"We’ve been at pains to explain that when one votes on the opera vote system, while it may say for example Aviwe has voted, it does not indicate in any back office way or it can be hacked where one can see who voted for who," said DA Chief Whip Siviwe Gwarube.

"It’s incredibly important for us to look after the integrity of the process.”
