Two nabbed in Limpopo for attack on IEC officials
Two suspects, aged 30 and 35, have been taken in for questioning in Gyani, Limpopo in connection with the theft of ballot papers.
A group of men allegedly approached two officials from the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) while they were leaving a special voter's home on Monday at the Guwela village on Monday.
The ballot papers were damaged, but no one sustained any injuries.
National police commissioner Khehla Sitole confirmed that two people were later arrested.
"Two suspects were arrested, and those particular suspects are still being processed for this crime and the case is still going through the criminal justice system.
"But what is important is that they are behind bars, up to this far and we got no intention of letting them go until we have resolved this particular case, " Sitole said.
The two will appear before the Gyani Magistrate court in due course.
