Ramaphosa urges South Africans to register to vote
President Cyril Ramaphosa is urging all South Africans to register to vote.
Ramaphosa made the comment while on one of his morning walks in Soweto earlier.
He says it is important that all eligible citizens are on the voters' roll and that their details are correct.
"We will be going door-to-door asking our people to vote, asking our people to go and register because the next elections are going to be very important. Right now, it doesn't matter which party you belong to as long as you register to vote," he said.
The IEC is running a voter registration drive this weekend.
