Johannesburg - Seven voting stations have been closed down in Bekkersdal, in the West Rand, after violence broke out on Saturday, the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) said.

“Seven stations have temporarily closed,” Gauteng IEC official Masego Sheburi said.

“[The stations] were forced to close because of activities in the vicinity of the stations. [We are]... making efforts to re-open them today still.”

Sheburi said five stations were still operational.

No IEC officials were injured, he said. - Sapa
