5 voting stations in KZN, Eastern Cape still haven't opened IEC

IEC

The IEC's Masego Shiburi said, despite interventions by security agencies and the commission itself, two stations in the Eastern Cape and three in KwaZulu-Natal remained closed. The IEC has also had a challenge in Vuwani, Limpopo, where four stations had to temporarily close due to"community unrest". "The electoral commission is saddened by the lack of respect for democracy and the rights of others in these limited areas and once again calls on these communities to put the national interest of the country above narrow interest of the community at least for today," Shiburi said.

"We issued instructions to have more ballots distributed. There will not be any shortage of ballots."To counter any challenges related to a shortage, he said the IEC had printed 52 million ballots, more than the number of voters.
