President Cyril Ramaphosa urged South Africans to vote on Monday, saying citizens can make local government stronger through their vote.
“I call on each and every South African who is registered to vote to go out tomorrow and vote for the candidate and the party of your choice.
“Your vote counts. Every single vote counts. With your vote, you are building a better South Africa.
“A South Africa with strong, well-run and effective municipalities that can improve the lives of every citizen.”

He said local government elections are about the issues that matter most to all South Africans: such as housing, electricity, water, sanitation, and decent roads.
“We all want to get better services. We all want to have decent, sustainable work. We all want to see our businesses grow and for our communities to thrive.”
Ramaphosa added that this could only happen if the local government is strong.
“With your vote, you are exercising your constitutional responsibility as a citizen to build our democracy.”
