“Access to the affected voting stations were later opened and IEC staff were able to do their work. But before that we had to get in special machinery to fill up those holes again,” he said. “There is nothing clever about not voting because voting is about setting up a government. All those who have serious problems that they think should be addressed by government, they must wait for the government to be set up. They must take part in setting up a government of their choice,” Mchunu said.

Xolani Dube, an independent political analyst and senior researcher at the Xubera Institute for Research and Development said this was a sign that KwaZulu-Natal voters were “maturing”.

Is money paid on receipt of crude or in advance . Methinks in advance with substantial commisions. A basic business mistake ? Is Shanduka or any if the Motsepe/Radebe family businesses involved?
