Campaign season had begun
In an effort to engage with residents ahead of the Ward 25 by-elections on Wednesday, Mpumalanga MEC of Human Settlement, Ms Norah Mahlangu and Mayor Tsietsi Tolo, visited the area to lobby votes.
The hotly contested by-elections in Mhluzi, Extension 8, came as a result of Cllr Michael Mbatiwe’s passing in July.
MEC Mahlangu, Mayor Tolo, ANC candidate Patrick Malinga and other delegates inspected homes of residents and listened to their complaints.
ANC members were not the only ones lobbying in the blazing sun on Monday. The EFF was also seen canvassing the area. The DA was nowhere to be seen.
Special voting will take place at allocated voting stations on 3rd October between 08:00 and 17:00. The elderly and disabled who have applied for home visits, will be assisted to vote on the 2nd of October.
The voting stations are at the Seven Mountains of God tent as well as the Kutana Centre.
