POLITICAL parties believed the Independent Electoral Commission had done a good job in running South Africa’s second democratic elections last week, IEC chairwoman Brigalia Bam said on Monday. Bam said all South Africans could be proud of the June 2 poll, which had been described as free and fair by 96% of respondents to a recent Human Sciences Research Council survey. Bam presented IEC chief electoral officer Mandla Mchunu with a reward on behalf of all the IEC commissioners to thank him and his staff for “a job well done.”
