The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) in the Western Cape has urged residents in Ward 30 in the Cape metro to exercise their right by voting in Wednesday’s by-elections to choose a new councillor.
The ward, which includes Manenberg, was left vacant
following the death of the Democratic Alliance’s Bonita Jacobs in August, who
passed away due to a short illness.
