Police condemn ‘barbaric’ removal of ballot boxes from an IEC vehicle in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga police spokesperson, Brigadier Selvy Mohlala, said the incident happened in Cunningmore near Bushbuckridge on Monday.“Their vehicles were blocked and in the process, the community members removed one full ballot box and one empty box from the IEC vehicle. A case has subsequently been opened in this regard. The investigation is ongoing.
In Gert Sibande , 30 community members protested in Piet Retief by burning tyres, complaining about the ward demarcation. The protests delayed the opening of the polling station as the burning tyres had to be extinguished and the rubble cleared from the road.
