南非选举委员会11月13日在比勒陀利亚宣布,已在政府公报上公布2026年地方政府选举当选市议员名单,各地市政经理须在议员宣布当选后14天内召集市议会首次会议;同日,总统府妇女、青年与残障人士部长 Sindisiwe Chikunga 欢迎财政部在中期预算政策声明中承诺的51亿兰特一揽子资金,用于加强南非对性别暴力与杀害女性行为的应对,代理警察部长 Firoz Cachalia 谴责夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省一名警局局长在处置抢劫案时殉职的事件。
选举委员会主席 Mosotho Moepya 说,当选名单于11月13日公布后,各市可以着手规划市议会首次会议,当选议员视为自11月8日选举结果公布之日起当选。本届选举共有10,526个席位,其中地方议会8,825席(选区席位4,485席、比例代表席位4,340席),地区议会1,701席(707席直选、994席由地方议会代表选出)。当选议员中女性占33.6%,平均年龄47.3岁,35岁以下者占10.8%。委员会迄今收到1,708份提交材料,其中433份属于法定异议,252份已办结,3份获支持、249份被驳回。全国还将安排5场选区补选,4场选区 contest 因候选人得票相同以抽签决定;北开普省 Siyancuma 市第3选区一个投票区将重选,特别投票定于11月17日、正式投票11月18日,该市名单待重选后再公布。
Chikunga 在与性别平等委员会就国家性别暴力战略计划第三支柱(司法、安全与保护)举行战略沟通时说,51亿兰特资金中,38亿兰特将在中期內用于在各省招聘3,552名社会工作者,支持预防、早期干预、心理社会支持与受害者赋能项目;另有1.86亿兰特提升法医与侦查能力,性犯罪法庭将从55个增至101个,Thuthuzela 关怀中心到2028/29年度从72个增至80个,妇女、青年与残障人士部获1.574亿兰特加强统筹与监督。她同时指出,国家战略计划与性别暴力灾害管理计划长期属于无经费授权事项,限制了部门履职能力;2026年「16日行动」主题为全社会共同终结性别暴力与杀害女性。政府同日承认司法系统在性别暴力应对上仍有缺口。
警务方面,代理警察部长 Cachalia 强烈谴责夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省 Greytown 警局局长殉职事件:这名南非警察局中校11月12日在带队处置一起商业抢劫时中枪身亡,抢劫中一名店主受伤、员工遭殴打,交火中另有一名警长受伤送医。Cachalia 称这是对一名履行护民与执法职责的警员无意义而懦弱的袭击,并肯定追捕嫌疑人的警员以及警方与私人安保的协作。
区域与地方事务方面,合作治理与传统事务部长 Velenkosini Hlabisa 11月12日在南部非洲发展共同体灾害风险管理部长委员会第7次例会上呼吁全面启用南共体人道与应急行动中心,使其成为区域灾害监测、预警、备灾协调与援助动员的锚点,并敦促尽快按路线图完成该中心执行主任的招聘、各缔约方履行摊款义务。他说,首次南共体区域气旋与洪水应对模拟演练已证明预先测试区域系统的价值。南非政府同日重申其在世界上倡导对话的立场,总统 Cyril Ramaphosa 表示,南非将继续倡导对话、和平解决争端、保护平民与尊重人权。此外,两名涉嫌违规签发驾驶执照的嫌疑人被捕;eThekwini 市政经理 Musa Mbhele 强调以基础设施建设维持就业增长;纳尔逊·曼德拉湾市已加强夏季成年礼季节的安全筹备。南非政府新闻署下午版还刊载了地方选举投票意义、基层服务交付与粮食安全三篇特稿。

South Africa Gazettes 10,526 Elected Councillors as Councils Face 14-Day Deadline for First Sittings; R5.1 Billion Package Strengthens GBVF Response
The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) announced in Pretoria on November 13 that it has gazetted the names of councillors elected in the 2026 Local Government Elections, and that municipal managers must convene the first meeting of their councils within 14 days after councillors are declared elected. On the same day, Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities Sindisiwe Chikunga welcomed a R5.1 billion funding package, announced in the Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement, to strengthen South Africa's response to gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF), and Acting Minister of Police Firoz Cachalia condemned the killing of a station commander in KwaZulu-Natal who was shot while responding to a business robbery.
IEC Chairperson Mosotho Moepya said the publication of the list on November 13 will enable planning for the inaugural sittings of municipal councils, and that councillors are deemed to have been elected with effect from November 8, 2026, the date the election results were announced. There are 10,526 seats across the 2026 elections, comprising 8,825 local council seats (4,485 ward seats and 4,340 proportional representation seats) and 1,701 district council seats, of which 707 are directly elected and 994 will be filled by representatives elected from local councils. Women make up 33.6 percent of declared councillors, the average age is 47.3 years, and councillors under 35 account for 10.8 percent. By noon on Friday the Commission had received 1,708 submissions, of which 433 qualified as statutory objections; 252 had been finalised, with three upheld and 249 rejected. Five ward by-elections will be scheduled, four ward contests were decided by lot after tied votes, and the gazetted list excludes Siyancuma Municipality in the Northern Cape, where a revote in a voting district in Ward 3 is scheduled with special voting on November 17 and voting on November 18.
Speaking at a strategic engagement with the Commission for Gender Equality on Pillar 3 of the National Strategic Plan on GBVF, which focuses on justice, safety and protection, Chikunga said R3.8 billion of the package will be allocated over the medium term to recruit 3,552 social workers across the provinces to support GBVF prevention, early intervention, psychosocial support and victim empowerment programmes. The broader R5.1 billion package also includes R186 million to enhance forensic and investigative capacity, the expansion of sexual offences courts from 55 to 101, an increase in Thuthuzela Care Centres from 72 to 80 by 2028/29, and R157.4 million for the Department of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities to strengthen coordination and oversight. She noted that both the national strategic plan and the GBVF disaster management plans remain unfunded mandates that limit the department's capacity, and that the theme of the 2026 16 Days of Activism campaign is men, women, boys and girls working together to end GBVF. The government also acknowledged gaps in the justice system's GBVF response on the same day.
Acting Minister of Police Firoz Cachalia strongly condemned the killing of the Greytown station commander in KwaZulu-Natal. The South African Police Service Lieutenant Colonel was shot on Thursday, November 12, while personally leading members responding to a business robbery in which a business owner was shot and injured and employees were assaulted; a sergeant was also shot and injured and is receiving medical attention. Cachalia described the killing as a senseless and cowardly attack on an officer carrying out her constitutional responsibility to protect communities and uphold the law, and commended the members who pursued the suspects and the collaboration between the police and private security.
Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa, who chairs the SADC Committee of Ministers Responsible for Disaster Risk Management, told the committee's seventh ordinary meeting on November 12 that the SADC Humanitarian and Emergency Operations Centre should be fully operationalised as a regional anchor for disaster monitoring, early warning, preparedness coordination and the mobilisation of assistance, and called for the recruitment of the centre's Executive Director to be concluded under the approved roadmap and for State Parties to fulfil their assessed contributions. He said the first SADC Regional Cyclone and Flood Response Simulation Exercise had demonstrated the value of testing regional systems before disasters strike. South Africa also reaffirmed its stance on championing dialogue in the world, with President Cyril Ramaphosa saying the country will continue to champion dialogue, the peaceful resolution of disputes, the protection of civilians and respect for human rights. In other items, two suspects were arrested for allegedly unlawfully issuing driver's licences, eThekwini City Manager Musa Mbhele emphasised infrastructure investment to sustain employment growth, and Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality stepped up preparations for a safe summer initiation season. The afternoon edition also carried features on why every vote matters in local government elections, service delivery, and food security.
