The Electoral Commission in KwaZulu-Natal is investigating how a ballot box went missing in Umhlatuze. The commission says the missing ballot box fell off the back of an area manager’s bakkie in Umhlatuze.The IEC ’s provincial electoral officer, Ntombifuthi Masinga says by 5 pm this evening, over 75% of the votes in KwaZulu-Natal had been finalised and audited.
On day two of the count in the country’s 7th general elections, the uMkhonto Wesizwe party remained firmly in the lead, ahead of the IFP and the ANC.The MK party says it is ready to govern KwaZulu-Natal. The early front-runner in the province maintained its overwhelming lead at the top of the results board.
Political analyst Professor Bheki Mngomezulu says the ANC is unlikely to emerge with a two-thirds majority. Of the province’s 4 900 plus voting stations, 864 of these are in the eThekwini Municipality. The overwhelming number of voters in this area puts the metro at the end of the results pile.
