The Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) has published the revised programme following the declaration of a state of disaster and lockdown to prevent the spread of Covid-19 for the provision of comments and inputs on the draft ward maps.
In terms of the revised programme, all municipalities that were consulted prior to the declaration of a state of disaster and lockdown have to submit their written submissions by no later than May 31, 2020.
The City of Ekurhuleni was consulted on March 12 by the MDB, after three stakeholder engagements by the city on proposed ward demarcations.
