Action SA is planning to take the IEC to court after it failed to undertake to address its concerns over the draft ballot papers for the local government elections
The ANC will be the hardest hit by the order having failed to register with the Electoral Commission of South Africa its candidates in no less than 93 municipalities
The IEC has accepted former deputy chief justice Dikgang Moseneke’s recommendation to postpone the vote to February, but still needs Constitutional Court approval to do so
The chairperson of the Electoral Commission of South Africa said the Moseneke inquiry found that the elections would not be free and fair if held in October
Legally, the local government election must be held this year and the government hasn’t said why they wouldn’t go ahead, says the Electoral Commission of South Africa
