The electoral commission has called on the country to once again go to the polls peacefully next week.
Independent Electoral Commission chairperson Glen Mashinini on Tuesday formally opened the National Results Centre in Pretoria, which he said would be a home to all 48 political parties.
He added that transparency would be built into every part of the electoral process, which would help establish trust and public confidence, as noted by the National Democratic Institute. He added that the credibility of the elections would be “protected and secured through a variety of checks and balances through each stage of the process”.
“As we open the centre today we appeal to all South Africans to ensure that the conditions under which the elections are held once again bear witness to the world that South Africa remains a shining example of a constitutional democracy in action.”
