Despite some voters in several areas in Cape Town complaining of delays with voting stations either opening late or materials not arriving, Adams said his party agents had not noted any problems.

“I’m tired and glad that it’s over. It’s been a long, it’s been a long road. I want to congratulate the IEC for a job well done. We’ve not had any real complaints, nothing of substance. It seems to be flowing very, very smoothly,” said Adams.
