Voter registration for the upcoming Ward 30 By-Election will take place this weekend, where voters are urged to register and check their relevant details.
The post was made vacant by the death of Ward 30 councillor Bonita Jacobs in August.
Jacobs – who represented the Democratic Alliance – was elected in the 2021 Local Government Elections and received more than 60% of the ward ballot.
