Johannesburg - Political parties are gearing-up for the first registration weekend ahead of next year's national elections.
Party leaders from all political parties will criss-cross the country on Saturday and Sunday trying to convince the public to register to vote.
The registration campaigns have been largely focused on luring young people to registration venues – especially those who will be turning 18 years old before the election.
The ANC has deployed its top six across the big provinces to embark on door-to-door campaigning.
ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa will be in Soweto on Saturday starting with his popular morning walk. He will then embark on blitz and walkabout visiting voteing registration centres in the area.

DA leader Mmusi Maimane will be in Gauteng campaigning in Soweto and Morningside. He will also be in Port Elizabeth with Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Athol Trolip.
