He said the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs would follow the necessary legal procedure to proclaim the date and undertake any other requirements.
Zuma encouraged all South Africans who were eligible to vote‚ in particular the youth who would be voting for the first time‚ to register for the local elections this weekend.
“We urge all those who are eligible to vote register to vote and those who have not checked their names to do so on Saturday and Sunday this weekend so that together we continue to re-affirm and deepen our democracy‚” Zuma said.
The final registration is this weekend April 9 & 10.
