Nineteen people were arrested in three KwaZulu-Natal municipalities for"double voting", provincial Electoral Commission of SA officials said on Thursday afternoon.
The arrests were made in Port Shepstone, Hluhluwe and Danhauser, IEC deputy electoral officer Mawethu Mosery said. It was unclear whether a 20th person had also been arrested, with officials still confirming the latest arrest. He said police acted swiftly in make arrests at 02:00 on Thursday after investigations began at midnight."They are all in a pile and all look the same. It is not like it is cast in an envelope or something identifiable. It is impossible to find those votes. Political parties will make decisions on that aspect.""They can challenge it on any incorrect processes.
"We have not received any objection from the [IFP]. I think it is a problematic statement in KZN where we have had challenges of xenophobia. It is misleading to say that. You have to be an SA citizen to vote and carry an SA ID to vote in this country.""We must not confuse provision of transport with other things. Parties are allowed to transport voters."
