eThekwini Municipality, through its General Advertising Branch, has begun removing election campaign materials from street power poles and other municipal infrastructure.
Political parties were obligated to take down election posters within 30 days of the election date.
Starting from July 2024, signage inspectors have been actively removing these posters and will impose fines on political parties once the process is complete, said eThekwini Municipalitys spokesperson, Gugu Sisilana.
Political parties and independent candidates were permitted to display a maximum of 800 posters per ward.
Council said it will impose a fine of R1,193.00 every poster removed by the General Advertising Branch.
