Durban – Ballot boxes found at a recycling site in Lamontville, south of Durban, were part of a normal disposal process, IEC officials said on Thursday.
"There were ballot boxes at a cardboard recycling site in Lamontville. The boxes were used yesterday at a voting station in the area, and at the end of the count we discard all cardboard items at voting stations for recycling," KwaZulu-Natal IEC head Mawethu Mosery said.
Mosery said that police and an IEC official were dispatched to the scene.
"There were no ballot papers. Ballot boxes for all Lamontville stations were accounted for. We have no issues with the cardboard boxes in Lamontville."
