Minister for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Des Van Rooyen says a date for this year's local government elections will be announced soon.

Van Rooyen was speaking with SABC News on the side while attending a church service in the North West on Sunday.

He says his department is still awaiting the ruling on the leave to appeal the electoral court ruling on the Tlokwe by-elections in Potchefstroom.

 The electoral court has since ruled that, the electoral commission supply voters roll with voters addresses.
