Cops must say if they’re probing politicians over double votes – ISS

Police would have to answer whether they would be investigating politicians who admitted to attempting to double vote during last week’s general elections, as they deliberately committed an offence, the Institute for Security Studies said.

Mpofu said he asked people to test the system and requested Democratic Alliance members to do the same thing in Soweto. A Congress of the People member of parliament, Lindsay Dentlinger, admitted to wiping off the indelible ink with Domestos bleach, and visited five voting stations where she was told she could vote.

National police commissioner General Khehla Sitole said they were first dealing with suspects who committed the offence.
