VOTERS ROLL CHAOS IN JOHANNESBURG, SAYS IFP

JOHANNESBURG Sept 23 Sapa

Inkatha Freedom Party spokesman in Gauteng Gerda Bekker on
Saturday claimed there was "chaos" with the voters roll in
Johannesburg for the local government elections on November 1.

Bekker said the fact that acting head of Johannesburg's
Metropolitan Administration Hillow Maeko had confirmed the
exclusion of some hostel dwellers from the roll backed the party's
claims about the omission from the roll of hostel dwellers and
other IFP supporters.

She said an assurance had been made that the position would be
rectified by the end of the weekend, but claimed the omissions had
seriously jeopardised the IFP's efforts to obtain the prescribed
number of signatures required to enable its candidates to stand in
the elections.
