Ward 53 Voter Turnout Surprisingly Low

Ward 53 Voter Turnout Surprisingly Low

Published 1 day, 8 hours ago
Description

Voter registration surged past 300,000 in a single weekend, setting the stage for November’s local elections—but one key ward, Seatides Combined School, saw shockingly low turnout. Only one voter, Shaun Singh, showed up, frustrated by persistent service failures like trash and power issues. Councillor Geoff Pullan blamed voter apathy and political gridlock, while ANC campaigners stayed optimistic, citing their track record on water and housing. With 28 million voters now on the rolls thanks to online tools, the race for change is heating up—especially in wards where the DA holds power.
