Vuwani residents attend soccer tournament on Election Day

Residents here protested against the Municipal Demarcation Board's decision to incorporate them, along with Malamulele, in a new stand-alone municipality.

Chief Livhuwani Matsila from Ha-Matsila village in Vuwani said they've had about 21 people at a voting station where over 1000 registered voters were expected.

Community members, who decided not to vote, have gathered in the area for a local soccer tournament.

Residents said they would rather attend the soccer match in silent protest rather than voting for a municipality they do not want to be part of.
