To build on this momentum, the Commission has opened another opportunity for eligible citizens to register or update their details at voting stations on 1 and 2 August. In a further move to improve access, the Commission also confirmed that its Online Voter Registration Portal has now been zero-rated. This means South Africans can register, update their information and check their voter status without using mobile data.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he will resign but remain in place as prime minister until a new Labour leader has been selected. Starmer's departure will pave the way for Britain's seventh leader in a decade.
