Durban – ANC supporters in Isipingo, south of Durban, took to the streets on Monday, burning tyres and claiming that the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) was unfair to them.
According to the members, they had an issue with the IEC system – which they claim did not recognize some registered voters, saying even after raising the concerns with the IEC they were never listened to.
The IEC has not responded to their claim.
ANC supporters in Isipingo caused traffic to back up due to blocked roads.
They demanded that their concerns be recognized.
Leader of the protest, Senzo Dladla, claimed there glitches with the ballot boxes as voting stations.
“This voting station is meant to have two, PR and ward, but at the station there was one box a PR box. We have a question as to why there is one box,” said Dladla.
Dladla said they were not against the Democratic Alliance (DA) winning, but they believed that the voting process was unfairly handled in their voting stations.
He said they want a recount or at least be granted a by-election.
The IEC has not responded.
