannesburg, lauding what he said was a great turnout of people coming out to vote across the country.“The turnout of our people, as one looks at the TV screens, the queues that are all over the country, just makes this a very special and historic day.“My view is that we’ve never really, in years, had a local government election like this, where we have so many parties,” said Ramaphosa after casting his vote.In total, 546 political parties were vying for votes in the elections.Voters disgruntled with lack of basic public servicesSome vo
