IEC intent on announcing final results on Saturday

The Electoral Commission of South Africa says it will not hold the country back and remains intent on announcing the results of the sixth democratic election on Saturday.

In one case in Hluhluwe in northern Kwazulu-Natal, two brothers — whose thumb voter marks were clearly visible to IEC staff — insisted on voting a second time, saying they wanted a voters mark on the other hand. Police were called and the pair were arrested before being able to cast their second ballot, Masemola said.

It is understood that all parties are set to meet with the IEC on Saturday, where the office of the statistician-general is expected to take them through a presentation of the findings of its investigation.
