CAPE TOWN - Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi said a team of experts had already started working on a new law to allow independent candidates to contest national elections.
Motsoaledi gave MPs an update on the amendments to electoral legislation while delivering his department’s budget vote speech on Wednesday.

Motsoaledi disappointed with polyandry debate, says it is not govt policy
