International observers praise IEC, but ANC & DA in WC not happy

CAPE TOWN - The Independent Electoral Commission in the Western Cape is dealing with an avalanche of complaints, lodged mainly by the Democratic Alliance and the African National Congress , over the unavailability of ballot papers at a number of polling stations, with both parties claiming this has cost them votes.

Western Cape campaign manager David Maynier said the party’s lodged more than 700 complaints with the IEC. Sampson has apologized and said by law, ballot papers have to be transported under police escort, which led to delays. He expected the wintry weather to dampen turnout.Despite the criticism, international election observers have praised the commission in the Western Cape for what they've described as a smooth operation.

International observers only come to the country to enjoy South African beef and the good wine. How can they praise the IEC when some voting stations had no ballot papers. When some people voted more than once? They must go to hell man. The ANC controlled IEC messed up.

Perception is that the IEC was not fully prepared for this elections
