Local government elections are scheduled to take place on October 27, though Ramaphosa said the date, which he announced in April, “does not constitute a proclamation” under law.

The inquiry is expected to do three things: inquire into the conditions for free and fair elections; come up with findings following the inquiry; and issue a report in which recommendations are set out concerning the likelihood the IEC would be able to ensure the forthcoming elections will be free and fair.

As there is no determination of a postponement at this stage, no other date has been considered for the elections other than October 27 .“Let us allow the process he has been tasked to lead to take place. What in my view is most pleasing is that many of the things we do have checks and balances so if we ever make a mistake on anything, we are able to be checked so we can create the balance.”

Answering whether the panel was established to postpone the elections, Ramaphosa said government was not creating a sense of panic so the elections can be moved to a later stage. Ramaphosa said the IEC told government it needed a legal framework to comply with the constitutional prescripts to declare the elections would go ahead.

“Let us trust the process. Let us trust the prescripts of our constitution. If nothing else, the constitution is a shock-absorber that helps to balance whatever turbulence there may be. Let us trust the IEC to manage this process properly without any undue interference. Let us continue to trust Moseneke. He has been able to do good on a number of occasions, handling tricky issues that affect our country. He will continue to do so.
