Speaking after a press briefing at the Western Cape provincial results operation centre provincial electoral officer Courtney Sampson said he was told by electoral officers at the scene that the incident in which voters were apparently separated into two different lines according to race was not racist at all.
During this morning’s national voting day excitement, many took to social media to share their voting day experiences, good and bad. Among one of the more prominent incidents was various videos coming from a voting station in Wellington in the Western Cape where voters were allegedly separated into lines according to race.
Voters at the scene alleged that white voters were even being given preference over black voters so that they could vote first.
The logic here does not make sense... how is it that whites and blacks had different problems ?
That was racist
Bull 😠 😠
Mayday Mayday! Lesufi come in. Someone needs to be fired or boycotted. There can't be a logical reason for this.
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.
This is an excuse to blatant racism, how come only black people or white people do the same thing? This is rubbish
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?
