13 May 2017
The turn up of voters for the Tlokweng bye-election is slow at different polling stations.
Returning officer, Mr Richard Boitshwarelo said in an interview that when polling stations opened at 6:30am, there were a few voters, who queued to cast their votes.
However, as the day progressed, the queues diminished and Mr Boitshwarelo expressed hope that the situation would improve.
He said so far voting was going well expect for minor hiccups due to the fact that some voters' names were mispelt.
He however said they managed to resolve the problems and no one was denied the right to vote.
There are 35 polling stations in theTlokweng constituency that covers areas such as Ruretse, Kgale Farms, Notwane and Tlokweng Village. BOPA
