Tlokwe vote ‘fixed’ 26 January 2014 6:00 City Press @City_Press 39 False addresses, voting outside registered areas and bussing in out-of-town voters were allegedly uncovered in Potchefstroom’s recent by-elections – amounting to what could be South Africa’s first proven case of vote-rigging. As the country heads towards general elections, the electoral court in Bloemfontein will next month hear an application by eight independent candidates from North West’s Tlokwe municipality. Court papers reveal that as many as 2 500 questionable registered voters may have participated in the by-elections in nine wards of the highly contested municipality, eight of which were won by the ANC.
