During their media briefing update, the IEC said the ballot box contained ballots that had already been counted and had been reduced to a result.
“Citizens are reminded that anyone found to be in possession of ballots is liable to criminal prosecution.” The ANC’s potential loss of majority in Gauteng and in KwaZulu-Natal to the former President Jacob Zuma’s uMkhonto we Sizwe is also at risk. In 1994, the ANC won 62.5 percent of the vote. In 1999, it won 66.4 percent and in 2004, it reached its highest levels, clinching almost 70 percent of the vote.
