In the small west coast town of Lambert’s Bay, music blared from trucks as politicians clamoured for support from residents in a hotly contested by-election where not only the ward is at stake, but also the governance of the local municipality.

In the Cederberg municipality, a by-election about to take place has attracted bigwigs such as Helen Zille (DA), Gwede Mantashe (ANC) and Gayton McKenzie (PA). This by-election will cement a victory for coalitions fighting for control of the municipality.
