Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi arrived at his voting station at the Mahlabathini Tradtional Court‚ near Ulundi‚ to much fanfare on Wednesday. He was accompanied by his ailing wife Irene MaMziala‚ who was aided by a walker. IFP supporters jumped to their feet when Buthelezi’s convoy arrived at the polling station. He cast his vote quickly‚ as there was no queue. Supporters ululated and whistled. Buthelezi waved back at them in appreciation.Live results, cool maps, fierce battlegrounds: follow the local elections on our web app:http://bit.ly/2apwZKU..
