Bloemfontein - The ANC has retained Ward 39 in Thaba Nchu in the municipal by-election held yesterday.
The Mangaung Metro ward was hotly contested after it became vacant due to the death of ANC councillor, Tankiso Moea, last year.
Nozenza Cezula will take over as the new councillor after the ANC received 45.29% of the 5 379 votes casted.
Voter turnout declined by 2% as 51.64% of the registered voters took to the polls at the ten voting stations in the area compared to the 2016 Municipal Elections.
The DA received the second most votes with 26.08%. Independent candidate, Itumeleng McDonald Mosala, received the third most votes with 16.95%.
