There was n’t much activity at the voting location for the Vuwani municipal building on Sunday morning.
Residents of Vuwani have experienced severe water supply problems for years, and some are waiting for the government to address the demarcation problems that led to violent protests between the local government in 2016 and the general election in 2019.
Some residents of Vuwani told Eyewitness News that they are sick of having to constantly express their displeasure in public.
In the past, there have been protests that have resulted in school fires.
Residents claimed that their only request is to be served by the Makhado local government rather than Collins Chabane, who currently serves them.
