In a statement shared on Thursday morning, 5 November, Nasiphi said she had seen the initial election results and was encouraged by what she had seen. However, she cautioned that it was still too early to draw conclusions, noting that votes were still being counted.

“I have seen the initial election results this morning, and while I am encouraged, it is still very early. Counting continues, and we must allow the IEC to complete its work,” she said.

Says she remains Tshwane Executive Mayor

While awaiting the official election results, Nasiphi emphasised that she remains the Executive Mayor of Tshwane until the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) formally declares the outcome.

She added that her responsibilities to residents would continue during the counting process.

“In the meantime, until the IEC officially declares the results, I remain the Executive Mayor of Tshwane, and my responsibility to the residents of our capital continues,” she said.

Returns to Bronkhorstspruit over water challenges

Away from the election developments, Nasiphi said she would return to Bronkhorstspruit on Thursday to monitor progress on the rehabilitation of the area’s water treatment works.

The visit will also focus on efforts to restore access to safe drinking water for affected residents.

“Whatever the election outcome, my commitment to serving the people of Tshwane remains,” she said.

The IEC is expected to complete the counting and verification process before officially declaring the election results. Until then, the final outcome remains pending.
