The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) says there was a steady flow of voters during 40 by-elections held across South Africa on Wednesday, 19 May.
“We are very happy with the manner in which the by-election process is unfolding… there’s a steady flow of voters to voting stations,” said CEO Sy Mamabolo. The 40 by-elections took place across the country in Gauteng, Eastern Cape, KwaZulu Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and the Free State.
Mamabolo told
Daily Maverick on Wednesday there were no incidents reported across the country, even in the Free State, as protests erupted over service delivery in Mangaung. The city did not have by-elections, but the municipalities of Maluti a Phofung and Matjhabeng did. “There are no incidents and we are particularly happy with that because agents are playing their role accordingly,” said Mamabolo. “Our staff are cooperating well with the voters as well as the security personnel”.
