Gauteng police have confirmed two Independent Electoral Commission tents in Freedom Park, south of Johannesburg, were burnt last night as residents vented their anger over power failures in the area.

A case of arson is now being investigated but no arrests have been made.

There are also no reports of injuries.

The police’s Noxolo Kweza says it’s not yet clear why election infrastructure was targeted.
