Limpopo

Let's go to Alpha Ramshwana now.

That's our reporter who's live to us from Limpopo.

We're in Pulukwani in Seshiru.

That's the hometown of Julius Malema.

I mean, he's engaged a number of elderly women who raised him in this very same township and asking them, of course, to support a party of their choice, which for him would be the ESF.

So really it's been a lively morning in various parts of Seychelles.

And what are we looking at in terms of maybe historically what the numbers looked at there in that part of Limpopo? Are there more people who voted for the ANC? Are there more people voted for the EFF? I mean, that's still sort of a strong ANC stronghold, but that's also the hometown of the EFF leader.

What have we seen in the last elections?

And back home, it's going to be a voting day with thunderbolts and lightning in various parts of our country.

There are warnings for severe thunderstorms over central Mpumalanga as well as parts of Limpopo.

The South African Weather Service forecast, the precious Mubasu, says it will also be hot over parts of Hating, Limpopo and the northwest.

Residents in affected areas are urged to exercise caution and remain alert to the changing weather conditions.

I'm Ghada D'Souza.

The DA's mayoral candidate, Helen Zillers, at the Marenja Primary School in Randberg, where she will vote.

In Limpopo, EFF leader Julius Malema voted in Secheja Zone 1 during the past hour.

A reporter there, Tabisa Machaka, spoke to a voter who was in the queue.

Yeah, I think my vote will make change in my place because my place is still in informal settlement.

Miaba says more than 1.4 million people managed to cast their votes during the two days.

Then we move to Limpopo where two people have been arrested on day one yesterday.

One suspect was arrested for allegedly unlawfully removing election placards in Mount Kwing while another was taken into custody for alleged assault and intimidation.

The Limpopo police spokesperson Mashaba Chulani says the first suspect is set to appear in the Sekukune District Court on the 30th of November.

Then we head to KwaZulu-Natal.

The MK party's leadership visited the family homestead of one of their members who was killed last night.

More than 780,000 special votes were cast yesterday and the Electoral Commission expects the majority of these special votes to enter the system today.

Meanwhile, in Limpopo, two suspects have been arrested in connection with election-related offences yesterday.

Limpopo Police spokesperson Cleolani Mashaba says one of the suspects allegedly removed election posters with the incident captured on video.

The removal of election posters is unlawful.

In a separate incident, Another male suspect was arrested in Skokone district in connection with an assault and intimidation case.

Before I even started shooting.

I landed in Limpopo province, did a little, did a little safari.

And then showed up and it was like day two or three.

I'm like, is it, is it cold? They're like, it's 110 degrees.

And that's a risk.

Same thing with a full episode in Mozambique.

We filmed that in South Africa in Limpopo Province, which is in the northeastern part of that country.

And so those are pretty close to the book.

So it is concerning.

We're particularly concerned about jobs in the agricultural sector, especially in the Western Cape, Limpopo, Northern Cape, where a lot of the citrus farmers and other farmers export to the US.

We're also concerned about job losses and we've seen some already over the past year and a half because of the fluctuation of tariffs from the US.

We've seen job losses in Jewelry companies in Cape Town, in agricultural sectors of the Western Cape.
