Will ActionSA and the ANC announce a Johannesburg coalition deal by 22 November?

How this resolves

Closes: 23:59 SAST on 21 November 2026
Resolves: When ActionSA and the ANC confirm an agreement, or on 22 November 2026 if they have not.
Source: Public statements by ActionSA and the ANC, as reported by at least two reputable South African news organisations
Rules: Resolves YES if, between this market opening and 23:59 SAST on 22 November 2026, ActionSA and the ANC both publicly confirm a coalition or cooperation agreement to govern the City of Johannesburg together. Other parties may be part of the same agreement. Talks, a statement by only one of the two parties, or the two voting the same way in a council vote without a confirmed agreement do not count. Otherwise resolves NO.
If the source is down: If party statements cannot be found, use the parties’ official social media accounts. If it is still unclear whether an agreement was confirmed, the market is void.
If plans change: Guessing closes as soon as a qualifying agreement is announced. If the council’s first sitting is delayed, the 22 November deadline stands.
