The EFF's election spokesperson is Leigh-Ann Mathys says a political party cannot block access.

 

“It belongs to IEC, it's a voting station. It's criminal for a political party to do that and just do it so brashly." 

 

“They didn't care, all the media outlets were there and they continued what they were doing. Obviously, the EFF will continue to use the avenues available to them and we will wait for a response from the IEC.”
