Election update
Final numbers as published for the Emalahleni municipal area (105 polling stations and 34 wards) and for the provincial election in Mpumalanga ( total of all voting stations in the province).
EMalahleni valid votes represent 11% of all valid votes in the province. My thanks to all voters who utilised their democratic rights to vote and the positive and peaceful manner in which they did so.
Also from my side thanks to Sizwe Maisela as municipal electoral officer for guiding the municipal role and responsibilities and to all my directors, managers and staff who ensured that we could deliver services and attend to emergencies to enable the elect poling stations to function.
