- The Constitutional Court ordered the IEC to include 181 ANC candidates across six municipalities on the ballots.
- The IEC said 32 similarly affected parties should also be included, while 13 parties failed to meet additional requirements.
- About 33 million ballots are needed for the expansion; 6.6 million of them had not yet been printed.
- The IEC plans to contact the 32 parties and, if they confirm participation, allow candidate names to be added or replaced.
Consistent with the constitutional imperative for free and fair elections as well as the importance of upholding the inherent principle of parity of treatment, the commission has resolved that the 32 similarly situated parties must be deemed to have lawfully submitted their candidates.— Said by IEC chair Mosotho Moepya at the IEC's Centurion headquarters, addressing the media, Friday.

- An independent FA commission imposed a six-week ban from all football activity but suspended it until the end of next season.
- Eckert received a £28,000 fine and reprimand; involvement in further spying before the end of next season would trigger the ban.
- Southampton were expelled from the Championship play-offs in May and given a four-point deduction this season after admitting the spying.
- Southampton welcomed the ruling, while owner Dragan Solak said the suspended sentence allows Eckert to remain in charge.
I firmly believe that Tonda is one of Europe's most exciting young coaches, and with this distraction removed, I am confident he can lead the team to a successful season.— Dragan Solak, Saints owner, said in a statement about Eckert's situation and the manager's future.
