The Independent Election Commission (IEC) in Western Cape has authorised a recount in 12 of the 24 voting districts identified by the Cape Independence Party.
According to the commission there
were sufficient particulars provided to support the need for an investigation.
This is in light of the police
investigating a case of corruption against the IEC in the province after the
EFF claimed it succeeded in two wards in the Cape metro before their votes were
stolen during the Local Government Elections.
Mbulelo Dwane, who was EFF's
councillor candidate in Ward 18 Site C, Khayelitsha, lodged the complaint after
he allegedly noticed that the signatures on the voting result slips were not
those of the party agents.
Dwane said he disputed the
results captured by IEC Officials after the presiding officers of IEC allegedly
refused their party agencies to take pictures of the results slips although it
was permitted.
