Home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi has tabled a bill which may see independent candidates contest the 2024 provincial and national elections for the first time in SA history.
Motsoaledi established a ministerial advisory committee after the judgment to develop policy options on the electoral system that addressed the defects of the act. In June he received a report providing feedback.
The majority report entails combining the first-past-the-post and proportional representation, making it a MMP system resembling the existing local government electoral system, albeit with some improvements. MPs hailed the comprehensive report and said it was evident hard work had gone into it. Some expressed concern about the seemingly short time frames.
