AN extremely disturbing report from Ulundi. Apparently two boxes containing 100 marked ballot papers were found in a voting station before it opened on election day.
From the Sapa story:

“We are shocked to learn that two boxes containing 100 ballot papers, which have already been marked, have been found…” said ANC spokeswoman Nomfundo Mcetywa.
She said the ballot boxes were found at 19B South Hall in Ulundi. The party was certain the papers were not the special votes cast earlier in the week as they were already sealed in envelopes.
She said the ANC had alerted law enforcement agencies and the Independent Electoral Commission.
The commission was not immediately available to comment.

This must be investigated with urgency. KwaZulu-Natal has a reputation for dodgy voting and this suggests strongly that something is seriously amiss.
