Le khomishini ithe akekho onemvume yokuphazamisa ukubhalisela ukuvota njengoba kusasa nangeSonto kuvulwe ithuba lokugcina lokuthi abantu babhalisele ukuvota ngaphambi kokhetho lohulumeni basekhaya ngoNovemba 1.
UMnuz Sy Mamabolo oyisikhulu esiphezulu se-IEC, uxwayise ngokuthi akekho umuntu onelungelo lokuphazamisa labo abafuna ukuyobhalisela ukuvota.
“Sibe nomhlangano lapho izindawo ezingase zisinike inkinga sizidlulisele emaphoyiseni ukuthi aziqaphe ngale mpelasonto. Noma kuthiwa aweneme nanoma ingani, awunalo ilungelo lokuthi uphazamise ukubhalisela ukhetho.

Uthe bangu-48 899 abasebenzi abaqeqeshelwe ukubhalisa abantu.
“Kube okokuqala kulokhu ukuthi siqeqeshe abasebenzi ngohlelo lwe-internet, obeludinga ukuthi bathole u-80% ukuze badlulele phambili.
“Lokhu kuqeqeshwa kuzosiza ekutheni sisize kalula abazobhalisa.”
Uthe bazosebenzisa imishini emisha yokubhalisa njengoba beqeda ngemishini iZip-Zip ebisebenza kusuka ngo-1998.
“Le mishini izosebenza endaweni ene-internet nengenayo. Uzokwazi ukuthumela ulwazi olufakayo ngaleso sikhathi, ngeke uze ulinde. Sithenge engu-40 000 ezobe isebenza ngempelasonto.”
Uthe akudingeki ukuthi abantu bagome ukuze bavote.
Ubalule nokuthi amaqembu azokwazi ukukhankasa kuze kube nguOkthoba 31.
“Uhlelo lokubhalisa luzovula kuze kube uMsombuluko, uSepthemba 20, lapho kuzobe sekufakwa emqulwini kahulumeni usuku lokhetho.”
Uthe bajabule ngoba amahhovisi ezaseKhaya azobe evuliwe ngempelasonto ukuze abantu balande omazisi babo.
UMamabolo uthe babhalele uNgqongqoshe walo mnyango, uDkt Aaron Motsoaledi, bemnxusa ukuthi acele kumengameli ukuthi usuku lokhetho kube yiholidi.
