The Elections Management and Consulting Agency of Africa (EMCA) says SAPS officers and individuals claiming to be African National Congress (ANC) representatives unlawfully entered the home of its former director, Lulu White, without a warrant and later produced ballot papers they claim were found on the property.
In a written statement, EMCA says the incident occurred earlier this month, after an internal ANC complaint about alleged irregularities at the party’s Greater Johannesburg regional conference held in December last year.
The agency maintains that all ballot papers remained sealed, secured and under strict chain-of-custody control, making the alleged discovery highly irregular.
EMCA further denies any involvement in ballot tampering and says the former director has not been involved in its operations for five years.
A criminal case of trespassing has been opened, and EMCA says it will cooperate with any lawful investigation
