By-elections: Seven Wards contested in KZN
The Electoral Commission in KwaZulu-Natal says it's full steam ahead for this week's by-elections.
Over 145 candidates from 29 political parties are set to contest 40 wards across South Africa on Wednesday.
More than 362 000 people are registered to cast ballots.

Ntombifuthi Masinga of the IEC in KZN says they're filling vacancies they couldn't fill last month.
Seven of the wards being contested are in KZN and include Durban's ward 110 in Mount Moriah - where there were fears of registration fraud earlier this year.
"One person came in with a bag of IDs to check on behalf of voters that couldn't come to the voting station.
"That matter was investigated and we are quite comfortable with the explanation that we were given - that this person had brought in these IDs to check if those people were on the voters' roll, which is not different from you checking on our website."
The IEC will hold special votes on Tuesday for those who can't make it to voting stations.
