Zille Claims IEC Cant Run a Bath
On a day when most voters have been in celebratory mode, DA Leader Mrs Helen Zille hit a sour note with her bitter rant on Capetalk radio.
Obviously no one but her royal highness could run the IEC, because as she says, they cannot even run a bath.
In typical Zille fashion, she angrily implied that the IEC deliberately sabotaged polling stations in 24 DA strongholds by not having enough ballots, preventing DA supporters from voting.
Never mind that the IEC’s mistakes were felt in townships as well – where long lines of people waited patiently for hours to cast their vote – certainly those are not DA strongholds.
Are township people not as important as those in DA strongholds?
One can only wonder why the IEC would single out her majesty only, since none of the other opposition parties complained in quite such a venomous manner.
In fact Patricia De Lille just 5 minutes before was generally satisfied with the way things were progressing.
Oddly enough, most people who called into Capetalk – likely a DA listener stronghold on its own – had positive stories to tell about their voting experiences.
Though one would expect that the IEC do their job properly and see that every polling station in every polling district would have enough ballots to cover all registered voters, mistakes are bound to happen.
For Mrs Zille to claim deliberate sabotage is what we’ve come to expect with her delusions of grandeur – being the only one able to lead the IEC, every city, province, the country and doubtlessly the whole planet.
