The Department of International Relations and Cooperation, this is seated by prominent ANC members, then how is this even allowable, should this not be a listed discrepancy?

It is being speculated elsewhere that this department may be directly influencing the IEC.

And the government has raised eyebrows by inviting only the heads of state of its closest allies – such as African and Brics nations – to the inauguration of the new president after the elections. The Brics bloc of emerging nations comprises Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa

The ANC is expecting their "targeted" election results.

The US Embassy, for example, had planned to deploy a few dozen diplomats, according to sources in other embassies who attended a meeting with Nkoana-Mashabane in Pretoria two weeks ago.

She told them that she would only allow the ambassador from each embassy to attend the elections and invoked the Vienna Convention which governs diplomatic relations among countries to justify her decision.

What does the Vienna Convention state in this regard?

However, my vote is needed tomorrow.
