“Our defence is that few mistakes that happened of which are acknowledged are not enough to lead to nullification of the votes. They did not materially affect the electoral process,” Kaphale said.
Kaphale continued by defending MEC official who were on the ground on the polling day to be human and that are likely to make mistakes.
