ODDS AND ENDS

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A veteran South African politician is campaigning for mayor of Johannesburg by snorkeling in a giant, water-filled trench. Helen Zille posted video of herself in a wetsuit and snorkel gear, paddling through muddy water in an upscale suburb. Zille says a burst water pipe has sat unfixed for about three years. She says the stunt highlights years of city mismanagement. Johannesburg is known for private wealth but struggles with failing services. The current mayor of Johannesburg says the hole has now been fixed.
