today1 February, 2024

Background

SA’s Independent Electoral Commission emphatically refutes former president Jacob Zuma’s allegations of bias toward the ANC, asserting that such claims are baseless. Zuma recently accused the commission of favoritism towards the ANC and suggested that certain IEC officials could be influenced with bribes to circumvent the commission’s system. Janet Love, representing the IEC, urges political parties to collaborate with the commission to ensure the integrity of free and fair elections.
