The ANC walked off as winners during the by-election held in Batswaneng in Khutsong last week.

The by-election was held on November 26 in Ward 10 of Khutsong following the passing of ANC ward councillor Thabo Raymond Masiu.

Masiu passed away on September 3 after a period of illness.

His death triggered the constitutional requirement for a by-election to fill the vacant council seat.

The ANC managed to keep the ward after securing the majority of votes.

A total of 684 residents voted for this political party. The EFF managed to secure 279 votes, ActionSA 226 votes, MK / MKP 138 votes, the DA 50 votes, and the PAC 22 votes.

Tshepiso Chester Sekgothudi is the new ward councillor.

Die Scorpions-rugbyklub se spanne het verlede naweek op die veld 'n dapper stryd geveg teen die Union Knights. "Ons het begin met ons tweede rondte. Ons ouens het regtig goed gespeel en ons eerste span kruip al hoe nader aan 'n wen," sê die klub se bestuurder, Joe Bosch. Die o19-span was die sterre van die naweek. Hulle was die enigste span wat die Union Knights kon troef toe hulle die wedstryd met 'n indrukwekkende telling van 34-17 in hul guns beklink het. Die eerste span moes uiteindelik die knie buig met 'n telling van 26–34. Die tweede span moes eweneens die aftog blaas nadat hulle met 7–59 verloor het, terwyl die o21-span ongelukkig ook met 'n telling van 15–45 die knie moes buig.
