Campaigning is gaining momentum in the Lichtenburg-based Ditsobotla Local Municipality in the North West, ahead of the much-anticipated by-elections in December.

The municipal council was disbanded in September amid political infighting and service delivery challenges. Leader of the Freedom Front Plus, Dr Pieter Groenewald, took his campaign to Lichtenburg and encouraged residents to vote.

Service delivery remains a key issue in the Ditsobotla Local Municipality, especially in Coligny which rarely has water or electricity and where the roads are undrivable. With the municipal council dissolved, political parties are promising change. Among them is the Freedom Front Plus which took its campaign to Lichtenburg on Saturday.“If you enter, for instance, Lichtenberg, suddenly, you are confronted with potholes.

“There are potholes. the roads are actually mud. and when you go to the municipality, all you see is bushes.” “There are problems with water. there are problems with power. the roads are in a terrible state. services are being disrupted frequently at the municipality itself.”
