The defence minister, Thandi Modise, has urged the public to report any election-related crimes to their nearest police station or Electoral Commission (IEC) offices.
Modise said this on Sunday at a media briefing by the Justice, Crime Prevention, and Security (JCPS) Cluster and added that prosecutors are prepared to prosecute offences such as electoral fraud and corruption, removing or defacing political party and campaign posters, interfering with the duties of electoral officials, and forcing anyone to vote.
