KZN teacher admits to voting 24 times in 2021 municipal elections
A Durban woman has been handed a suspended sentence for voter fraud.
The Umlazi Regional Court heard that Nomusa Gabuza voted 24 times during the recent local government elections.
She pleaded guilty to contravening electoral laws on Monday.
The court sentenced the Umlazi woman to three years of correctional supervision and four years imprisonment, wholly suspended for three years.
The NPA's Natasha Kara says in her plea Gabuza told the court she was a teacher at a Durban school that was used as a voting station during the polls in October.
"On the morning of the elections and before the voting station could open, she decided to cast extra votes in favour of her party of choice.
“She said that she cast 24 votes, 12 for the municipal elections and 12 for the ward elections, in favour of her party and put them in the relevant boxes. The NPA welcomes the successful finalisation of this matter.”
