Everybody inked!Voting in the Greater Tubatse area during Wednesday’s
national and provincial elections went without majorglitches, except for a few ‘minor’ mishaps, like the cross
dressers and re-clads in Dresden around noon.What happened is that when Platinum Gazette arrived at the
Dresden voting station just after noon, two groups wereseemingly arguing with each other (a good distance away fromthe voting station’s outer perimeter. Arriving at the scene, thegroups descended on the reporters, with the EFF supporterscomplaining that the ANC tried to steal their voters by givingthem new ANC T-shirts, with the yellow clad group vehementlydefending their new clothes. No violence or anything, everybodypeaceful and cheerful, but with a lot of noise. Driving out ofDresden the newspaper happened upon the dwelling ofcolourful local political opportunist, Mr Joseph Mohlala(erstwhile of COPE, now ANC) who cheerfully invited thereporters into his house where a number of women was busycooking for the ANC.
We did not have time for a bite, but asked for comment, MrMohlala duly explained that his opinion of the incident at thevoting station is that the so-called supporters of the EFF weresimply re-clad in a more acceptable colour and that he was sureit was not an effort to disrupt anything.
Another strange sight the newspaper happened upon wasthat a fully operational voting station was active at the schoolamongst the ruins of Segorong. All the people in the villagewere relocated to Praktiseer (by Rhino Minarals to make way forthe expansion of the andalusite mine) since the last elections,but a large group of them did not re-register. The PresidingOfficer told the newspaper “it is still early, there is nobody hereand transport is an issue you know? Maybe they will still comelater”.
Our route took us through Fetakgomo Local Municipalitywhere we encountered the only COPE supporters we saw thewhole day and Makhudathamaga Local Municipality where theEFF was very active. For the rest it was clear that the ANC waswell organised and did everything in its power to get voters tothe voting stations. We happened upon Mr Roelof Lourens ofthe DA just before sunset as we returned to Burgersfort fromLeboeng. He was very positive about his party’s performanceafter a long day on the road.
At the time of going to press yesterday (Thursday), detailedresults for our area were not yet available.
