Johannesburg - The ANC and DA sent out big guns to lobby support for their parties contesting the four vacant seats in the City of Joburg following the mass resignation of former DA councillors in the city.
The ANC is preparing to increase its majority in the City of Joburg while the DA is hoping to retain its seats in all four wards.
One of the former DA councillors, Sarah Wissler in ward 23, defected to Action SA – a party founded by former DA mayor Herman Mashaba.

Johannesburg - The battle between the DA and the ANC to control certain municipal wards across the country or retain power is heating up as candidates keep a close eye on the proceedings of Wednesday’s by-elections.
About 40 by-elections are taking place around South Africa.
In Gauteng, the City of Joburg, the City of Ekurhuleni and the City of Tshwane are hotly contested as many wards are vacant due to various reasons.
Ward 18 in Eldorado Park and ward 17 in Klipspruit are under DA control but are being challenged by the ANC and the Patriotic Alliance (PA).
