uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party leader Jacob Zuma has warned the Electoral Commission (IEC) not to declare the election results, saying there will be “trouble” if they do.
He was addressing the media at the IEC’s National Results Operating Centre in Midrand, Johannesburg late last night. The IEC is expected to announce the final results this evening.
Zuma says, “No one must force us to say, now these are the results because the results are not correct. I think the institution must satisfy us that they did look into the issues…”
He says, “We are going to need the time, no one must declare, if that happens people will be provoking us because we know what we are talking about. We are not guessing we know and why should they rush to count, and I’m hoping whoever is responsible is hearing what we are saying. Don’t start trouble when there is no trouble.”
Zuma has urged the IEC to give political parties a chance to present their cases and information. Don’t rush us. Those who have been in charge can’t investigate themselves, that’s why I say there must be an open, clear investigation done by the commission of inquiry,” he adds.
