南非最大城市的问题根深蒂固。选民会在下周的地方选举中惩罚非国大吗？
The problems run deep in South Africa’s largest city. Will voters punish the ANC in next week’s local elections?
距离南非地方选举还有一周，约翰内斯堡亚历山德拉镇的人行道和道路上堆满了垃圾，在酷热中腐烂。在尤克斯凯河，河岸被碎石和垃圾堵塞，散发恶臭的褐色污水从涵洞流出。
One week before the local elections in South Africa, the pavements and roads of the Johannesburg township Alexandra were filled with piles of rubbish, rotting in the heat. At the Jukskei River, its banks choked with rubble and litter, foul-smelling brown water flowed out of a culvert.
“我们面临太多挑战了，” 亚历山德拉水战士环保组织的首席执行官塞马迪·曼加涅说，该组织负责组织河流清理和在河岸植树。“如果不是电力问题，就是水的问题；如果不是水的问题，就是垃圾问题。”
“We’ve got way too many challenges,” said Semadi Manganye, the chief executive of Alexandra Water Warriors, an environmental NGO that organises clean-ups of the river and plants trees on its banks. “If it’s not electricity, it’s water. If it’s not water, it’s waste.”
