IEC officials discovered that the number of ballot papers did not tally with the total recorded in Waverley, Pretoria.
Yesterday, the same officials in Waverley embarked on a protest for at least 30 minutes by closing the voting stations and not allowing people to vote.
“Food was only delivered at 7pm, and it was one meal, and not two as per the initial agreement with the officials during training. Some of the staff were hungry and feeling dizzy and we had to close the stations from 6.30pm to 7pm,” one official said.The staff said contracts were brought to them in the evening, and they just signed them, but they could not read them properly.
