The Greater Taung Local Municipality urges all political parties that have placed election campaign posters in its jurisdiction to remove them or face hefty fines. The municipality said according to the municipal by-laws, all political parties are given 14 days after the date of elections to remove all their posters.
The GTLM spokesperson, Ricky Oliphant said failure to comply within the stipulated time frame may result in penalties. However, Oliphant said he is happy to see that most political parties have adhered to the municipal by-laws by removing their posters.
“We are happy to see that most political parties have removed their posters. I was smiling this morning when I came to work seeing that at least they are abiding by the rules.
“The municipality continues to encourage those who have not removed their posters to do so. Normally, if political parties do not remove their posters, the municipality will remove them, but there will be a price to pay for the affected political parties,” he said.
