Cape Town – EFF MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has criticised the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) on Twitter for its handling of the election, citing long queues at voting stations, particularly at universities.
Ndlozi highlighted that the youth, eager to vote, faced significant delays, with some waiting since 9 am on Wednesday.
“There are unbearably looong lines in universities. The IEC is proving incredibly incompetent! The danger is: the youth has finally showed up to vote. And now they are too scared, so they make it almost impossible for them to vote: some have been waiting in the lines since 9am,” he wrote.
