City calling on political parties to remove election posters by 8 June 2024

05 June 2024

The City of Cape Town wants to remind political parties that all election posters and banners must be removed by midnight on Saturday, 8 June 2024.  The string or plastic used to attach the posters to streetlight poles must be removed as well. 

In general, election posters must be removed within 10 days after the election to avoid being penalised.

Posters that are not removed within this deadline will be removed by the City as of Monday, 10 June 2024, at the political party's cost at R134,10 per poster. The responsible political party will be billed.

The City kindly reminds political parties of the election poster removal rules that the administration shared with all in the run-up to the election. These are contained in the election rules document. Another reminder was sent on Friday, 31 May 2024.

To recover any of the unauthorised posters removed by the Municipality, parties will need to liaise, during office hours, with the City's Environmental Management Department officials to collect the posters.
