A new system that will force motorists to pay at least R15 an hour to park their vehicles in the Mthatha CBD could be up and running before the end of May.

When the country goes to the voting booth on May 29 for the national and provincial government elections, the Eastern Cape will have six leaders vying to be SA’s next president. The approved ballot paper for the National Assembly shows that six men from the province will be leading their parties as presidential candidates.
