ICYMI: 'I was very careful to ensure I did not canvas anywhere within the IEC’s boundary line,' Helen Zille said after being detained on Monday following a manhandling incident by police. elections2021
“I was very careful to ensure that I did not canvas anywhere within the IEC’s boundary line.”
Zille said in her observation she could see that the slow manual-input of voters’ ID numbers into a tablet was the issue. She resorted to trying to establish how long the voting would take by timing this interaction on her cellphone’s stop-watch. “When I made my way to the front of the queue, two of the ANC party agents told me to stop canvassing in the queue. I told them I was not canvassing, I was urging people to stay in the queue despite their intense frustration at the inordinate delay.
