The battle for the control of the Mamusa Local Municipality looks set to have a chilling outcome as all contesting parties have claimed victory ahead of elections.
Johannesburg - The battle for the control of the Mamusa Local Municipality in Schweizer Reneke in the North West looks set to have a chilling outcome as all contesting parties ANC, EFF, Forum for Service Delivery , Freedom Front Plus and DA have claimed victory ahead of elections on Wednesday.
More than 20 000 people will go to the polls and cast their votes in full municipal elections after the North West provincial government dissolved the previous municipality due to acts of corruption and maladministration in October last year. In the run-up to these elections, most of the parties deployed their senior leaders to the small dorpie - the birthplace of ANC veteran and Rivonia Trialist Ahmed Kathrada - to lobby for votes.
The big guns included EFF’s Julius Malema, DA’s John Steenhuisen, FSD Mbahare Kekana while the ANC deployed Obed Bapela and former Northern Cape Premier Sylvia Lucas. In the previous administration, the ANC was the majority party with 11 seats, while the FSD was the official opposition three seats. The EFF had two and DA and FF+ had one each.
