DA taking 'deep concerns' about integrity of special voting to IEC

DURBAN - Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane says his party is concerned about the integrity of the elections.

“Already we receive intelligence about how there’ve been some manipulations, even on what type of ink has been used. We’ve had some deep concerns about how special votes have been conducted, in fact, we raised the same issues on 6 May at the IEC," said Maimane.He admitted he had to return to KwaZulu-Natal on the eve of the elections to give the DA one more push in the highly contested province.

Maimane said voters had the power to change the country’s political direction on 8 May, but only if they used their vote correctly. The DA leader proposed a deal to voters, saying if the party was elected into government, it would put an end to corruption, grow the economy to create millions of jobs, reduce the Cabinet by half, and uphold the rule of law, among other promises.NN@nthakoana pic.twitter.com/Evnj97UIAJ#MaimaneKZN @MmusiMaimane says @MYANC has destroyed sugar cane industry and destroyed jobs in KZN, and wants young people to be pensioners— EWN Reporter May 7, 2019 Additional reporting by Thapelo Lekabe.
