This comes after a vehicle transporting ballots got stuck without fuel this morning.


The streets of Ikageng & Potchefstroom are alive this morning with residents making their way to work and some cleaning the streets. 


Many are eagerly waiting to learn who their new municipal officials will be with the counting process that has proven to be slow in Tlokwe.


The ANC is currently leading with a big majority of over 70%, but most of the votes in favour of the governing party is coming from the newly added Ventersdorp, which opposition parties previously said was a political ploy to ensure the ANC's majority.
