The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) in KwaZulu-Natal has captured 88% of the expected election results slips, with 82% independently audited, as counting continues across the province.
In an update on Friday, Provincial Electoral Officer Ntombifuthi Masinga said that of the 14 245 results slips expected from 5 028 voting stations across the province, 12 601 have been captured and 11 694 independently audited by 12pm.
Masinga said the Commission continues to work through challenges affecting the results capturing process in several municipalities, including power failures, slow connectivity, staff fatigue and recounts.
In eThekwini, high volumes and recounts have affected progress, although capturing has been ongoing since this morning, with 64% of results captured.
