JOHANNESBURG – Police Minister Bheki Cele said that KwaZulu-Natal and the North West province have been identified as high-risk areas for this year's elections.
The minister also announced that over 51,000 police officers will be deployed to voting stations on election day, which is in just under a week. The minister said this is after threats to free and fair elections were made in these areas, with some communities planning to protest over various issues on election day.
Cele was briefing reporters in Pretoria on the security cluster's state of readiness ahead of next Wednesday’s polls.
