Three churches have appealed to their followers to vote in the upcoming local government elections, despite trust in politicians having reached a new low.

Leaders from the Dutch Reformed Church, the Dutch Reformed Church of Africa and the Reformed Churches of South Africa say people should use the opportunity to vote about important issues on municipal level.

The churchleaders encouraged their followers to hold municipal leaders to account.

They say local leaders should not refuse to listen or use police force to handle criticism.
