The IEC says it will not move to defend criticism levelled against it, a day after South Africans cast their ballots on May 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should never be defensive. We will listen and observe things that are being raised and deal with them in the best interest of the work we do,\u201d Moepya says.<\/p>\n
