All about Tshwane’s regions and wards

Local government elections will be taking place on November 1, which has been declared a public holiday by President Cyril Ramaphosa.

He has called on all registered voters to use the opportunity to elect new leadership and influence service delivery.

“Voters are reminded as well that they will only be able to cast their votes at the polling stations in wards where they are registered. In the event that voters may consider travel, they will not be able to transfer their votes to voting stations away from their designated wards,” said Ramaphosa.

He urged voters to ensure that they adhere to the Covid-19 health regulations as they exercise their vote.

We acknowledge that the print and digital media plays an important role when it comes to informing communities before and during election periods.

Caxton Local Media tells readers what they must know on the practicalities of voting, and provides information regarding the right and duty to vote. Where necessary, we de-bunk mis- and disinformation relating to elections.

We reflect a multiplicity of voices in our pre-election and election reporting, and do not allow favouritism or biasedness in favour of any party or candidate. Where topics are discussed by political representatives [or commentators – optional], or where reporting features various parties or figures, we allow for the reflection of multiple voices of all those involved. Being balanced is our goal.
