Alert Limpopo residents chase IEC official transporting special ballot boxes without police escort
The IEC in Limpopo lambasted a senior official who was caught transporting ballot boxes containing special votes without escort.
The Electoral Commission of South Africa in Limpopo praised observant residents who chased after its senior official transporting ballot boxes containing special votes without a police escort. "They chased after the area manager. In a panic, he stopped, dropped one of the boxes and disappeared. Fortunately, a police officer nearby confiscated the dropped box. That box was taken to the nearby police station," said Mateta."The incident surprised us. Ballot boxes can never be transported without being escorted by police or traffic officials. After receiving the news, we went to inspect whether the box had been tampered with.
Mateta added that they also needed help regarding some special voters, especially those who applied to vote in their homes.
