THOUSANDS OF VOTERS QUEUE IN YEOVILLE

ABOUT 3000 people are waiting in voting queues filling the park surrounding Yeoville’s Community Centre where Gauteng’s second largest polling station is based. Voters are waiting on average of four and a half hours to get to the polls. The IEC says the pace is picking up, with voters going into the two voting halls in five streams instead of the single stream they started with.
