Mamabolo was speaking at the launch of the IEC’s National Results Operation Centre at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand yesterday. “It is with great honour that we welcome a record-breaking 160 organisations, collectively deploying over 5 000 observers from around the world, to witness and validate the integrity of our electoral process,” said Mamabolo.

“A total of 56 800 votes were cast at 111 foreign missions around the world.
