DescriptionDurban - Following last month’s technical debacle that saw the ANC failing to register candidates for the local government elections in about 93 municipalities, the ruling party is this time around, getting its house in order.

One of the measures employed by the ruling party is centralising access to the portal of the Electoral Commission of South Africa (formerly IEC), where the registration of candidates is done.

This follows widespread allegations that some regions in KwaZulu-Natal deliberately missed the registration deadline to spite their opponents, which came as a result of faction fights within the ruling party.

Internally, the ruling party has instructed all nine provincial secretaries and provincial list committees to submit all candidates by Sunday, September 12, 2021.
