The Independent Electoral Commission and Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) have joined hands with major social media platforms to fight the spread of disinformation.

The partnership will start in the run up to, during and beyond the November 1, municipal elections.

The commission and MMA, who in 2019 launched a joint action to deal with disinformation, have reached an agreement with Google, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok to work in support of our efforts to end the scourge of disinformation on Tuesday.
