HlaudiMotsoeneng 'Just look at the video of the voter who was drunk - and the IEC staff were taking a video and making it a joke. So you can just see that everything was loose on the part of the IEC.'
Ramuada said the small parties would meet in Johannesburg this week to consolidate their grievances and launch the court action. He said it was not a case of sour grapes, but rather an attempt to ensure"that democracy is not compromised because the trust of the IEC has been broken".
"We are not fighting because we want seats in parliament, but we want a parliament that reflects the will of the people," said Ramuada. "As the parties we have noted how the IEC robbed us in these elections because they realised that we did not have party agents in some of the voting stations. "The IEC is not special. People must not think that the IEC is immune [to] making errors, because it is run by human beings. We must fix the IEC because it is our IEC. We do not want it to be captured by people who have their own agenda."
The African Transformation Movement and the Socialist Revolutionary Workers' Party have pulled out of the group of disgruntled small parties.
