IKhomishini Yokhetho Ezimele (i-IEC) iqalise umkhankaso wayo wokhetho lwango-2026 ngesiqubulo esithi 'Vuka, Veza, Vota', iqopha ukubhaliswa kwabavoti abasha abayizigidi ezingu-2.9 ngempelasonto yangomhlaka-20-21 Juni 2026 futhi iletha inani eliphelele labavoti ababhalisiwe eNingizimu Afrika ku-28.5 million, ngokusho kwesitatimende se-IEC.

Inani labantu abasha abazongena liyanda kodwa igebe elikhulu lokubhalisa lisekhona

I-IEC iqinisekisile ukuthi cishe abantu abangu-80% abavote okokuqala ngesikhathi somkhankaso wokubhalisa ngoJuni babeyintsha. Isikhulu Esiphezulu Sokhetho uSy Mamabolo uthe, “Intsha inqobe ukubhaliswa okusha, okubalwa kubo abangu-80% abavote okokuqala ngempelasonto yakamuva yokubhalisa abavoti.”

Kodwa-ke, intsha efanelekile engaphezu kuka-70% eneminyaka engu-18-19 ayizange ibhaliswe kusukela ngoJuni 2026, ngokusho kukaSy Mamabolo: “Intsha engaphezu kuka-70% eneminyaka engu-18-19 ayikabhaliswa.” Naphezu kwentuthuko yakamuva, leli qembu liyaqhubeka nokukhombisa amazinga aphansi kakhulu okuhlanganyela ohlwini lwabavoti lukazwelonke.

Imikhankaso ye-IEC Iqondisa Izikhungo Zemfundo Ephakeme Nokuzibandakanya Kontanga

Ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukubamba iqhaza kwentsha, i-IEC iqhube imikhankaso yokufundisa abavoti eqondiwe ezikhungweni zemfundo ephakeme, okuhlanganisa nekhampasi yaseRitson eDurban University of Technology ngoMashi 2026. Isikhulu Sokhetho Sesifundazwe uNtombifuthi Masinga, ekhuluma nabafundi emcimbini, uthe, “Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi sibe nani namuhla ngoba ninomthwalo wemfanelo omkhulu wokukhuthaza ontanga benu ukuba bahlanganyele kulezi zinqubo.”

Lo mkhankaso uyingxenye yomzamo we-IEC wokubhekana nokungamelwa kahle kwabavoti abasebasha okhethweni lwangaphambilini lwendawo nolwezwe. Izinhlelo azigxili nje ekubhaliseni kodwa zikhuthaza ukuzibandakanya okuqhubekayo kwentando yeningi okuholela okhethweni lukahulumeni basekhaya lwango-2026.

I-IEC kulindeleke ukuthi iqinise ukufinyelela kwayo kubavoti abancane abafanelekile ngaphambi kwewindi lokubhalisa elilandelayo, igxile kakhulu emiphakathini yasemakhaya nasezindaweni zasemadolobheni ezingamelwe kahle.
