IKhomishini Yokhetho Ezimele (i-IEC) ithole isabelo sesabelomali esingu-R3.2 billion kulo nyaka wezimali wamanje ukuze iqondise uKhetho Lohulumeni Bendawo luka-2026, oluhlelelwe umhlaka-4 Novemba 2026, ngenkathi iqinisa imizamo yayo yokubhalisa abavoti kanye nokuqwashisa ezweni lonke, ngokusho kwezitatimende ezisemthethweni kanye nokubuyekezwa kwakamuva okuvela kwiKhomishini.

Isabelomali Esikhulu Sokuhlela Nokusebenzisa Ukhetho

Ngokusho kwesitatimende esivela kwiKomidi Elihlala Lisebenza Ngezimali, isabelo se-IEC esiyizigidigidi zamarandi sizinikele ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi kuhlelwe kahle futhi kufezwa ngempumelelo ukhetho lomasipala oluzayo. Ikhomishini ibhalise amaqembu ezepolitiki angu-508 ukuze ancintisane okhethweni, okubonisa ukwanda okuqhubekayo kwesimo sezepolitiki saseNingizimu Afrika.

Isikhulu Esiphezulu Sokhetho uSy Mamabolo, ekhuluma ngemuva kokuqinisekiswa kosuku lokhetho, ugcizelele ukuthi, “Ukumenyezelwa kosuku lokhetho kunikeza ukucaca kubo bonke ababambe iqhaza kanye nokuqiniseka kokuhlela iKhomishini Yokhetho njengoba siqhubeka nomsebenzi wethu wokuletha ukhetho lukamasipala olukhululekile nolungenacala.” Lokhu kucaca kwenza izikhulu zokhetho kanye namaqembu, kufaka phakathi abasanda kungena, balungiselele inqubo ehlelekile nethembekile.

Ukuhlanganyela Kwabavoti Kugcizelelwe Ngemikhankaso Nokubhalisa

I-IEC isanda kwethula umkhankaso wayo kazwelonke othi “Vuka. Veza. Vota”, ohlose ukwandisa inani labavoti ngenxa yezinguquko eziphawulekayo ezimweni zezombusazwe zendawo nezomhlaba wonke. IKhomishini ibike ukwanda okuphawulekayo ekubhalisweni kwabavoti abasha, okubonisa ukulungela komphakathi ukubamba iqhaza enkambisweni yentando yeningi ngomhlaka-4 Novemba 2026.

Izikhulu ze-IEC ziqinisekisile nokuthi, kusukela ngoJuni 2026, azikho izifundazwe, omasipala noma amadolobha amakhulu ahlonzwe njengezindawo ezingaba khona zodlame lwezepolitiki. Lokhu kulandela ukuqapha okuqondisiwe kanye nokuxhumana nezinhlaka zomphakathi kanye nama-ejenti eqembu. Inhloso eshiwo yi-IEC ukugcina indawo enokuthula esekela imisebenzi yezepolitiki ekhululekile kanye nokubamba iqhaza komphakathi ngaphambi kokhetho.

Izinyathelo ezibalulekile ezilandelayo zifaka phakathi ukuqhubeka nokufinyelela kubavoti, ukuphothulwa kwezinhlelo zokusebenza, kanye nokuqapha okuqhubekayo kwezimo zezepolitiki, njengoba i-IEC isebenza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ukhetho lwangoNovemba luhamba kahle.
