Over 1,000 additional police have been deployed to the province to ensure the safety of voters.
KwaZulu-Natal, identified by police as a hotspot for the country’s general election on Wednesday, was relatively calm on Tuesday, despite protests to the north of Durban.
The protests started a week earlier, with striking employees allegedly cutting water supplies, leaving several areas running dry for days. This, in turn, prompted sporadic strikes in other parts of the metro as residents demanded a resumption of water supplies. The cluster had drawn-up a comprehensive master plan to ensure peace and stability during the election, said Kaunda.
