Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has insisted there was enough money for the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) to hold the elections on November 1.

“Yes. The funding for the local government elections has been provided for and is included in the baseline of the Electoral Commission. The procurement of the election devices is also funded and included in the baseline. The baseline for the IEC for 2021/22, including the operational expenditure of the commission, is R2.2 billion,” Mboweni had said.

But the apex court threw out the IEC’s application to extend the elections from October to February next year.This is the time in which the term of the current councils is due to expire. The IEC said it must use every available opportunity to prepare for the elections and decided on November 1 as the date that South Africans must go to the polls.
