He says they have been working to retain the votes the party has previously received.


Meanwhile, polling stations across the country will open between 8am and 5pm tomorrow and Sunday for the IEC's final voter registration drive.

The Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa is urging all citizens who are eligible to vote are on the voters' roll and that their details and addresses are reflected correctly.

South African citizens over the age of 16-years can register to vote, but only those over 18-years can participate in the elections.
