The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) leaderboard and website are back online after experiencing interruptions, the Commission confirmed.<\/p>\n

Despite the issues, the IEC has assured South Africa that the counting process has not been compromised.<\/p>\n

The website shows that over 55% of voting districts have reported results<\/a>. The African National Congress (ANC) is at 41%, the Democratic Alliance (DA) at 23%, the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK) at almost 11%, and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is at 9%.<\/p>\n

Deputy Chief Electoral Officer Mawethu Mosery addressed concerns about the integrity of the process. \u201cWe are a hard copy election environment. This is a tally which means we are collecting all the hard copies and making a total so anyone can reconcile to an individual voting station to confirm that what we\u2019ve captured is correct,\u201d Mosery says.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt all our capturing offices in municipalities, we have a party liaison committee who are observing the capturing of the results \u2013 so they know what came from the station, they know what is captured. It\u2019s always there. There\u2019s always a check,\u201d Mosery added.<\/p>\n
