DA sent our voters away, ANC claims
4 August 2016
Cape Town - A Mitchell’s Plain African National Congress candidate alleges that Democratic Alliance party agents redirected voters from Lost City, Tafelsig, who showed disinterest in voting for the blue party on Wednesday.
Sulyman Stellenboom, who contested Ward 82, said on Thursday he was outraged by the alleged incident, which ANC party agents and supporters in the area at the time reported to him.
ANC PR candidate Nigel Willliams said he witnessed the incidents around 08:00 on Wednesday morning as registered voters walked toward the polling station at Huguenot Primary.
“They were approaching people and if they appeared to not be interested in voting for the DA, they lie and tell people that they should be voting at the Thusong Centre, which is a distance away,” he said.
