File: Workers wanted to down tools over salaries among other matters on Wednesday when the election is planned to take place.JOHANNESBURG - The Independent Electoral Commission has responded to claims of a racial incident involving "different queues for blacks and whites" at a Western Cape polling station.
"The other line of voters was registered at that particular voting station and therefore would be more practical to vote, as the students in the queue would have retarded there opportunity to vote fluidly", read the statement.
Hellen Zille is proud of this and the DA wants the whole South Africa to experience the same, Western Cape is the home of DA & racists.
Queuing in different races is coincidental but having white children at a table and black children separate isn’t?

One queue ‘for whites’, another ‘for blacks’ in Wellington was not racist, says IECCourtney Sampson says officials separated voters according to their registration status and not their race. So who was complaining? The blacks about the white queue or the whites about the black queue? So then who is being racist? The people in the queue or the people allocating the queues? This is an excuse to blatant racism, how come only black people or white people do the same thing? This is rubbish How long are you going to protect racism guys, just how long and how far are you going to sustain it. This is utter nonsense and a disgrace .Tomorrow the very same Iec will complain that Blf or Eff are racist, forgetting that they are the main perpetrators.
