Ballot boxes found in Limpopo, IEC investigating - Mashinini | lizTandwa
Just a few hours into the first day of special voting, the Electoral Commission of South Africa has been hit with its first challenge as ballot boxes were found on the streets of Tzaneen, Limpopo.
"If those boxes are in any way our boxes, it will be regrettable and the matter will be attended to accordingly with whoever the officer is, but at this stage our understanding is that it is not ballot papers, it is ballot boxes that were destined to a destination. How they got on the ground, we are not yet sure, but we will be providing a report on that."
Responding to questions regarding the dispute, Mashinini, who was casting his special vote in Dainfern, Johannesburg, said Mamabolo was in discussion with unions on the matter."The laws are very clear. As far as the elections are concerned, certain conducts are prohibited irrespective of whether a person is a worker or otherwise. There was a request to meet with the CEO and he has met with the unions. He has reported back and he is in engagement with them.
