24 June 2025- The Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) said public consultations on ward configurations will conclude on 30 June 2025. The board urges members of the public to submit their proposals on preferred ward boundaries by this deadline.
The acting Chairperson of the Board, Dr Matheakuena Mohale said the submission forms are available in all official languages and can be accessed on the MDB website: www.demarcation.org.za. Mohale said completed proposals must be emailed to registry@demarcation.org.za.
“No late submissions will be accepted. This marks the final stage of a nationwide three-month consultation process that began in April 2025.
“We have held successful public consultations despite challenges encountered. As the process concludes, we encourage all citizens to participate by submitting their proposals by 30 June 2025,” he said.
Mohale further said they thank the public and all key stakeholders for their involvement in this important and inclusive process, which forms part of preparations for free and fair local government elections. He added that, after reviewing all submissions, the MDB will publish a second draft set of wards in Provincial Gazettes.
“At that stage, members of the public will have 14 days from the publication date in their respective provincial gazettes to submit objections. This phase is scheduled to take place in July/August 2025,” said Mohale.
