“We can have these elections with mechanisms like people of different age groups voting on different days, as they are doing with vaccination.” IEC localpolls elections
Pretoria – The Forum4ServiceDelivery said on Friday it has filed court papers in the Constitutional Court opposing the Electoral Commission of SA ’s bid to secure the postponement of the local government elections to early in 2021.
’’What the IEC should be doing is to put additional mechanisms , for example people voting where there is enough ventilation,” F4SD president Mbahare Kekana told African News Agency. The IEC last month accepted the recommendation of retired Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke that it would not be safe to hold the national local government elections in October in the wake of an increasing number of Covid-19 infections and deaths.
’’That commission was a makeshift of a commission. Why did they not institute that commission as early as January or last year in June so that we could discuss this matter for about six months and invite international experts? We could also invite those countries who have had elections under this pandemic,” said Kekana.“Right now, they know that the ANC is in tatters. The IEC has colluded with the ANC to delay the elections and that is why the ANC has filed papers to support the IEC.
