This matches your priorities to the manifestos, not to a party. You'll answer 14 questions, drawn at random from a larger set each time, about what matters most to you locally. We then show which parties' manifestos make the most concrete pledges on those topics, ranked by how well they match your priorities, not by political alignment. This is not a voting recommendation.

South Africa’s local government elections are on Wednesday, 4 November 2026. You’ll be voting for the people who run your municipality: who fixes the roads, keeps the water and electricity on, collects refuse and manages your rates. So the most useful question is which party actually plans to deal with the problems in your area.
You answer 14 short questions, drawn at random from a larger set, about what matters most to you locally, across 13 topics such as housing, water, electricity, safety and jobs. The quiz then shows which parties’ manifestos make concrete, matching pledges on those topics, each with the page it comes from. It doesn’t rank parties by politics, and it isn’t a voting recommendation.
The quiz covers the 17 parties whose manifestos we could find. For each, that’s its 2026 local government manifesto, or its most recent one where marked. Read any party’s plans topic by topic:
