EFF waits for 'the big numbers' to come in



Results in the country’s bigger metros will change as the day progresses‚ Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) secretary-general Godrich Gardee said at the Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) operations centre in Tshwane on Thursday. At the moment‚ the EFF was “relatively satisfied” with its results‚ but it “can’t wait for the latter part of the day when the big numbers come in”‚ he said in an interview.. The numbers released so far came from small municipalities with populations the size of a voting district somewhere in Tembisa‚ Johannesburg or Soweto‚ said Gardee.How did your ward/city vote?

It’s most of the small municipalities in the country. Out of the 213 municipalities‚ only 21 have been called and concluded and they are the small municipalities.”An “optimistic” Gardee said he could not wait to see KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape being declared‚ the North West and Mpumalanga. “I mean all what we see here‚ it’s a majority of municipalities from the Northern Cape province‚ which has got about 600‚000 people and less than 300‚000 may have turned up to vote‚” he said.
