The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) is planning to announce the local government elections 2026 results at 6pm this evening.
The Commission's Chairperson, Mosotho Moepya, also confirmed that 197 objections had been received.
Out of these, 54 were dismissed, eight were withdrawn, while two have been upheld.
Recounts have been ordered for 5 wards in the Tshwane Metro, Mangaung Metro, Thaba Chweu Local Municipality and Breede Valley Local Municipality.
To unpack what this means for service delivery, we are joined by Dr Shadi Maganoe, Senior Lecturer at the Wits School of Law.
We are also joined by Sophie Mokoena, SABC News' Specialist Correspondent.
