IEC Confirms Recommendations of the Moseneke Report
23 July 2021
ActionSA has noted the outcome of the IEC’s deliberations of the Section 14(4) Report tabled by Justice Moseneke, as presented to the national Party Liaison Committee (PLC) meeting today.
The decision to adhere to the recommendations of the report, including postponing the registration weekend and approaching the courts to delay the elections, is responsible under present circumstances.
We remain unapologetic in our view that the present circumstances are a product of the inadequate vaccination levels and insufficient leadership by the IEC to generate public confidence to vote through the communication of decisive measures for safe voting.
Our primary submission to the PLC meeting this morning was to pressure the IEC must urgently confirm its position on ensuring that no further delay past the end of February will be considered. Already the public responses by political parties demonstrate the concern raised by Justice Moseneke – that political parties have deeply vested interests.
