Over 44 000 spoilt votes in KZN | IOL News

Durban - The number of spoilt of votes in KZN have dramatically increased to 44 246, a figure that is bigger than the number of voters who voted for the Minority Front, African Transformation Movement and African Christian Democratic Party combined.

According to the results posted by 2:20pm on Friday by the Independent Electoral Commission, 200 715 votes were spoilt at the national level. In the Eastern Cape, 26 065 votes were spoilt, Free State had 8 986, Gauteng had 23 648 and 14 063 votes were spoilt in Limpopo. In Mpumalanga, there were 16 975 while in North West there 15 822 spoilt votes. The Western Cape had 16 418.

"We don't believe that a high number of South Africans are still illiterate in terms of voting, they know exactly how to go about with voting, we think that are deliberate particularly in KwaZulu-Natal where there is high satisfaction about service delivery and voting came at a time when municipal workers here are on strike and according to our assessment, its a protest against the ruling party," Khoza said.

I smell something funny in here. My toast is not burning so...
