PRETORIA | President Cyril Ramaphosa will later today attend the announcement of the final results of the 2021 Municipal Elections.

The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) will make the announcement after South Africans headed to the polls to elect a new municipal political leadership on Monday. Special votes were cast on 30 and 31 October.

By 8:19am on Thursday, vote counting had received 97%.

These elections were the sixth local government elections held in South Africa, since the end of apartheid in 1994.

The final results will be revealed at the Results Operations Centre at the Tshwane Events Centre, Pretoria.

According to the IEC, all had reached 95% and above of vote counting. Leading the charge was the Free State with all votes accounted for in the province. Hot on its heels was the North West, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal at 99%. A percent behind was Gauteng and the Northern Cape at 98%. Not far off was Limpopo and the Eastern Cape at 97%. The Western Cape lagged at 89%.

A breakdown of the figures sees the ANC, with the 45.94% of the votes, securing the control of 114 of the 155 councils where it had a majority vote. The DA comes in second with 21.15% of the vote. The party will control 11 of the 23 councils it had a secure percentage.

Hung municipalities will require coalition governments between parties represented in the respective councils. The third-largest party was the EFF, with 10.38% of the vote. However, the party controls no councils nor does it have a majority lead in any of the country’s 257 councils.

The third party with most councils was the IFP, controlling eight of the 13 councils it had majority votes.

A total of 64 councils were hung, which was a significant increase from the 29 in the 2016 Local Government Elections.

The announcement ceremony, which will be broadcast live, commences at 6pm.

The Presidency said President Ramaphosa, in his capacity as President of the Republic, will deliver brief remarks during the ceremony.

“These elections enabled voters to exercise their democratic right and civic duty to elect new leadership and influence service delivery where they live,” the Presidency said.

Sihle Zikalala has been succeeded as the new premier of KwaZulu-Natal by Nomusa Dube-Ncube. Since the start of democracy in 1994, she becomes the province's first female premier. READ ALSO:Divisions in Cosatu ahead of elective conference At a Monday morning press conference, the newly elected provincial leadership officially announced Dube-appointment. Ncube's Prior to the weekend, three people had begun to gain attention as potential competitors for the position made vacant by Zikalala's departure last week, but Dube-Ncube stood out the most. Mbali Fraser and Amanda Bani were further candidates. Dube-Ncube served as South Africa's ambassador to the Czech Republic and has had a fascinating political career inside the ranks of the ANC, which is currently in power. Dube-Ncube was the mayor of the North Central council prior to the merger, which gave rise to the current eThekwini municipality. She has also held the positions of MEC for cooperative governance and traditional affairs in addition to serving as the party's main whip in the provincial assembly. The provincial leadership, chosen following an active elective conference two weeks ago, said this Monday that it had received a letter of resignation from Zikalala. Party provincial secretary,...

Divisions in Cosatu ahead of elective conference

by Farida Joyce
August 8, 2022

Deep divides among a number of Cosatu affiliates, the largest trade union federation in the nation, raise the possibility that a contentious race for leadership positions may break out when the group conducts its elective conference next month. Large affiliates of the federation, particularly those in the public sector, are allegedly beset by factionalism that hinders efforts to bring them together in support of those who will run the organization after September. READ ALSO:One person dies in Kagiso protest The leadership succession is traditionally managed via the federation's central executive committee and public sector union organizations like the joint mandatory committee (JMC) to avoid ugly battles that could destabilize the organization. Zingiswa Losi, the president of Cosatu, may seem to be in a strong position to maintain her job, but it has recently come to light that she is facing opposition. Additionally, it has come to light that Bheki Ntshalintshali, the federation's general secretary, was the target of a significant lobbying effort. If that were to occur, he would become the only Cosatu boss since the federation's founding in 1985 to be dismissed after completing one term. Louis Thipe, the second deputy president of Cosatu, is said to have declared she plans to resign. Louis Thipe, the second deputy president of Cosatu, is said to have declared she plans to resign. Freda Oosthuysen, the national treasurer of the federation, is expected to keep her job after being strongly supported by her affiliate, the influential Southern African Clothing and Textile Workers Union (Sactwu). The SA Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu), one of Cosatu's largest affiliates, is adamant that the leadership that emerges from the congress should reflect the balance between unions in the public and private sectors. “The leadership should...

Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe is accused of raping a woman when she was 15 years old when she had stayed with him and his wife. The woman, who is presently located in Queensland, Australia, opened the complaint on Monday at the Mount Ommaney police station. A prominent Zimbabwean socialite named Suzan Mutami went live on Twitter on Friday and addressed the accusation in front of more than 12,000 viewers.

Limpopo Mayor Shot and Killed

by Farida Joyce
July 22, 2022

Maximum police resources have been deployed in the hunt for three suspects in the Thursday night slaying of a mayor of Limpopo. The attack claimed the life of Moses Maluleke, 56, the mayor of Malamulele's Collins Chabane local municipality, and injured his son, age 18. Following the unfortunate occurrence, Athlenda Mathe, a national police spokesperson, said they were searching for suspects. According to the police, three armed individuals who broke into Maluleke's house on Thursday night fired at him, killing him. They demanded cash from the mayor and his son, who is 18 years old. The men started shooting when the pair resisted their demands. Thembi Hadebe, the provincial commissioner for Limpopo, has been tasked by national commissioner Fannie Masemola, according to the police, to employ all available means to find those responsible for Maluleke's murder. The mayor died immediately from his wounds, but his 18-year-old son, who was also hurt, lived. “According to reports, three unknown suspects entered the mayor's home in Saselamani...
