South Africa’s ANC on track for new lows in local polls

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around the ANC’s weakening position in South Africa’s local elections, but they do so differently. Al Jazeera’s headline is more direct, saying the party is on track for new lows and adding a vote count estimate in its extract. The BBC instead foregrounds pressure on the ANC to reverse decline and, in its extract only, quotes residents saying they are tired of poor service delivery.
