This followed a marathon two-day meeting between the IEC and Nehawu that tried to resolve the matter.
A last-minute agreement prevented an imminent strike by employees of the Electoral Commission of South Africa that could have brought tomorrow’s elections to a complete halt.
Both IEC spokesperson Mawetu Mosery and Nehawu national spokesperson Khaya Xaba confirmed that an agreement has been reached and that the elections would go ahead on Wednesday without any disturbances. Late this afternoon, both parties emerged from the IEC results centre office fatigued, but with smiles on their faces, clearly indicating that they had found each other.
