MAHIKENG - Voters who are still in queues said they were determined to cast their votes on Wednesday night.

Earlier on Wednesday at the Marekwa Primary School voting station, there were some network issues which resulted in long delays and people turning back. 

However, there were also people like Phenyo Moshoeshoe, who did not get time off from work.

"Because I was working, then I came late because I'm from work. I was here during the day and there was a lot of people, so I decided to go back to work and come in the afternoon."

Police have started cordoning off the voting station to ensure there are no disruptions when the IEC officials begin counting.
