The by-elections would have been the last ahead of the scheduled 27 October local government elections.
A by-election is under way at ward 18 of the Mandeni Municipality on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast.
This after an African National Congress (ANC) ward councillor Phendukani Mabhida was gunned down at his home in February this year.
His 42-year-old relative was wounded in the attack.
The ANC, uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP), Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) and Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) are contesting the by-election.
