WATCH: Accusations fly after police, military called to inspect 'ballot' box | IOL News

Port Elizabeth - Drama unfolded outside a polling station in Helenvale in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday when police and the military were called to inspect a house alleged to be storing a ballot box.

Speaking outside Bayview Primary School, African National Congress activist Hendrik Villis said he suspected something untoward when he saw Democratic Alliance members entering the home. The ANC called the police to probe whether a ballot box had been stolen. “I gave him toilet roll from the same box . I even charged his phone for him. When he left he went to tell the people it’s a ballot box," Grootboom said.

The elections presiding officer told journalists that residents had brought the box into the voting station but she immediately instructed them to take it away because it was not the station’s property.
