Smaller political parties, including those led by Jimmy Manyi and Andile Mngxitama, said they were willing to take the IEC to the Electoral Court over irregularities in the Elections2019.

Pretoria - So-called smaller political parties on Thursday said they were willing to take the Electoral Commission of South Africa to the Electoral Court over irregularities in Wednesday's general election.

In an impromptu media briefing at the IEC national operations results centre, ATM leader Mzwanele Manyi said that the reason why the elections were not free and fair was because of all the reported irregularities, such as double voting, vanishing ink and lost ballots. Adil Nchabeleng, APC spokesperson said some voting stations were not opened until the end of the election while at some stations turned voters away, saying that they did not have the necessary forms.

Zanele Lwana, spokesperson for the BLF, said there was evidence of irregularities in the 2019 elections. A representative of the Alliance for Transformation for All slammed the IEC for hiring teachers as electoral staff, saying they did not understand technology as she voted in Cape Town Ward 98 without her ID being scanned.
