The fifth democratic election passed by relatively quietly in Stanger and surrounds yesterday.
Most voters commented on the improved organisation, with many voting stations separating booths by surname to decrease waiting time.
DA-strongholds wards 16 (Stanger Manor) and neighbouring 17 (Stanger Manor, High Ridge, Monkey Town) were awash with blue while the ANC’s bright yellow dominated King Shaka Street in ward 19.
Of 4 863 registered voters, 2885 valid votes were cast in ward 17. Slightly more than half the 4 036 registered voters in ward 16 cast valid votes. Ward 19 had a pleasing voter turnout of 3884 valid votes – with 4930 registered voters.
