Oh joy! The Municipal Elections 2016 to be exact.
And, for just about the first time since 1994, we could be looking at some big changes.
Always a politically active country, South Africa is not a particularly happy place right now and this has been a bitterly fought campaign. But with big cities like Johannesburg and Tshwane, and villages like Port Elizabeth (Nelson Mandela Bay) virtually neck and neck in the opinion polls, the previously all-powerful ANC looks set to incur significant losses.
Quite how they will take that remains to be seen.
