The Democratic Alliance in KwaZulu-Natal condemns the actions by MK members in viral videos at IEC storage sites in Chesterville and Hammersdale where they are seen wondering around in what is supposed to be secure warehouses where ballots are stored ahead of them being distributed to voting stations. It is disturbing that both the private security contracted by the IEC and the South African Police Service allowed this breach to take place, seemly without any response from them.
Though the MK Party has a history of undermining the IEC, especially in this election cycle, analyst says that the IEC and the police must assure the country through clear messaging on certain incidents that the elections are in safe hands - even if the allegations of fraud come from the MK Party.
