The Fezile Dabi Civic Movement (FDCM), under the leadership of His Royal Highness, President HRH Tibisi April Motaung II, extends its profound congratulations to the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) for executing an exceptionally successful national voter registration weekend ahead of the upcoming local government elections scheduled for 4 November.
The FDCM celebrates the monumental achievement of the IEC in recording more than 2.9 million voter registration transactions across the nation over the course of the weekend. This stellar turnout marks a magnificent leap from the 1.7 million transactions recorded during the matching registration period in 2021.
This milestone stands as an undeniable testament to the resilience, growth, and deep commitment of South Africans to our democratic processes.
His Royal Highness, President Tibisi April Motaung II, highly commends Chief Electoral Officer Sy Mamabolo and the entire IEC team for their forward-thinking technological advancements and structural upgrades.
These systems directly enabled this historic surge in registration numbers.
The Fezile Dabi Civic Movement is particularly inspired by the remarkable registration yield among young, first-time voters. The FDCM firmly believes that the future of local government relies entirely on the active voices and energy of the youth.
The success of this weekend strongly reaffirms our collective dedication to building accountable, community-driven governance.
As a dedicated champion for the progress of the people of the Fezile Dabi District, the FDCM pledges its continuous support to the IEC’s efforts.
The movement calls upon all registered citizens to maintain this powerful momentum as we march toward the 4 November local government elections.
