Zakhamizi zesifundazwe saKwaZulu Natal

Inhlangano Ezimele Engamele uKhetho (IEC) ibisematheni iziqubu ezimbili ngeviki eledlule. Siphawula ukuthi i-IEC ibigaxele ezimpikiswaneni.

Isibalo sabavoti abebebhalisile kulesisifundazwe kusukela ngo-2006 sehla ngabalinganiselwa ku 400,000. Okusho ukuthi isibalo sabavoti safinyelela ku 3,7 million. Siphawula ukuthi eminyakeni emibili eyedlule ngesikhathi sokhetho lohulumeni basekhaya KwaZulu Natal kwakunabavoti abangu - 4, 1 million. Lokhu ukwehla kangaka kwesibalo zabavoti ababhalisile kuchazwa yi-IEC ngokuthi kwabangwa ukufa kwabantu kanye nofuduko.

Iqembu leNkatha Yenkululeko likhathazekile ngalesisimo sezibalo zabavoti. Ukukhathazeka kwalo kuqhutshelwe phambili ukuhamba kancane kohlelo lokubhalisela ukuvota. Sikhuluma lapha ngokwenziwe i-IEC ukubhalisa abavoti abalinganiselwa ezinkulungwaneni ezintathu (3,000) ngenyanga .

Okwesibili okuyibeke kabi i-IEC ezinhlelweni zokusakaza izindaba ngumbiko owethulwe ngumcwaningi wamabhuku kahulumeni (AG) okhomba ukungalandelwa kwemithetho yenqubo lapho kwemukelwa nokuhlungwa kwezicelo ( amathenda phela ).

Iqembu leNkatha Yenkululeko limi alinyakazi ekutheni i-IEC njengesinye sezakhiwo ezihlinzekelwe esahlukweni sesishagalolunye (9) kumthetho sisekelo futhi esabelwe isabelo mali esikhulu kulindelwe ukuba kwandiswe isibalo sabavoti abasha kulesisifundazwe. Ukwehluleka kwe-IEC ukwandisa kakhulu isibalo sabavoti kunengozi yokwehlisa isibalo yalabo abayovota.

Lesosibalo kungenzeka sibe sincane kunaleso esesake sabakhona kusukela kwangena uHulumeni  wentando yeningi  ngo-1994.

Esimeni okubhekenwe naso silimisa ngesihloko elithi kungaba yisenzo esingahlakaniphile ukulindela ukuthi umsebenzi wokubhalisa abavoti ungathweswa  i-IEC kuphela. Akukho okungavimba iqembu leNkatha Yenkululeko ukuba lifuqe ngomkhulu umfutho umkhankaso wokubhalisela ukhetho.

Isicelo sami esibhekiswe emphakathini ikakhulu kulabo abadinga usizo ngezicelo zama-ID kanye nokubhalisela ukuvota ukuxhumana nabamele iqembu leNkatha Yenkululeko komasipala kanye nasemaPhalamende emahhovisi eziyingi aseduze nabo.

Ukhetho luka 2009 seludumela emansumpeni. Kuyaphuthuma ukuba labo abangenawo ama-ID nabangakubhalisele ukuvota balungise lesisimo.

Ukungakwenzi lokhu kanye nokuhola izinyawo kuyobancisha ithuba lokusebenzisa ilungelo labo lokuvota.
