#Election2021: Court decision upholds our argument - ANC─── 07:28 Sat, 04 Sep 2021
The ANC says the Constitutional Court's decision not to postpone the election is in line with the issues raised by the party's application.
The apex court has directed the IEC to conduct a voter registration weekend.
The Constitutional Court has also ordered Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, to determine a date for local government polls between 27 October and 1 November.
In July, former deputy chief justice Dikgang Moseneke completed his report advising the IEC not to hold elections this year due to COVID-19, saying they would not be free and fair.
