Ballot boxes believed to be from the ANC Greater Johannesburg Regional Conference have been discovered in a Pretoria house, sparking controversy and concerns about electoral integrity. The conference, which elected Loyiso Masuku as regional chair, had been marred by allegations of bribery and vote-buying. Officials from the office of the Secretary General and the police are currently on the scene investigating the matter.
ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for an immediate investigation, stating that the integrity of the party's electoral processes is paramount. The discovery has raised questions about the handling and disposal of sensitive electoral material, and opposition parties are calling for stringent measures to ensure accountability.
The incident follows allegations of vote-buying and irregularities during the conference, with some delegates claiming they were offered money and jobs in exchange for their votes. The ANC's internal dynamics are under scrutiny, with the party facing challenges in maintaining transparency and credibility ahead of upcoming elections.
