Election Security: The IEC says stolen, unused ballots from a KwaZulu-Natal voting station can be identified and cannot be fraudulently added to the count.

Some patients are being asked to buy medicines from private pharmacies. Trade: Turkey wants to lift annual trade with South Africa from about $2 billion to $5 billion, as Pretoria faces the loss of US duty-free trade access and seeks new export markets.
