Herman Mashaba says ActionSA’s highest decision-making body will meet to discuss coalition details on Tuesday evening

The IEC said 55 percent of the votes have been counted. It is aiming to finalise 90 percent of the vote Tuesday, 2 November.

A vehicle suddenly stopped, and three people with firearms jumped out and shot at police officers on Monday evening.

The ANC isn’t in a good space, and when a region like Ekurhuleni is slipping from their grasp, it really is ‘crisis time’ for the party.

ActionSA are set to be a MAJOR results disruptor across several key municipal regions – as voters rush to support Herman Mashaba’s party.

The plot is thickening in South Africa on Tuesday, as the Election Results continue to pour in – and we’ve got a few surprises to report.

Voting for the 2021 Municipal Elections will come to an end soon but what about those results? Here’s what the ANC, DA and EFF need to beat.

What on EARTH has happened here? The DA’s Helen Zille was physically taken away from a voting station in Bethelsdorp earlier today.

We have passed the halfway mark on Election Day. The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) will follow this eight-step process when the polls close.

While elections have run smoothly for the most part, the IEC did report a few worrisome incidents. Here’s what you need to know.
