Jacob Zuma’s MK Party, meanwhile, is preparing for negotiations after a strong showing in KwaZulu-Natal. Election Scrutiny: The IEC has received 197 objections and ordered recounts in five wards; two objections have been upheld so far. Political Violence: A UDM councillor was shot dead in Gqeberha as results were being finalised. Police are investigating 21 politically related murders recorded around the election period, raising concerns about whether cases will lead to prosecutions.
