Ward 90 residents urged to register ahead of upcoming by-election
Ward 90 by-election will be held on November 26 to elect a new councillor to represent the community.
Ward 90 is preparing to elect a new councillor following the passing of Martin Williams.
This ward covers Clynton, Craighall, Craighall Park, Dunkeld, Dunkeld West, Glenadrienne, Hurlingham, Hyde Park, Illovo, Parkmore, Riepen Park, and Sandhurst.
Residents will have the chance to choose who represents them in the City of Johannesburg Council — someone who will stand up for local issues like roads, water, electricity, waste management, and parks.

By-elections give residents the chance to vote directly for the individual who will represent their community. Your vote affects local service delivery, public safety, and the quality of life in your neighbourhood.
Truluck reminds everyone: “Democracy only works if you participate. Make sure you are registered, and make your voice count.”
