Progress in relation to the finalization of results now stands at 79 per cent of expected results.

At the level of capturing, 96.9 per cent of results are already in the system awaiting scanning and auditing. This means of the 64 502 results expected, 62 500 have been captured into the results system.

Of the 62 161 results captured, 53 209 have been scanned into an image and thus available.

The completion rate in the Northern Cape is 95.5 per cent, 88 per cent in the Eastern Cape, Western Cape 83 per cent, Mpumalanga 85.4 and the Free State is at 87 per cent. The completion rate in the rest of the provinces ranges between 6 and 80 per cent.

As previously indicated, the Commission remains committed to finalizing results expeditiously while taking care to ensure that all necessary verifications are enforced.

The number of completed municipalities now stands 139 from a total of 257.
