INTERVIEW: Several opposition parties are going to court to try stop the Independent Electoral Commission’s decision to reopen the candidate registration process ahead of the local government elections.

The move follows a Constitutional Court judgment for the municipal elections to go ahead between the 27 October and 1 November. Voter registration will take place on 18 and 19 September.

We’re joined on the line by the Commission’s Deputy Chief Electoral Officer Masego Sheburi.
