Just back now after 3'5 hours in the queue, and glad that we didn't go early morning, as the system was down until 9:30am. When we left, the queue had grown from the voting station, down into the road. One of the ministers came to apologize, and he said that they will ask the courts to extend the closing down time. I hope that you didn't have to wait for a long time.

Husband went early waited 2.5 hours, I went midday and was in/out in 15 minutes, many waited most the day and left as stations simply never opened in more outlying areas which is a problem.
We had to stand in a mile long queue for 3.h hours yesterday afternoon due to the slow pace at the ballot boxes. A real shambles, and all of the mixups are in the news this morning. Badly organized is all that I can say.
Many stories will float around, nasty comments, pointing fingers, some places took very long to open and get running.
People started queuing very early, waited four or five hours, apparently a few areas suffered loadshedding and could not keep going, I suppose it depends on which polling station one lands up at.
Our station was extremely friendly and efficiently run, maybe we are the lucky ones.
You are indeed the lucky ones and I said to JP Smith of the DA, that we Smiths always have to face trouble !LOL
It was very badly arranged this side, and I don't take note of the finger pointers, as it is what it is. Nothing anyone can do to change it.
Moved smoothly on day of voting, not so sure of our province direction after tally is done!? 🙃
