In a recorded message to the nation on Sunday, Ramaphosa says the results of the elections can bring change to municipalities in the country.

He has reassured apathetic voters that each vote counts.

“I call on each and every South African who is registered to vote to go out and vote for the candidate and the party of your choice. Your vote counts. Every single vote counts. With your vote, you are building a better South Africa. A South Africa with strong, well-run and effective municipalities that can improve the life of every citizen. Local government elections are about the issues most to all of us; housing, electricity, water, sanitation and decent roads,” says Ramaphosa.
