The Electoral Commission of South Africa in the Eastern Cape expressed concern over the decision by the Walter Sisulu University to close the Mthatha campus after a violent strike in the area on Monday.
Overall, the SAPS has demonstrated a strong commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring the safety and security of citizens throughout the electoral process.
Police and military top brass were in Mthatha on Tuesday to oversee the deployment of law enforcement agencies and soldiers to ensure the smooth running of the elections.
Chaos erupted in the Eastern Cape on Monday when taxi violence disrupted routes to hospitals, schools and the airport. More than 100 voting stations also failed to open their doors for special votes.
