DURBAN - The Electoral Commission of South Africa said KwaZulu-Natal was the region which had given them the biggest headache during this year’s election.
The commission’s acting deputy chief executive, Mawethu Mosery, said special forces had been sent to the area and was confident that voting stations would be open in an hour, between 2-3pm. “Where we are now all voting stations except 4 in Ukhahlamba, are closed. Special forces have been deployed due to the protest that turned violent. We had to shut them down again,” she said.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker said six people had been arrested and charged with public violence. Five of those arrested were in the Bergville area, while one person was arrested in Ntuzuma, north of Durban. They were expected to appear in various courts tomorrow.
