Non-governmental organisation, My Vote Counts has written to political parties asking that they outline their plans for coalition negotiations before the local government elections on November the 4th. They argue that voters should have this information before casting their ballot. Meanwhile, Africa Check, another non-governmental organisation says after it has extensively followed political party election manifestos, voters could easily swift through the rhetoric and formulate a strong understanding of these manifestos. Political analyst from the University of the Free State, Professor Sethulego Matebisi however has called on the electorate to take up the responsibility of fixing the country's challenges.
