The new audits can only be done once the initial counting and results are handed over to the IEC and placed on the national system. “We would like [the allegations] to be as specific as possible. To say that something is possible, or look at it on social media does not give us enough to chew on,” she said.“This is not something an individual does by accident. We definitely want to deal with people. It is a huge slap in the face of South African citizens.”
The IEC is expected to brief the media on Thursday afternoon where the matter is likely to be dealt with.
