Introduction to South Africa's Politics. Last week, with temperatures in Johannesburg reaching 31 degrees Celsius and the city’s taps running dry due to government mismanagement, 74-year-old Helen Zille — de facto leader of South Africa’s center-right Democratic Alliance (DA) party — dunked herself in a large pool of water gushing from a burst pipe in the middle of a suburban street. ## The Stunt and Its Implications. As election stunts go, it was pretty tame. However, it highlights the issues faced by the city due to government mismanagement. ## Conclusion. The stunt by Helen Zille brings attention to the problems in Johannesburg, including the dry taps and burst pipes, which are a result of poor governance.
