King Dalindyebo thanks Malema for brand new SUV, says he'll vote EFF

"While addressing supporters, the king encouraged them to vote EFF as he would be doing so.

He also told them that leader Julius Malema had said he would gift him a brand new ML (presumably Mercedes Benz) SUV.

King Dalindyebo thanked Malema for the gift."

What conduct is prohibited in terms of the Electoral Code of Conduct?​

The Electoral Code of Conduct, contained in the Electoral Act, also details a list of prohibited conduct including:

• Using language which provokes violence;
• Intimidation of candidates or voters;
• Publishing false information about other candidates or parties;
• Plagiarising any other party's symbols, name or acronyms;
• Offering any inducement or reward to a person to vote for a party;
• Destroying, removing or defacing posters of other parties;
• Carrying arms or weapons at political meetings, marches or rallies;
• Bribing voters to vote or not vote;
• Generally abusing a position of power, privilege or influence to influence the outcome of an election.

So how do we lay complaints with the IEC ??

1. You're in the wrong forum
2. The place you found those points above also has the below if you read:
If you suspect that a party or a candidate has breached the Electoral Code of Conduct, you need to report the incident to Electoral Court. The Secretary of the Court can be contacted on the following telephone number: 051 412-7400.
