IEC ballot delays disrupt special voting at 217 Cape Metro voting districts

Hundreds of polling stations across Cape Metro were still without special-vote ballots at 10 a.m. on Monday, two hours after voting was due to begin. Delays affected 33 wards and 217 voting districts, including Strand, Khayelitsha, Wynberg and Kraaifontein, where six wards and 36 districts were waiting for ballots. Siyabonga Duka, ward councillor for Ward 101 in Kraaifontein, said frustrated voters were leaving without voting and that no advance warning had been given.
