Residents of Matatiele are voting from today on whether they want to be re-incorporated into KwaZulu-Natal or remain part of the Eastern Cape.

The voting will last for four days. Matatiele was incorporated into the Eastern Cape in February 2006.

Co-operative Governance Minister Sicelo Shiceka has emphasised that this week's voting is not a referendum, but a process to test the views of the people.

A similar voting process was held at Moutse on the Limpopo/Mpumalanga border recently.
