SAElections2019: A shaky start - Misunderstanding leaves Soweto voters unable to cast ballots
Khuthala Primary School in Soweto was one of the stations opened for special voting on Monday.When voting started, some voters could not make their mark because of a misunderstanding over whether Monday’s vote was for home visits and if walk-ins were allowed.“They were not available to make us vote here.
They said they don’t accept walk-ins which we found very strange because we understand that special votes are about those at home and it’s also about the voting station. So, I anticipated to come and vote earlier and was told they are not doing that.”“I really wanted to vote. I’m in pain now, I have a sore leg, but I still came to vote,” said a disappointed resident.
