As South Africa eagerly awaits the release of the national general election results, police officials in KwaZulu-Natal are calling for calm and urging political leaders to act responsibly in the face of potential unrest. The announcement is scheduled for Sunday at the Durban International Convention Centre.
KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, warned against resorting to violence to express dissatisfaction with the election outcomes. He emphasized the importance of upholding the principles of democracy and called on political parties to utilize legal methods to address grievances.
