“The commission would like to call upon all leaders of political parties to act and speak responsibly as the result collation process unfolds. As you will recall, the commission had anticipated the prospect of a lower voter turnout in July and approached the Constitutional Court. Nonetheless, the commission implemented an extensive education and communication campaign to ensure voters turned out to vote.
It also attributed the low turnout to factors outside the purview of the commission, including disruptions to services and lack of trust in political institutions. Despite the attacks, the commission said it estimated that 90% of the results would be finalised by Tuesday evening. The balance would take another 24-hours to complete and the final results are expected to be released on Thursday.

There are individuals who have lost confidence in the IEC, saying why should they vote, because the IEC is in favor of the ANC, they don't want to waste their time!
Except that the IEC firmly believed elections were going to be next year, so they were far from prepared!
IEC turned election day into a long weekend. People went on vacation as opposed to go and vote. Election day is supposed to be held on a Wednesday, and not Monday or Friday.
It's system was too slow people were turning back
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 how do you blame IEC? It’s political party’s responsibility to attract voters 🤷🏼♂️
