Assessing the councillor competency gap in South Africa's municipal elections

The Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania is set to feature a crucial matchup between Canada and Australia on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET. The victor of this game will advance to face Panama, while the defeated team will be eliminated from the tournament. Canada, represented by Little Mountain Little League from Vancouver, British Columbia, faced a challenging opening match, losing 7-0 to South Korea, who also triumphed over Czechia in their subsequent game.

Despite this setback, the Canadian team did not appear overly disheartened, having conceded 9 runs and made three errors.

Australia, on the other hand, was granted a bye into Upper Round 2 but ultimately lost to Mexico 7-1, relegating them to the lower bracket. Although the Australian team registered more hits than Mexico, their performance was hampered by three errors and a 3-0 deficit in the first inning. This year's LLWS in Williamsport, USA, encompasses 20 teams, with 10 originating from the United States and the remaining from international leagues.

Last year, Tung-Yuan Little League from Taipei, Taiwan emerged victorious, defeating Summerlin South Little League from Las Vegas in the final.
