JOHANNESBURG - Twenty people have been arrested in Gauteng for election-related violations.
Millions of South Africans took to the polls on Wednesday to vote in the country's seventh democratic elections.
Police officers were deployed to every voting station in the country, with measures in place to timeously address any disruptions.
Provincial police commissioner Tommy Mthombeni said some of the arrests include people who were being unruly at voting stations.
"You’ll find that people become excited and they take pictures of the ballot which is not allowed and others you find that they had squabbles at the voting lines and ultimately one opens a case against the other."
