Hundreds gathered in Johannesburg to celebrate LGBTQ+ pride, per Africanews.com, as the city grapples with widespread infrastructure decay and public discontent.

The march coincided with growing anger over run-down roads, power cuts, and water shortages, The Guardian reports, with residents calling for immediate improvements to basic services.

Meanwhile, the African National Congress faces mounting pressure following reports of deteriorating conditions in the city, as Bloomberg notes, raising questions about governance and public trust.
