# The Johannesburg Metro Police Department reminds all political parties and independent candidates to remove election posters within 14 days after elections, as mandated by the 2009 Outdoor Advertising By-laws. Spokesperson Xolani Fihla says failure to comply will lead to removal by municipal teams and a 500-rand fine per poster. He says leftover campaign materials cause clutter, safety risks, and asset damage. He urged parties to take responsibility and clear their posters:
