The ANC councillor and a few members of the party were driving in a small white van, branded with the party logo, and stopped alongside the road to tap into the conversation between OFM News and residents.

During the discussion, two elderly women complained to the reporters about the lack of service delivery. The women then requested that the councillor and ward committee members give them the party T-shirts they were wearing. The councillor seemed reluctant to do so.

He, however, gives in and takes off his T-shirt. He asks one of the members to also hand over his T-shirt. It is at this moment when the group get irritated and stop reporters from taking the video.

The councillor, in his blue jeans and T-shirt with president Cyril Ramphosa's face on the front, wearing a black and white jersey, was initially not prepared to adhere to the request by these women.

The police visited the area earlier during the visit of the police commissioner, Kehla Sitole, to asses the state of readiness before the election tomorrow after the province was declared as a hotspot, alongside KwaZulu-Natal.

Over 50 new police vehicles have been handed over on Tuesday by Sitole during a parade in Mahikeng. He was flanked by the MEC for Community Safety in the province, Mpho Motlhabane, and the Independent Electoral Commission's (IEC) provincial manager, Tumelontle Thiba, amongst others.

Sitole announced that 5 000 police officers have been deployed to these hotspot areas in North West, with 56 000 deployed countrywide.
