Modise said on the day of elections, the SANDF members are on standby to be deployed in support of the police and the IEC should the need arise.

“This plan will ensure that there is sufficient police visibility in and around the voting stations around the country to prevent crime or intimidation of voters and other role players.”Furthermore, police will be deployed at the provincial results centres to ensure the integrity of the finalisation of the results, she said.

Modise said SANDF members are on standby to be deployed in support of the police and the IEC should the need arise. Their key responsibility would be protecting national key points and other strategic installations, she said. The security threat assessment was conducted in all voting districts and resulted in the categorisation of each voting station into high, medium and low risk and the police will deploy accordingly.
