SA political parties warned against casting as aspersions against the IEC

Date: Jan 16, 2024

Political Analyst Amanda Gouws has warned South African political parties against casting as aspersions against the Independent Electoral Commission(IEC).

Her comments come as former President Jacob Zuma and expelled African National Congress Secretary General and leader of newly formed party African Congress for Transformation Ace Magashule, have alluded that previous elections were rigged.

And this is already parties thinking about what they're going to do when they don't do well and then they're going to blame it on the IEC.

And this is very dangerous. The voting process is going to be more challenging to voters this time around because the ballot will be long.

The many new parties and they are independents and it does not contribute to create. Credibility of the process and faith in the process.

If it's been delegitimating right from the start to even before the election, and political leaders should really think carefully about this type of talk because it can lead to election violence.
