The IEC has abandoned plans to buy 126,000 disinfectant foggers for the local government elections after it was criticised for spending more than R7-million on the disinfectant, which is not recommended for preventing the spread of Covid-19.
Medical experts say there’s no role for disinfectant foggers in Covid-19 control, but the Electoral Commission is distributing them to SA’s 23,151 voter registration stations this weekend and plans to order 126,280 more canisters for the upcoming elections.
