The national election registration weekend has arrived. The registration stations in Lydenburg, and in the rest of the country, will be open on November 18 and 19 from 08:00 to 17:00.
All South African citizens aged 16 years or older can register to vote, but to vote you need to be 18 or older.
The registration points in Mashishing and Lydenburg will be the same venues where voters cast their votes during the previous elections. These include the TVET College, the community hall in Ext 2, the Thaba Chweu Local Municipality town hall, and the old sports hall next to the new AstroTurf in Long Tom Street towards Laerskool Lydenburg.
