Four political parties are contesting a by-election in Bela-Bela Limpopo on Tuesday.
Ward 9 became vacant after a Democratic Alliance (DA) councillor resigned.
The parties include the DA, the African National Congress (ANC), the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the Congress of the People (COPE).
