Hill-Lewis posted images of McKenzie, Julius Malema and Fadiel Adams with firearms, saying his party was working to remove illegal guns from the streets. McKenzie, the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, accused Hill-Lewis of failing to confront gangs on the Cape Flats and alleged that City tenders had benefited gangsters. The dispute has also drawn in Cape Town’s SWAT team, its ShotSpotter gunshot-detection system and rival claims about who is doing more to fight crime.

He has not conceded, despite Lula’s 4.4-million-vote margin, and says he will lead the opposition from the US. Bolsonaro left Brazil after failing to surrender his passports as ordered by the Supreme Court in a money-laundering investigation; he has not been charged and denies wrongdoing. Both campaigns had requested extended voting hours, the electoral authority said the vote was conducted normally, and about 34,000 people voted during the extension.
