IEC chairperson in the Western Cape Courtney Sampson says the recounting of votes in Khayelitsha has not yet been finalised.
He says one of the IEC officials failed to submit the results slips for a number of polling stations.
Sampson says about 98.5 percent of the votes last night and also they have noticed a huge number of the voter turn out. He says in the Western Cape is at 64% to 65%.
The results will be released tomorrow and he added that “it is safe to say that Patricia de Lille is the new Mayor of the City of Cape Town”.
“I am convinced that this was negligence it was not sabotage but I think it is a matter of importance to look at this. We will look at this in terms of the IEC disciplinary hearing.
“If you look at what we have at the parties contesting the Metro the DA has 62% of the votes and the ANC has more than 30% of the votes,” said Simpson.
