DURBAN- Prior to voter registration weekend, the KwaZulu-Natal ( KZN ) government urged political parties to promote peace and harmony.
On Saturday and Sunday, thousands of South Africans are anticipated to visit polling places to cast ballots in the 2024 elections.
The provincial government announced on Friday that some areas have been classified as high-risk.
Political intolerance is common in Inanda, KwaMashu, and Umlazi, but the regions are also known for a number of crimes.
From this weekend until the results of the elections, the KZN government wants to see political tolerance.
To make sure that no polls were disrupted, the Departments of Community Safety and Police contacted a number of party representatives.
Registration will be accepted at almost 5,000 polling places.
